A Study and Practices of Communication Activities(Ⅲ)-Skis Playing as a Creative and Intergrative Communication Activity-

平成元年に公示された新『学習指導要領』で，英語学習におけるコミュニケーション活動の一層の充実を図るとともに，「積極的にコミュニケーションを図ろうとする態度」を育てることが指導上の重点目標として掲げられたのは周知のとおりである。この主旨を受けた現場での実践報告として，先の紀要で「第1学年におけるコミュニケーション活動の実践」（高橋［23］）を取り上げ，「話すこと」「書くこと」を中心とする言語活動の実際について具体的実践例を挙げて考察した。本稿では，その続編として，個々の技能の枠を超えて，「読み」「書き」「聞き」「話す」という言語の4領域4技能を統合的に扱う創造的な言語運用を目指して学年末に実施した「スキット・プレイング」（Skit Playing）の指導を取り上げ，その指導計画と内容を概観する。This paper is the third report on the application of CLT(Communicative Languate Teaching)to the EFL classroom in junior high school.In the last report the suggestions were given in order to facilitate the learners'active participation in the communication activities,and also taking them into consideration,several activities practiced in the seventh grade were exemplified.The activities shown there deal mainly with one of the four skills of the language;‘speaking’or‘writing.'On the other hand,an‘integrative’activity in which all the four skills are dealt with ore exemplified in this paper.It is the‘Skit Playing’that was practiced over five periods at the end of the school year.In this series of lessons,leaners are given four model dialogues first.Then,they choose their favorite one,and using it as a model they write their own dialogues creatively in pairs.Also,they consider is regarded with much importance as a new viewpoint of communication for the learners.They try to express the speaker's intentions and feelings with the variation of their speech sound,that is what we call‘oral interpretation.’After three periods of preparation,each pair plays their original skit in turn in front of their classmates and the AET.The presence of an AET raises their motivation.At the end of the lesson the AET evaluates their performance mostly prasing the improvement of their English,also gives some advice to improve their English more in the following school year.The lesson plan and the teaching procedure are shown as well as some of the students'original scenarios.The learners enjoy these kind of communication activities,because they can be creative and enjoy the challenge of expressing anything they want,which cultivates a positive attitude toward communication.Planning and practicing such creative and integrative communication activities should be one of the most important subjects in the EFL classroom from now on
