Povzetek

Prispevek govori o medpredmetni povezavi med nemščino kot prvim tujim jezikom in angleščino kot obveznim drugim tujim jezikom. Medpredmetna povezava je bila izvedena v 8. razredu na temo vreme, kjer sva z učiteljico poskušala smiselno povezati ta dva jezika in pri povezavi, ki je trajala več kot dve šolski uri, motivirati učence in jih aktivno vključiti v pouk. Cilj ure je bil spoznati besedišče in strukture za opis vremena v tujem jeziku ter razumeti vremenske pregovore, ki so predvsem v preteklosti imeli velik vpliv na načrte ljudi. Pri tem sva z učiteljico uporabljala IKT v vseh korakih ure, od predstavitve do rabe. Učenci so spremljali posnetke, posamično delali na i-tabli, v parih reševali interaktivne vaje na spletu in v skupinah samostojno izdelali predstavitev in vremensko napoved. Skozi fazo rabe sva z učiteljico ugotovila, da so bili cilji ure doseženi. Učenci so ponovili poimenovanja za različne vremenske pojave in spoznali, razlagali in uporabljali vremenske pregovore v nemščini. Pri angleščini so učenci spoznali in uporabljali strukture za opis vreme, ki so jih usvajali preko nemščine kot prvega tujega jezika.
Učenci in učitelja smo uro ocenili kot zelo uspešno in zanimivo, znanje učencev je bilo trajnejše.

Abstract

The paper discusses the interdisciplinary connection between German as the first foreign language and English as the second foreign language. The interdisciplinary connection was carried out in the 8th class on the subject of weather, whereby we tried to connect these two languages and to motivate and actively involve the learners into the lesson, that lasted more than two periods. The goal of the lesson was for the learners to get to know the vocabulary and structure for describing the weather in a foreign language, as well as getting to know the weather proverbs that had a great influence on people’s lives in the past.  We tried to use ICT in all the steps of the lessons, from the presentation to use. The learners looked at recordings, worked individually on the i-board, completed interactive activities on the internet in pairs and prepared presentations and weather reports in groups. Through the last phase of the lesson we could observe that the goals of the lesson were accomplished. The learners revised the names of different weather phenomena and got to know and explained weather proverbs. In English the learners learned and used structures for describing the weather, that were acquired through the first foreign language.
The learners and the teachers agreed the lesson was very successful and interesting, while the knowledge appeared to be long lasting.
