A state standard of the Ukrainian language for foreigners has been developed in Lviv
The Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine has developed a State Standard for Ukrainian as a Foreign Language, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine.
State Standard unifies the system of requirements for proficiency in the Ukrainian language and contains a clear list of communication skills at each level (from A1 to C2, in accordance with the Pan-European Recommendations for Language Education) for all types of speech activity (listening, reading, writing, speaking).
The document was developed with the aim of a unified approach to the development of new educational programs, the creation of modern textbooks with Ukrainian as a foreign language, the preparation of dictionaries, the opening of Ukrainian-language programs and language centers.
“This is due, in particular, to the fact that within the framework of the Bologna process, which Ukraine joined back in 2005, the number of exchange programs between Ukrainian and foreign universities is growing every year. As a result, the number of foreign students wishing to master the Ukrainian language is growing. At the same time, the number of academic organizations (for example, the University of Cambridge, the Humboldt University of Berlin, the Ukrainian Institute in London and others) is increasing, which provide the opportunity for foreigners to study the Ukrainian language,” the message says.
The development of uniform state requirements for the levels of proficiency in Ukrainian as a foreign language (Standard) can become the basis for organizing and conducting a certification exam (Diagnostics) and the basis for the introduction of a uniform document (Certificate), which will confirm the level of proficiency in the Ukrainian language.
It is interesting that the drafters of the State Standard for Ukrainian as a Foreign Language are exclusively Galicians: Danuta Mazurik (Ivan Franko Lviv National University), Alexandra Antoniv (Ivan Franko Lviv National University, GO “Center for Ukrainian Studies”), Elena Sinchak ( Ukrainian Catholic University), Galina Boyko (National University “Lviv Polytechnic”).
