«Business English» атты факультативті курс бағдарламасы, тілдік қатынасты орнатуға көмек ретінде 9 сынып оқушыларына арналған. Бұл курсты оқу оқушыларға жоғары талап деңгейінде жұмыс тәжірибесін алуға, білім алу жағынан өз мүмкіндігін бағалауға, оқушылардың оқу уәжін дамытуға көмек тигізуде көкейкестігі көзделеді. Курс аясында алған білімдері шет тілін білуді талап ететін кез келген салада ағылшын тілін әріқарай меңгеруге пайдалы болады. Ағылшын тілі – қазақты дүниеге танытатын, әлемдік деңгейге шығаратын тіл. Еліміздің шет елдермен қарым-қатынасымыз күшейіп отырған қазіргі заманда оқушылардың шет тіліне қызығуын, білімге құштарлығын ояту, танымдық белсенділігін арттыру басты міндет. Демек, оқушыларымыздың ағылшын тілін білуі – уақыт талабы. Шетел тілі қазіргі кезде заман талабына сай көптеген мектептерде тереңдетіп оқытылуда. Бұл оқушы бойында ерте кезеңнен бастап ұлтаралық, мәдениетаралық бірлестікке дайындықтың қалыптасуына тікелей ықпал етеді. Әлемдік өркениетке ілесуі біздің мемлекетіміздің халықаралық деңгейде әр салада түбегейлі өзгерістер енгізуі, достық, ынтымақтастық қатынастар орнатуы шет тілінің маңыздылығын арттырып отыр. Шетел тілін үйрене отырып оқушы өз білімін шыңдайды. Шетел тілін оқытудың артықшылығы әрбір балаға психологиялық ойлауына, шет тілі сөзіне көңіл аударуына, түсінуіне оң әсер ететіндігі, содан соң негізгі мектепте білімін берік нығайтуын, білім сапасын арттыруға мүмкіндік беретіндігінде. Қолданыстағы тілді үйрену оқушыларға сол тілдің қолдануының маңыздылығын, қосымша саяси, мәдени, тарихи бағытта қолданылатын сөз тіркестерімен таныстыру. Әлемдік тіл ретінде бейресми түрде орныққан ағылшын тілін меңгерту ұлттың бәсекеге қабілеттілігін шыңдай түседі.

Take an interview about the job
Teacher: Good Morning, girls! Nice to see you at today’s lesson! Take your seats, please. Who is absent today?
Let’s start our lesson. Today we are going to get some useful information about “Job hunting”. So, the theme of our lesson is “Job Hunting” and the aim of our lesson is to learn to have an interview for the job. At the last lesson we learnt how to fill in an application form and how to write a resume. And I asked you to write a resume, using your imagination.
I asked you to do that, because today you will have some kind of an interview for the job. Let’s imagine: today I’m a director of a firm “Equipment for you”, and I need a team of creative reliable people who will help my company to become competitive in the world market.
So, there are two vacancies in my firm. The first one is the position of a Sales Manager and the second one is the position of a Secretary. At the end of our lesson all of you will have an interview with me and only two of you will get a job.
I looked through you resumes and I can say that there are two leaders in your group now. But it doesn’t mean that they will get a job. I will watch all of you during our lesson, I’ll try to analyze each of you, I will estimate your characters, your behavior, and your professional abilities.
And now, dear applicant, look at the blackboard. Let’s read the adds.

