After the Ukrainian Intermediate Course 2, students can

We will revise what we have learnt on the previous courses and learn new grammar and vocabulary. We will study basic structures of the language and learn to communicate in basic situations. We translate texts into Finnish and listen to and analyze Finnish news in Ukrainian. We will do discussion and writing exercises and work in groups, with pairs, and independently with the aim of reaching language skills that are useful in everyday life situations.
The languages of instruction are Ukrainian and Finnish, English if needed.
Modes of study
The course comprises 52 lessons (à 45 minutes) as well as independent work. The student workload of a 4 ECTS course is approximately 108 hours (including lessons and independent work). To pass the course, participants need to attend the lessons regularly and be active, do homework and take the final exam, which will be evaluated on scale 0–5. To pass the course, students need to attend at least about 80 per cent of the lessons.
You can also participate in the course without taking the final exam, in which case you will not get a performance of the course and no ECTS.
