In English language? Many of us can answer that this is a special event, which is organized in an educational institution of any level (university or school). This event allows, with a large degree of efficiency, to increase the stock of knowledge of students in the field of the subject being studied.

Let us consider in more detail the question of how to conduct and competently organize this quiz.

The essence of the quiz

A quiz is a teaching method that, on the one hand, proceeds from the need to organize students' gaming activities, and on the other hand, involves studying the material at a higher level of complexity.

The English quiz provides students with a wealth of opportunities to improve their speaking skills, translate words, and try to solve complex grammatical forms of the language.

At their core, quizzes are a developmental tool, and it is difficult to use them directly for learning. Usually they are used in extracurricular activities - during KVN, computer science evenings or other similar events. The basis of quizzes are sets of questions or tasks. Quizzes, crossword puzzles in educational activities, unfortunately, are used extremely rarely. Working with quizzes with competent formulation allows not only to develop, but also to train schoolchildren.

Typology of quizzes

Any event of this kind, including an English quiz, has its own characteristics.

The simplest is the typology according to the method of presentation, since it is based on the method of presenting questions: verbal quizzes are spoken out, while written ones are presented on tangible media (paper, cardboard, interactive whiteboard).

It is for written quizzes that the design typology is used. If the questions are given in the form of pictures, then this is a graphic quiz, if there are only letters and other symbols, then it is a text quiz, and if there are letters and pictures in the quiz, it belongs to the text-graphic type.

The typology of the means used is as follows. If any material objects are used during the quiz (for example, to demonstrate or clarify questions), then it belongs to the type of quiz with material objects, otherwise it is a quiz with abstract concepts.

The fourth feature is quite simple - typology in the subject area: depending on the content (the content of the questions), these can be mathematical or physical quizzes, quizzes on natural history.

According to the typology according to the specifics of the questions, if these questions are posed traditionally, then the quiz is considered standard. In entertaining quizzes, non-standard questions are used, or a quiz is a narrative or a complex image, to which questions are asked.

Why is an English quiz useful?

The benefits of these training sessions are obvious. Firstly, they are positively perceived by both elementary school students and middle and senior students. Secondly, it is with the help of such events that a teacher can form in students a love for their subject and an interest in activities.

Methodological material for the event

What questions can be asked for the quiz? They can be very diverse. As a rule, these activities use either some literary work that the children studied in English, for example, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, or talk about some region of the UK.

There are quizzes that are designed to expand students' knowledge about the history of England, its royal house, and more.

Thus, we see that the questions for the quiz are compiled based on the age of the children, the level of language proficiency and the personal preferences of the teacher.

Summing up

Therefore, we can conclude that the inclusion of additional material in foreign language lessons is pedagogically expedient. The organization of quizzes as one of the ways to keep students interested in the subjects being studied is very useful. Nevertheless, the teacher is required to prepare in advance, or rather, the selection of additional material for each subject separately (texts of a country-specific nature, links to Internet sources and printed literature). The selection of material should be based on questions and tasks that are included in the quiz. An example of this is the country-specific quiz in English.

At the same time, it is very important to monitor the understanding of the additional material read by each student, since in some cases the style of presentation may not correspond to the age characteristics and level of language training of individual students. When preparing for quizzes, it is necessary to organize and conduct consultations.

It is important to remember that the UK quiz is a great way to help children learn a lot about the country of the language they are learning.