Girls, who wants to get a position of sales manager? Raise your hands please. And who wants to be a Secretary? Now we have two equal teams.
Dear applicants, in order to have a successful interview; let’s have some exercises for lexes revision.
Let’s revise different personal and professional features of character
I need two volunteers, one from each team. The first task for you will be as follows: Look at the blackboard; we have two columns of features of character. Your task is to put “+” if the word is positive feature and “-” if it is negative.
Witty Rude Bossy Creative Lazy Sociable Reliable Shy Nervous Tactful Punctual Talkative |
Sociable Tactful Witty Talkative Reliable Rude Shy Punctual Nervous Bossy Creative Lazy |
Good for you, girls, and now let’s check and translate this words.
Task 2
Teacher: I need two people here again.
There are three words on each of these cards. Your task is to describe them and you girls are to guess these words. For example – Lazy – a person who doesn’t want to work much.
Sincere
Bossy
Experienced
Educated
Reliable
Patient
While … and … think over the task, girls, imagine that you are employers. What questions would you ask your applicants? Five questions from one team and five from another. You have two minutes.
So, … , describe the first word…..
Teacher: Now, girls, make up your own dialogues on the following situations:
Employer and applicant – inviting for conversation
Secretary and applicant (over the telephone) – registration for interview
Applicant and applicant – giving advice and asking for advice.
Teacher: While you making up dialogues, … and … come to the blackboard I have some special task for you. Put : “DO” and “DON’T” where necessary to your mind and then we’ll check, read and translate.
Let’s listen to you dialogues
And now let’s check the task which girls have done. You have the same papers on your desks.
Put “do” and “don’t” where necessary
1______ learn ahead about the company and its product.
2 ______ keep stressing you are badly in need for a job.
3_______ discuss past experience which has no application to the job situation.
4_______mention any experience you have relevant to the job.
5_______ be untidy in appearance.
6_______ be confident.
7_______ approach the employer with respect.
8_______ be optimistic.
9_______ be “I am the best and I know everything”.
10______ mumble.
11______ Maintain your self-control. Overcome nervousness.
12______ express your ideas on salary, hours early in the interview.
13 ______answer the questions honestly.
14_______have a good resume.
15_______ write incorrect information in your resume to make it look better.
16_______be well-groomed and appropriately dressed.
Teacher: In order to master these tips let’s watch the video.
Video: Most interviews, no matter what the industry, are designed to assess a few key areas: professionalism, interest in job you are offered, fit for the job including applicable skills and personality. Here are some tips of dos and don’ts of interviewing.
Dress for success:
Do be dressed properly for your interview. If you are a man wear a suit. You can either go round with navy-blue or chocolate-grey with a white shirt. If you are a woman, do make sure you wear suit for an interview; either a skirt suit or pant suit is fine. Don’t ware large jewelry, bright colors or too much make-up.
Handshakes:
Don’t give a lamb handshake. Do give a firm, but not bone crashing handshake. The key of a good handshake is to get the web between your thumb and four finger fully in contact with web of a person whom you are shaking hand. Also don’t forget to make eye contact and smile.
How to handle some key questions:
-Tell me about yourself.
- Well, I was born in San Francisco and my family moved to Boston. Well, actually the suburbs of Boston, about 20 minutes upside, but you know, you tell everyone Boston. And then I went to Upend in Transylvania and I started as an artist of history and then I switched to economics but then I wasn’t so sure so I switched back to art history. And then I had to complete more credits to do the major….
(This isn’t a license to tell your life story. Rather use this as an opportunity to give a concise summary of your career abilities and goals.)
I am very energetic and organized person that’s why I am trying each opportunity such as this one. I have over 4 years experience at sauciest level and I’d like to further my career path. I am also fluent in French and I studied and lived in Paris.
Great!
Assessing your weaknesses:
Any interviewer wants to know how you assess your good points and your bad points.
What would you say is your greatest weakness or area that you can’t prove upon
I have a tendency to oversleep. In the past I overslept and missed important meetings.
When discussing your weaknesses avoid personality or character flaws. Instead focus on areas that can be approved upon the time.
If someone isn’t working hard enough sometimes I end on picking up the slack. I am working on just sticking to my own order of business.
Inappropriate Questions:
So, are you married? – I am single.
It’s actually illegal for interviewers to ask you personal questions such as your age or material status so you don’t need to volunteer that information.
If you like, you can answer like that:
Let me ask you, are you going to have a baby the next few years?
I’d rather keep the focus on a job - not my personality.
Ok, that’s fine.
Some important things to remember:
Stand up and greet your interviewer
Don’t wear too much perfume or cologne
Bring a copy of your resume
Ask for your interviewer’s business card
Turn of your cell phone
If you forget and it goes out during the interview apologize immediately and turn it off without checking who is calling or answering.
Teacher: So, girls, answer my questions, please.
What should you dress to have a successful interview?
Should you wear large jewelry for the interview?
What is the key of a good handshake?
If your employer asked you to tell some words about yourself, would you tell your life story?
What questions are considered to be inappropriate?
If your telephone goes out during the interview, what should you do?
What important things should we remember?
Teacher: I consider that you’ve understood that when having an interview everything matters: walk, appearance, make-up, voice, manners and gestures.
So, you are ready to have your first “almost real” interview. Let’s start. Who wants to be the first?
Questions for the interview:
What are your three main strengths? (teacher)
Can you work under pressure? (psychologist)
How do you overcome nervousness? (psychologist)
What do you consider to be your greatest weakness? (teacher)
You will have a two month probation period, and we’ll not pay the money during this period. Does that suit you? (teacher)
Why did you live your previous job? (psychologist)
Where did you work earlier? (teacher)
What can you say about you previous director? (psychologist)
What would you do if I spell some coffee on your documents? (psychologist)
What languages do you know? (teacher)
What do you consider the best way to attract clients? (psychologist)
What education do you have? (teacher)
What languages do you know? (teacher)
Do you work well under pressure? (psychologist)
Teacher: Now, we should discuss who gets a job. Maybe our guests will help us.
Teacher: So, today at our lesson we’ve done a lot of work, we’ve read and translated, answered the questions, watched the video, revised words and professional terminology.
You’ve worked hard and I hope that this lesson will help some then.

