Our Policy of Quality
In this fast and constantly changing world most of us are always short of time and even when we are spared a chance to break away from business, studying rarely wins over meeting friends, reading a book or going to the theatre or cinema. We realise how difficult it is to “sacrifice” your own free time to learn a foreign language, but the effort is really worth it. School of Ukrainian Language & Culture doesn't just offer a number of Ukrainian language courses; we offer you a programme which combines many aspects of learning and ensures effective and thorough language acquisition.
At School of Ukrainian Language & Culture we don't just teach you Ukrainian “grammar” or “speaking”, we try to superimpose the whole language structure on you, make it accessible and ready for use. With the help of our Task-Based approach, our students and teachers create real-life situations which make language training an interesting and exciting process.
As School’s assessment test corresponds with our programme, the results help us to develop the course accordingly and choose the most suitable components for each group or individual student.
When you finish your Ukrainian language course, we will provide a final testing session to estimate the progress made. Our Teachers
All teachers at School of Ukrainian Language & Culture are highly qualified professionals with vast experience teaching Ukrainian as a foreign language both to groups and One-to-One students of different language levels. They present grammar and vocabulary that are appropriate for your current level of proficiency and provide you with the best opportunities for practice in order to make the process of learning Ukrainian effective and efficient.
School of Ukrainian Language & Culture understands the importance of professional development, and we constantly provide our teachers with all the necessary training programmes and activities. Most of our teachers are Teacher Trainers and are currently working with Universities and schools in Lviv.
