Abstract

Background: Training school graduates for External Independent Evaluation (EIE) in Ukrainian is a special process oriented towards developing students’ necessary knowledge, skills, and abilities sufficient for passing the EIE test within the shortest time possible taking from several months to several weeks. Part of the EIE, grammar occupies a prominent place in training schoolers for the test. The development of graduates’ grammar competence relies on the block teaching technology which is intended to improve, systematize, and guide students’ knowledge acquisition as well as to enhance their skills and abilities. The technology was designed to organize grammar learning material in relatively complete conceptual blocks, each of them involving four components: theory, practice, individual work, and assessment.
Purpose: The present study aims to design a block technology for developing Ukrainian grammar competence in 10-11th- grade students in training them for External Independent Evaluation and provide its implementation in the educational process.
Results and Discussion: The paper proves that the block technology for developing Ukrainian grammar competence in school graduates is relevant to the aims and content of the EIE-test-driven curriculum. The technology includes 15 modules involving theory, practice, individual work, and assessment. Each block is based on the principles of consolidation, logical completeness and coherence, consideration of students’ performance level, their perceptions towards learning materials, correlation of information within each conceptual block, alignment of learning material with EIE curriculum. Moreover, the block teaching technology includes four stages: theory presentation; developing skills and abilities through exercising; individual work; assessment after each conceptual block. The developed methodology confirmed its effectiveness in the EIE-oriented classroom. The perspective of further research lies in designing block teaching technologies for other grammar topics of the Ukrainian language.
Key words: block teaching technology, methodology of teaching Ukrainian, grammar competence, EIE-testdriven instruction.
