Module Outline
This course aims to enable students to function in most everyday situations in Ukrainian and to appreciate the complexity of Ukrainian culture and society. This includes sound knowledge of vocabulary (approximately 2200-2500 words), grammar, morphology (e.g. verbs in all tenses and various moods, verbal aspect, cases, singular and plural forms, possessive constructions, derivation, etc.), syntax and phonetics (improving pronunciation and intonation). The course follows up and consolidates the knowledge of Ukrainian gained on the Ukrainian B off-track module, and completes the Ukrainian off-track (A, B, and C) course.
EXPECTED OUTCOMES
By the end of the course students should have reached level B2 (an advanced level) in all four skills according to the grading provided by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
Students will also have improved their intercultural communication skills, independent study skills, and general language learning ability.
