The linguistic and didactic potential of the ethnocultural concept of VYSHYVANKA in teaching Ukrainian as a foreign language
Abstract
Immersion of foreigners in the Ukrainian linguistic and cultural environment requires the teacher, as a facilitator of this process, to use effective methods and techniques of working with materials of linguistic and sociocultural content, the development of which is an urgent task of modern linguistic didactics. The author considers the linguistic and didactic potential of the Ukrainian cultural concept VYSHYVANKA in teaching Ukrainian as a foreign language in the framework of the contemporary educational and methodical paradigm, namely the competence-based approach to learning.
The powerful linguistic and didactic potential of the ethnocultural concept VYSHYVANKA can be used both in the practical course of Ukrainian as a foreign language and in teaching special educational disciplines, particularly with distinct linguocultural and/or scientific components, as well as in students’ research practice. This ethnocultural concept can be an object of research in course papers of philology students and their master theses. When studying a foreign language and culture it is appropriate to use comparative or cross-cultural analysis. This concept plays an important role in forming general communicative competence (in particular, its lexical and grammatical components), intercultural communicative, and linguistic and cultural competences.
The paper offers specific exercises and tasks for the development of the defined competencies in various types of speech activity: 1) for foreign undergraduate students of the philological specialties, students of preparatory departments, and for non-philologist foreigners of all levels of education (the focus is on lexemes with a national and cultural component: vyshyvanka, to embroider, embroidery, etc.); 2) for foreign masters and postgraduate students of philological and cultural specialties (the focus is on the ethnocultural concept VYSHYVANKA, its nominative field, and structure; the particular importance of the value dimension of the concept). The article contains some recommendations on the use of specific song material in classes on Ukrainian as a foreign language (“Two colours”, “Song about a towel”).
