Abstract

The article is devoted to the current problem of enriching the educational text materials on Ukrainian as a foreign language. The purpose of the paper is to determine the optimal linguodidactic strategy for the presentation of Hryhorii Skovoroda and his work to foreign students. As a result of the analysis of language textbooks for foreigners, it was established that the two leading strategies for getting to know the most prominent Ukrainian philosopher and his works are designed for different categories of foreigners: students of various specialties and future philologists. In the first case, there are informational texts about Hryhorii Skovoroda and only a few of his adapted fables, which are accompanied by lexical-grammatical and communicative tasks. In the second case, there is a slightly wider palette of artistic texts, a minimal adaptation, the comments with elements of ideological and artistic analysis, the tasks aimed at developing not only communicative competence, but also professional competence (the ability to do literary analysis). The article focuses on the new manual “Catch Skovoroda” of the International Institute of Education, Culture and Diaspora Relations. The concept of the book, its structure, the system of tasks aimed at the comprehensive development of all types of speech activity are characterized. The reference of the manual’s authors primarily to the emotional and motivational spheres of the foreign student’s personality makes it effective to study figures and works that may seem difficult or incomprehensible under the traditional, rationally oriented educational paradigm. A conclusion was made about the effectiveness of educational materials, which are based on the strategies of emotional involvement of the foreign reader and appeal to his personal experience.