Listening.
Now you are going to listen to the text about the history of the American dollar. Be attentive! After that you will have to ask and answer some questions on the text.
As an outpost of Great Britain, colonial America of course used British pounds, pence, and shillings as its money.
Great Britain was officially on a silver standard, with the shilling defined as equal to 86 pure Troy grains of silver, and with silver as so-defined legal tender for all debts (that is, creditors were compelled to accept silver at that rate).
However, Britain also coined gold and maintained a bimetallic standard by fixing the gold guinea, weighing 129.4 grains of gold, as equal in value to a certain weight of silver. In that way, gold became, in effect, legal tender as well. Unfortunately, by establishing bimetallism, Britain became perpetually subject to the evil known as Gresham’s Law, which states that when government compulsorily overvalues one money and undervalues another, the undervalued money will leave the country or disappear into hoards, while the overvalued money will flood into circulation. Hence, the popular catchphrase of Gresham’s Law: «Bad money drives out good.» But the important point to note is that the triumph of «bad» money is the result, not of perverse free-market competition, but of government using the compulsory legal tender power to privilege one money above another.
In seventeenth — and eighteenth-century Britain, the government maintained a mint ratio between gold and silver that consistently overvalued gold and undervalued silver in relation to world market prices, with the resultant disappearance and outflow of full-bodied silver coins, and an influx of gold, and the maintenance in circulation of only eroded and «lightweight» silver coins. Attempts to rectify the fixed bimetallic ratios were always too little and too late.
In the sparsely settled American colonies, money, as it always does, arose in the market as a useful and scarce commodity and began to serve as a general medium of exchange. Thus, beaver fur and wampum were used as money in the north for exchanges with the Indians, and fish and corn also served as money. Rice was used as money in South Carolina, and the most widespread use of commodity money was tobacco, which served as money in Virginia. The pound-of-tobacco was the currency unit in Virginia, with warehouse receipts in tobacco circulating as money backed 100 percent by the tobacco in the warehouse.
While commodity money continued to serve satisfactorily in rural areas, as the colonial economy grew, Americans imported gold and silver coins to serve as monetary media in urban centers and in foreign trade. English coins were imported, but so too were gold and silver coins from other European countries.
Among the gold coins circulating in America were the French guinea, the Portuguese «joe," the Spanish doubloon, and Brazilian coins, while silver coins included French crowns and livres.
It is important to realize that gold and silver are international commodities, and that therefore, when not prohibited by government decree, foreign coins are perfectly capable of serving as standard moneys. There is no need to have a national government monopolize the coinage, and indeed foreign gold and silver coins constituted much of the coinage in the United States until Congress outlawed the use of foreign coins in 1857. Thus, if a free market is allowed to prevail in a country, foreign coins will circulate naturally. Silver and gold coins will tend to be valued in proportion to their respective weights, and the ratio between silver and gold will be set by the market in accordance with their relative supply and demand.

