STUDYING UKRAINIAN IN TERMS OF STUDENT-CENTERED TEACHING TECHNOLOGIES

Modern linguistic education in Ukraine, aimed at the formation of student’s linguistic personality, involves searching for efficient educational technologies, developing effective ways of organizing the educational process. Studentcentered teaching of the Ukrainian language is one of the most promising technologies, which provides optimal conditions for the harmonious development of every student’s communicative competence. The study deals with the peculialities of student-centered teaching methods of the Ukrainian language, as well as the ways of implementing this technology into the educational process of secondary schools. Student-centered technology of teaching the Ukrainian language is considered as a person-oriented organization and management of the teaching process which provides active learning, aimed at achieving specific learning goals (cognitive, research, experimental, converting, design), solving various difficulties and problems. The presented model of student-centered lessons of the Ukrainian language includes the following structural units: motivation, goal-setting, implementation of goals, reflection, supervision, correction. This technology is performed by a teacher taking into account both every student’s individual peculiarities and all children in a class as a whole. The following classification of student-centered situations according to the aim and the way of setting goals was suggested: the situation of interest involves the emergence of motivation to studying, necessary educational actions, gaining experience, awareness of the importance of the acquired skills and knowledge; the situation of choice provides the opportunity for choosing a kind of educational activities, variants, ways and forms of its performance; the situation of problem and search involves gaining experience in the field of problematic, scientific, searching and creative activity; role-play situations provide performing a certain communication role, modeling one’s behavior, and takes place in terms of subject-subject interaction of a teacher and a student, as well as a teacher and all students in the form of a game and a dialogue; the situation of success involves students’ recognition of their success, provides their assurance in their capabilities in conscious communicative acts in education and life. The implementation of these situations means that a student should search for a problem (linguistic, communicative or speech), find a reason of its emergence and try to solve it (correct, create, continue a text, build a model of communicative behavior, etc.). With the help of solving these situations the subjective personal experience of students is being formed.
