Introduction ‘This seltteaching manual is designed to help a wide variety of lsamners, both independent and insiructor-assisted, to ‘develop the ability to communicate in Ukrainian in typical every-day Ife stuations. The material is offered in small and manageable portions folowing the principle that less is more. The focus is on the basics that reflect the logi of the language while some of the exceptions are ignored for the sake of simplicty, Techical terminology is avoided as much 8 possible in favor of terms that are easily aocessibe to individuals without special linguistic training. For those who have no experience of language learning a glossary af basic linguistic terminology is provided at the end of the book. ‘Ths textbook consists of fifteen lessons, The firs three teach the lear how to read and write in Ukrainian, Each of the following lessons 4-45 hes the same structure 4) Brief contents ofthe lesson, including is goneral conversational top, related grammer. and campetencies of ‘expreasions and phrases used to perfarm more speciic communicative functions, such as, for example, asking a question, introducing onesslf, offering an explanation, and the tke 2} dialogue that intraduces a given conversational topic lke “Family” “Leiaure,” “Traveling,” “Shopping” and athers that are mast ikely to be of use ina real-life satting, In addiion each dialogue serves as an ilustration of grammar ‘explained in the respective fesson, The dialogue is limited only to the material presented in the lesson or which has siready been leamed eartier. The leamer can use each dialogue as a basis to create with language. For example, the phrase Moe i'n —IOpi. My name is Yurk. from Dialogue 4 can be taken as a model to produce @ new phrase by ‘substituting in turn each of ts components: 13) Tao In’ri - 1Opif, Your name is Yuri: Moré’ ~ KOpia. His name is Yurt/Béue)im’s — KOpli. Your name is Yur. 1) Mo¢ nplaamajolote... My family nome i. ©) Moe i's ~ 1a (Powin, Mapin, Crura) My namo is ivan (Reman, Maa, Olha). Having mestered these simple bulng blocks, the leamer can create thelr own new combinations, 1a, Mod i's — Yl, a's ~Mapl. My name is Yun and her namo is Maria. Thus each dalogue bocomes @ point of departure for the learner's tinguisticcreativly which can be virtually united. 3) English translation ofthe dialogue closely follows the Ukrainian original. Sometimes, when called for, t includes ‘verbatim rendition of the structures that are not found in Engjish in orGer to famlarze the leamer with spectficaly Uwsainian expressions. For example, Powanonl nond6aeri.ca anavruca chinks. wil bo translated both in literary English as Roman ites fo watch fims and verbatim lt. Te watch fms pleases Raman". An asterisk (")is used to mark ‘such verbatim renditions ar ather artificial constructs whose goal isto faciitate leering by revealing the peculiarities of the Ukrainian language that are not found in English, 4) Notes on the dialogue briefly explain any grammar and vecabulary that are not covered in the respective lesson that would ctherwise complicate understanding ofthe dialogue. They can always be amplified by consulting the Dictionary atthe end of the textbook 5) Additional vocabulary and expressions pertaining tothe respective communicative roles introduced in the lesson. 6) Grammor is presented in its immediate connection o the needs of everyday communication. That is why fist the lesmer wil find out what can be said by a particular form (unction) and then how this form is constructed (formation). “The rules are laid out ina simple manner withthe principal ending given a visual prominence and its variants indentd. 7) Exercises aim at helping the leamer understand hay the introduegd malarial funedigns in real communication, The ‘exercises are mostly interactive and consist of @ cus {89 or question F6} and answer I to it. Each has a model to be fosowed by the learner. In their totality, they are designed to help the laarner develop the communicative skis which ‘spproach the fluency of a native Ukrainian, Repetition and recycling ofthe previously learned materiel is Gradually amplified by a new one. Each exercise has Keys that can be both read and listened to from the interactive website that lergely micrors and amples the textbook. The laarner should aim at developing the capacity to react correctly to the ‘Sues in the exercises by hearing and without reading, An Important part ofthe exercises are these assignments that equi the leamer's use of the quickly expanding Ukrainian language Internet resources. 5) Questions on cisiogue that revisit the main topic of the lesson, encourage the leamerto bring their personal ‘experience in, and discuss it relying on the already acquired grammar and vocabulary. 9) A scripted skit eoneludes avery lesson and is a scenario that the leameris asked to enact with a partner using the ‘conversational and grammer material learned inthe lesson, The ski's not to be treated as a translation assignment ‘but as general guidance for a conversation. Therefore, every time Its inacted, the sludents will use a dflrent language, jst like one notion, for example, 2 greeting, surprise, agreement, delight, atc, can be expressed in a umber of different ways, To move on tothe next lesson the leaner needs fo master the material of all previous ‘The fifteen lessons are followad by the glossary Basie Linguistic Terms Used in the Textbook that will hele those ‘without the experience of foreign language learning to make sense of the grammar explanations and the indispensiblevil Acknomied pmanes terninalogy used! in ths, and infact, in he great majrty of other foreign language textbooks.