Text: Kazakhstan currency.
But Kazakhstan has its own currency. What is the currency of Kazakhstan? Tenge. Now you are going to read the text about the national currency of Kazakhstan — tenge.
The national currency of Kazakhstan is tenge
The tenge is the currency of Kazakhstan. It is divided into 100 tïın. It was introduced on 15 November 1993 to replace the Soviet ruble at a rate of 1 tenge = 500 rubles.
The word tenge in the Kazakh language means a set of scales. The origin of the word means being equal, balance.
Kazakhstan was one of the last countries of the CIS to introduce a national currency. On November 12, 1993, a decree of the President of Kazakhstan, «About introducing national currency of the Republic of Kazakhstan», was issued. On November 15, 1993, the tenge was brought into circulation. As such, November 15 is celebrated as the «Day of National Currency of the Republic of Kazakhstan». In 1995, a tenge printing factory was opened in Kazakhstan. The first tenge was printed abroad, in the U. K. Thefirst coins were minted in Germany.
In 1993, the first series of coins were introduced in denominations of 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 tiin featuring the national arms and were struck in bronze. 1, 3, 5, 10 and 20 tenge depicted animals.
In 1995, a new series of coins was introduced, which excluded the tiin having 1 tenge being the smallest denomination. 50 tenge were later introduced in 1997, followed by 100 tenge in 2002 replacing the equivalent notes. An irregular 2 tenge coin was also introduced later in 2005. Coins currently in circulation are:
-
1 tenge
-
2 tenge
-
5 tenge
-
10 tenge
-
20 tenge
-
50 tenge
-
100 tenge
The National Bank of Kazakhstan issued banknotes of new series in 2006. They have the same values as the previously existed ones. Notes currently in circulation are:
-
200 tenge
-
500 tenge
-
1,000 tenge
-
2,000 tenge
-
5,000 tenge

Telephoning in English
Telephoning in English is an important part of doing business in English. Telephone conversations, especially business telephone conversations, follow certain patterns:
-
Someone answers the phone and asks if he / she can help.
-
The caller makes a request - either to be connected to someone or for information.
-
The caller is connected, given information or told that he /she is not in the office at the moment.
-
If the person who is requested is not in the office, the caller is asked to leave a message.
-
The caller leaves a message or asks other questions.
-
The phone call finishes.
Of course, all business telephone conversations do not follow this rigid scheme. However, this is the basic outline for most business telephone conversations, especially those made to businesses to request information or ask for clarification.
EXAMPLE BUSINESS TELEPHONE CONVERSATION - ROLE PLAY
The following example business telephone conversation can be used as a role play in class to introduce a number of standard phrases to practice telephoning in English.

