Full-time form

Prerequisites and performance requirements To succeed in studying the course, students are required to have prior knowledge of methods, approaches, principles, and tools of teaching Ukrainian language and literature and a foreign language in secondary school, genres of folklore, and psychological characteristics of students; to be able to use methods, approaches, principles, tools of teaching languages and literature; have the skills of sustainable encouragement and support of students’ profound intellectual interest in languages and literature.

Course description The course aims at building students’ professional competencies to enable them to contribute to the creative, intellectual, spiritual, and physical development of schoolchildren in their out-of-school time, meeting schoolchildren’s educational needs by involving them in a range of various types and forms of creative activities. The course also aims to equip trainees with the knowledge of the goal and objectives, principles and formats, and content of out-of-class and out-of-school activities, encouraging their creativity while mastering theoretical and practical parts of the course. The course is comprised of two modules. Module 1 examines the theoretical grounds of extra-curricular education in modern sociocultural contexts. Module 2 focuses on a variety of organizational formats of out-of-class and out-of-school work as well as on the techniques for developing schoolchildren’s creative activity. Summative assessment is a pass/fail test.

Classroom activities and teaching techniques The course combines such formats of instruction as lectures and practical sessions, independent and project work, and problem-based leaning. The major activities that engage students and provide evidence to assess their performance are answers at practical sessions, research projects, creative tasks, a module test, and an end-of-course test. For the performance in these activities, a student can score max. 100 and min. 60 points. A detailed description of activities and formative assessment is presented in the course curriculum posted on the official website of the Educational and Scientific Institute of Philology.

Assessment A student’s final grade is based on a 100-point grading system. The total score is made up of the scores earned for the performance during the term (max. 100, min. 60 points). The formative assessment considers answers at practical sessions (30 points), projects (24 points), creative tasks (12 points), a module test (20 points), and an end-of-course test (14 points). A ‘pass/fail’ assessment is based on the outcomes of the course performance and does not involve any additional assessment events. To succeed in the pass/fail assessment, students are required to gain a passing grade of 60; students fail if the score is below 60. A detailed description of the assessment criteria of the coursework is shown in the course curriculum made public on the website of the Educational and Scientific Institute of Philology.
