Abstract

The problems of communication skills in the process of teaching foreign citizens at the initial stage in the educational and scientific center are discussed in the article. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the practical application of the grammatical foundations of the Ukrainian language for the systematic mastery of the language by foreign learners. Methodological means and forms of presentation, consolidation and activation of national-cultural semantics in language classes are studied in order to acquaint foreign students with Ukrainian cultural values in the context of linguistics. Attention is paid to the conscious-practical method of teaching, which consists in the systematic formation of students' system of perception, understanding and mastery of the language, which must correspond to the correct architecture of the Ukrainian language. There is a need for moderate use of theoretical material, in particular to enhance the communicative principle of learning and the relationship of all components of learning with grammar material, reasonable use of native language, moderate system of exercises to practice grammar skills, because a systematic vision of language gives impetus to language. The article contains assessments of linguists from different scientific schools on the formation of grammar skills, the analysis of which allows to find a balance between excessive grammaticalization of the educational process. Examples of the formation of grammatical skills as the most important part of communicative competence, in particular the use of the inductive method (from single to general) is demonstrated. Developed systems of exercises aimed at developing phonetic and grammatical skills, knowledge of oral speech within the communicative needs of foreign students, which significantly improves the level of Ukrainian language proficiency of students, even those who will later study in English in Ukraine and the Ukrainian language will be needed only at the level of communication.