A future Businessman
The Cowperwoods, father and mother, were happy with their children. Henry Cowperwood, the father of the family, started life as a bank clerk, but when Frank, his elder son, was ten, Henry Cowperwood became a teller at the bank. As his position grew more responsible, his business connections increased. He already knew a number of rich business-men who dealt with the bank where he worked. The brokers knew him as representing a well-known film and considered him to be a most reliable person.
Young Cowperwood took an interest in his father’s progress. He was quite often allowed to come to the bank on Saturdays, when he would watch with great interest the quick exchange of bills. He wanted to know where all the different kinds of money came from, and what the men did with all the money they received. His father, pleased at his interest, was glad to explain, so that even at this early age – from ten to fifteen – the boy gained a wide knowledge of the condition of the country financially.
Frank realized that his father was too honest, too careful. He often told himself that when he grew up, he was going to be a broker, or a financier, or a banker, and do some of the risky things he so often used to hear about.

My future career
What do you want to be when
you grow up? We have heard this question many times during our
school years. Perhaps, it was difficult for us to give a definite
answer earlier. But now we understand that the time to choose our
future profession has come. Finishing school is the beginning of an
independent life for millions of school-leavers. Many roads are
open before us: technical schools, colleges and universities.
Centuries ago there were only a few jobs: people were farmers,
bakers, butchers or carpenters. Today there are thousands of
different kinds of jobs, and new ones are constantly appearing. No
wonder that it is not an easy thing to make the right choice.
When choosing a future career, we should consider different
factors. In my opinion, money is one of the most important factors
when you make a choice. There are highly paid jobs and low-paid
jobs. For example, a businessman, a president or a film star, are
highly paid jobs. A worker, a doctor or an engineer, are low-paid
jobs. I think everybody wants to earn as much money as possible.
Training, promotional prospects and conditions should be also taken
into account.
On the other hand, it's good when you get satisfaction from your
job. It is very important to choose a profession that suits your
interests. In my opinion, a job should be interesting and socially
important. Some jobs are considered to be more suitable for men and
others for women. For example, the professions of secretary or
nurse are more suitable for women. A lifeguard or a pilot are more
likely the jobs for men. You should also decide whether you want to
work indoors or outdoors.
To make the right choice, you should take into account your traits
of character. It goes without saying that to become a good doctor
you must be patient, caring and kind. Teacher's work requires love
for children, profound knowledge of subjects, and the ability to
explain. A secretary has to be efficient and careful in order to do
her work quickly and accurately. Salespeople need to be friendly
and persuasive, to get people buy
their products.
There are so many people who influence us in choosing our
occupation. Parents and friends play a very important role in our
choices.
My father works for an international company as a managing
director. It is a highly paid job and it offers a lot of
opportunities. You can travel abroad and meet different people. My
father is a friendly person and he is easy to talk to. He thinks
that I must choose my future profession according to my taste and
preferences. I respect him and I want to become a businessman,
too.
I have always been interested in economics and I am good at Maths.
I have an aptitude for working with people, and I think I'm rather
communicative and have good social skills. I have good analytical
abilities and I am good at problem-solving. Besides, I am good at
English. English has become the standard language for all kinds of
international business communications. To know English today is
absolutely necessary for every businessman. To become a
successful businessman you should know a lot. So after finishing
school I want to enter the university and to study marketing or
management. Management deals mainly with people. A manager is a
person who directly supervises people in an organization. Managers
spend a great deal of time communicating, coordinating and making
decisions affecting the daily operations of their organization.
Almost everything, a manager does, involves decisions, and in
decision-making there is always uncertainty and risk. So managing
is a very interesting, but difficult, job.
Marketing deals with market research and commercial activity in
general. It involves analyzing business situations, evaluating
market opportunities, developing market strategies and controlling
their implementation. It is important for a specialist in marketing
to be flexible and prepared to make adjustments where necessary, as
it is unlikely that any marketing plan will succeed exactly as
planned.
I haven't decided yet what to study. But I still have time to think
and to choose.
Task 1. Read and guess what
the underlined words mean. Look these words up to make sure you
have guessed right:
1. My sister grew up in the

work.

