Abstract

A review of the scientific and methodological output of the teachers of the Department of Ukrainian Applied Linguistics for two decades was carried out. Established in 1996, the department has become a strategically important structural unit both for the popularization of the Ukrainian language in a foreign language environment and for the significant improvement of the scientific-instrumental level of professional speech of students of other faculties of the university. To ensure successful teaching work, it was necessary to have appropriate educational materials both for teaching the Ukrainian language to foreign students and for students of various professional fields, improving their mastery of the native (state) language and scientific and professional vocabulary. Among the publications of the department are textbooks, manuals, dictionaries, phrasebooks, materials for reading in a foreign-language audience, collections of scientific works, in which acute issues of the methodology of language teaching to foreigners were considered and are being considered, materials on linguistic and regional studies, which included texts on the history of Ukraine, its culture, art, folk traditions. The department became a pioneer in the development of national standards for the Ukrainian language for foreigners, developed a scale of levels of Ukrainian language proficiency, requirements for knowledge, abilities and skills of foreign citizens, which became the basis for both the Standard of the Lviv National University and the State Standard. In lectures and practical classes in a professional direction, the main attention is focused on the Ukrainian language course through the prism of language norms and special terminology in order to bring students closer to their future profession, to produce a literate, competent, highly cultured specialist.
