Linguistic and cultural aspects of teaching Ukrainian as a foreign language

Abstract

In the article the culturological aspects during the teaching process are described in a way to help teachers who help students and those who learn the Ukrainian language not only to get the ability to communicate in the society, but also give a chance to enter the foreign community and mentality in accordance with the semantic of the words which have equivalents in Ukrainian. The situations when well-known words with direct equivalents in other languages help students in the beginning of language learning. At the same time they do not describe details of the meaning and student from the beginning starts missing something that belongs to the culture of the language he is trying to study. Such words have to be described in special dialogs or in texts, which have to be originally presented in the books and obligatory described by the teacher. That is the first step to help students to enter another culture thanks to language and to the mentality of the foreign society. The second one is to accumulate step by step knowledge of grammar and vocabulary. In the article an example is given according to which a reader might have chance to see how it is presented from both cultural and grammar point of view. There will be also analyzed different books of Ukrainian language as a foreign language and presented two methods which are not presented in the books for language study, but from our point of view have to be used during the lessons to help students to understand the foreign culture through the language which they learn for any purpose. It is also provided a model of explanation, which helps students see the linguistic world image of the people whose language they are learning right from the start.
