Abstract

In the professional training system of the future philologist polonist, a special place is occupied by the obligatory propaedeutic discipline ‘Introduction to Slavic Philology’, which, by its content, ensures further study of all Ukrainian studies and Polonist disciplines at the undergraduate level. The discipline lays the foundations of Slavic studies, introduces the current problems of modern Slavic studies, features of Slavic languages and cultures, and prepares for an in-depth study of one of the Slavic (Polish) languages, literature and culture of the respective country. The article analyzes and shows the relationship between the study of the discipline and the school course of the Ukrainian and Polish languages, as well as the philological disciplines studied in the institution of higher education by the students. In particular, it was important to analyze the specific topics of the disciplines ‘Introduction to Linguistics’, ‘Introduction to Literary Studies’, ‘Slavic Folklore’, ‘Modern Ukrainian Literary Language’, ‘Modern Polish Language’, ‘Comparative Grammar of Slavic Languages’, ‘ History of Polish Linguistics’, etc., which are included in the undergraduate training of future Polonist philologists and are interconnected with ‘Introduction to Slavic Philology’. After all, it is during this discipline that the foundations of the study of Slavic studies are laid, which have the opportunity for further study in the disciplines mentioned above, and it was also equally important to show the implementation of such training by the future philologist during his professional activity as a teacher of Polish/Ukrainian languages and literature, teaching students of relevant subjects in institutions of general secondary education. In this way, the role of the professional training of the future philologist polonist becomes clear, starting with the study of the basics of Slavic philology, continuing with related (main or optional) educational disciplines in institutions of higher education and ending with the application of acquired practical skills and abilities during professional activity according to the obtained qualification.
