Select and apply, with some guidance, a variety of strategies to interpret oral and written Ukrainian texts and reflect on personal language learning.

Indicators for this outcome
(a) Apply, with some guidance, a variety of before, during and after strategies to construct meaning when listening, viewing and reading.
(b) Prepare to interpret oral and written texts using language learning strategies such as developing predictions and inquiring about purpose and context.
(c) Employ tools (e.g., vocabulary lists and audio files) and consult resources (e.g., peers and family, grammar reference books and electronic applications) to help construct meaning of oral and written texts.
(d)

Apply, with some guidance, language learning strategies such as:

  • using supplementary information (e.g., pre-discussion, subtitles and graphics);
  • interpreting physical (e.g., gestures and facial expressions) and auditory (e.g., tone, laughter and volume) cues;
  • examining context clues and key words to infer meaning;
  • associating new words or expressions with familiar ones, either in Ukrainian or in own language;
  • using phonics and generalizations to decode individual and compound words;
  • identifying cognates from English (e.g., map-мапа, file-файл, bank-банк, tennis-теніс, basketball-баскетбол, Mexico-Мексика, Quebec-Квебек, Ontario-Онтаріо, province-провінція) to decipher words;
  • using sentence patterns to interpret meaning of new sentences; and,
  • recognizing and interpreting linguistic interference elements (e.g., gender endings of verbs).
(e) Pose questions to clarify interpretation of texts (e.g., Можете повторити, будь ласка? Щo ви скaзaли?).
(f) Employ knowledge of text structures (e.g., use topic sentences in paragraphs to make accurate inferences about the meaning of subsequent material) to interpret the message.
(g) Listen or read for key words, with some guidance, in a variety of texts.
(h) Note, with some guidance, unknown words and expressions, including their context and function.
(i) Discuss possible strategies to address challenges of learning to interpret an additional language.
