КІНОДИДАКТИЧНИЙ АСПЕКТ НАВЧАННЯ УКРАЇНСЬКОЇ МОВИ ЯК ІНОЗЕМНОЇ (НА МАТЕРІАЛІ ФІЛЬМУ С. ПАРАДЖАНОВА «ТІНІ ЗАБУТИХ ПРЕДКІВ»)

Анотація

У статті розглянуто різновиди лінгводидактичного опрацювання лінгвокраїнознавчого матеріалу під час вивчення української мови як іноземної. З’ясовано, що ефективне використання фільмів  в освітньому процесі можливе за умови лінгвокраїнознавчого підходу. Обґрунтовано обмежене використання кінотворів у навчанні студентів-іноземців, починаючи з рівня  В1, В2. Запропоновано розробку творчих завдань із використанням мультимедійних технологій. Доведено, що успіх викладання української мови як іноземної залежить від умінь викладача добирати актуальний та цікавий аудіовізуальний матеріал, розробляти ефективні завдання, враховуючи рівень мовної підготовки та індивідуально-психологічні особливості студентів-іноземців.

Знання іноземними здобувачами освіти традицій, звичаїв, своєрідності української культури, позитивно впливає на сприйняття і засвоєння усного та писемного мовлення, необхідного для адаптації в міжкультурному середовищі.

Отже, для панорамного вивчення іноземної мови лінгводидактам необхідно приділяти увагу добору текстового ілюстративного матеріалу, який має сприяти засвоєнню нових лінгвістичних тем.

Abstract. The article analyzes the methods of linguistic and didactic processing of cultural and linguistic material during the study of Ukrainian as a foreign language. It considers the effective use of films in the educational process, which is possibly provided that a linguistic and country study approach is used. The feasibility of using film works in teaching foreign students, starting from B1 and B2 levels, has been substantiated.

Purpose. The purpose of the article is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the theoretical and practical aspects of implementing a linguistic and country study approach to teaching Ukrainian as a foreign language through the use of video technologies based on studying the figure of Serhii Paradzhanov and his film «Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors».

Methods. The study examines methods for organizing educational activities, including the specifics of using films as a didactic approach capable of enhancing communicative integration and creating extensive opportunities for teaching Ukrainian as a foreign language.

Results. Foreign students’ knowledge of Ukrainian cultural norms, values, traditions, and customs fosters the development of personal qualities, aesthetic culture, as well as oral and written language, which is essential for effective intercultural communication. These approaches help students to adapt faster to a new linguistic and cultural environment. A well-chosen film plays a crucial role in the process of teaching Ukrainian as a foreign language and serves as a key object of linguodidactic research. Numerous scientific studies emphasize the importance of working with films, as they not only enhance linguistic competence but also ensure thematic integration and provide interdisciplinary connections. Different tasks before and after watching Serhii Paradzhanov’s film «Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors» enrich students informationally, facilitating their adaptation to various life situations. The film is not only an object of study but also a significant source of knowledge.

Originality. The selection of educational video materials and the use of artistic texts in language education have become especially relevant due to the changes in the composition of foreign students and the current conditions in Ukraine. Particular attention should be paid to the requirements for representative texts and films, which must meet contemporary needs and rely on innovative methodological approaches in language teaching. Educators can use a wide array of films that highlight cultural, traditional, and customary topics or important social issues, like immigration, xenophobia, forced displacement, and adaptation to new cultural environments.

Conclusions. During the selection of authentic video materials for teaching Ukrainian as a foreign language, instructors should consider students’ proficiency level, the complexity of the material, the balance of audio and visual information in the episodes, the relevance of visual content to the lesson topic and didactic goals, the topicality of the theme in relation to students’ interests and needs, the duration of the video fragment, the availability of subtitles, and the educational purpose. Audio and video materials demonstrate not only linguistic features but also speech nuances, culture, customs, and traditions, significantly facilitating the learning of a new language.

Thus, the effectiveness of their use depends on the instructor’s thorough preparation and the careful organization of the learning process. The use of cinematic-didactic materials in teaching Ukrainian as a foreign language contributes to effective language acquisition, helps students find out key aspects of Ukraine’s history, outstanding figures, and traditions, and motivates them to deepen the mentality and character of Ukrainians. This makes much easier the adaptation of foreign students to the Ukrainian cultural environment. In particular, Serhii Paradzhanov’s film «Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors» has significant potential in linguodidactics. Task selection for reading, listening, speaking, and writing should take into account the proficiency level of foreign students and aim to assist the development of intercultural competence. Watching films that reflect the culture of the country whose language is being studied and further content discussions play an important role in developing foreign students’ communication skills.
