This is an entry level Ukrainian language course designed for students with no previous language experience or those who have not formally studied structural grammar of the language. The goal of this course is the acquisition of a solid basic understanding of the Ukrainian language structure as well as functional development of listening, speaking, reading and writing skills.
The course progresses mainly through communication activities, with the gradual introduction of conceptual and functional linguistic elements. Lessons are enhanced with Ukrainian cultural elements and include poems, songs, films, cartoons, etc. An annual Ukrainian Pysanka (Easter Egg) workshop is included in the curriculum.
Class Format:
All components will be synchronous except for tests/quizzes, which will be timed assignments to be completed at home. Testing will be asynchronous for written work and synchronous for oral/aural work.
Canvas will be used for recording grades, posting and submitting assignments, tests, quizzes, and additional learning resources. Class sessions will be conducted via Zoom.