together.
7. Television influences on people.
8. A lifeguard is a person who saves people’s lives.
9. The republic of Brazil became independent from Portugal in
1822.
10. Either today or tomorrow is fine for me. Do you have a
preference?
Task 2: Read the words,
look them up and then study the word combinations and sentences to
know how to use them:
To earn
(v): to earn money, to earn 400
dollars a week, to earn one’s living. To earn means to get money
for doing work. Working at school she earned 800 pounds a
month.

suitable for something. Do you think she is suitable for living
there? Such flats are not suitable for large

engineer are low-paid jobs.
A trait
(n): a particular quality in
someone’s character (character/personality
traits).
Patient

patient.
Persuasive

do or believe what you want (a persuasive argument,

To evaluate
(v): to evaluate a picture, a work,
a beauty. Our study is always
evaluated.
An adjustment

makes it better, more accurate, or more effective. We’ll see how
this schedule works; then we’ll make adjustments as
necessary.

Қорытынды.
Ағылшын тілінде мәтіндер және ақпараттар арқылы меңгеру сөз қорының деңгейін біртіндеп көтеруге себеп болады. Әр сабақтың соңында күнделікті қолданылатын лексикалық бірліктер молаяды. Оқу бағдарламасы тіл білімдерінің дамуына ғана емес, сонымен қатар оқушылардың жалпы ой-өрісінің дамуына да бағыттылған. Іскерлік тіл бағдарламасында ағылшын халқының ұлттық-мәдени ерекшеліктерімен өте тығыз байланысқан. Бағдарлама аясында оқушылар шет елдік әріптеске саяхат, жұмысқа орналасу, іскерлік саяхат , елге оралу, күнделікті өмірдегі қызмет көрсету, кәсіпкер кеңесінде, көрмеде, шет ел ақша мен валютасы туралы ақпараттарды игеріп, сөйлеу клишелерді пайдаланып, тірек сөздерді қолданып, ауызша сөйлемде лексикалық бірліктерді қолданады. Өзін қызықтыратын тақырыпқа өз ойын, жеке әсерін білдіріп, берілген үлгіге қарай отырып шағын эссе жазады. Тақырыптар негізінде мұғаліммен, сыныптастарымен диалогтық сөйлесім арқылы қарым-қатынас жасауға төселеді, дүниежүзілік мәдениетке араласуға, жаңа достар табуға, ой-өрісін кеңейтуге және өз өмірін өзгертуге мүмкіндігі туындайды. Қазіргі таңда
1. Халықаралық кездесу, көрме, мәдени шаралар ағылшын тілінде өтеді.
2. Ақпарат құралдарының, жарнаманың компьютерлік технологиялардың негізгі тілі. Кез-келген өзекті жаңалықты ағылшын тілінде табуға болады.
3. Бизнес тілі. Еуропалық трансұлттық компаниялардың бәрінде ағылшын корпоративтік тіл. Өйткені, бұл мекемелерде әлемнің әр қиырынан келген қызметкерлер жұмыс істейді. Ондағы іскерлік келіссөздер, өзара жазбалар, телефонда сөйлесудің баршасы да тек осы тілде ғана.
4. Жер жүзіндегі студенттердің қатынас тілі. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram желілері арқылы жастар танысып, ақпарат, сурет, хабарлама алмасып, видео бөліседі.
5. Саяхат тілі. Ағылшын тілінде сөйлемейтін елдердің өзінде туристік тіл ағылшын тілі.
Бұл бағдарламаның 9 сынып оқушыларына берері мол, өйткені оларға болашаққа бағдар береді және шет тілін білу өмірдің қажеттілігі.
Жасалып отырған бағдарламаның практикалық құндылығы туралы айтар болсақ, жұмыста алынған нәтижелерді жалпы білім беретін мектептерде ағылшын тілі сабағында, факультатив сабақтарда қолдана алады.
