The second in a two-semester sequence of Introductory Ukrainian. This course aims to provide a solid foundation in Ukrainian in four major communicative skills: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Students learn to communicate effectively and sensitively across cultural and linguistic boundaries while developing knowledge of and respect for the language, traditions, and beliefs of Ukrainian people. By the end of the 1B course, students will be able to read some original Ukrainian texts, discuss daily matters, and expand their ability to address more complex subjects.

Ukrainian 1B is the second in a two-semester sequence of Introductory Ukrainian. This course aims to provide a solid foundation in Ukrainian by teaching four major communicative skills: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Students learn to communicate effectively and sensitively across cultural and linguistic boundaries while developing knowledge of and respect for the language, traditions, and beliefs of Ukrainian people. Stressing the interdependence of language and culture, the course familiarizes students with the culture and history of Ukraine. Cultural awareness will be enhanced with authentic audio-visual materials, literary texts, and cultural artifacts. Additionally, students will be guided in their exploration of aspects of Ukrainian language and culture that are of particular interest to them (e.g., history, politics, literature, etc.). By the end of the 1B course, students will be able to read some original Ukrainian texts, discuss daily matters, and expand their ability to address more complex subjects.

Prerequisite: Ukrainian 1A or placement assessment.
