The article examines the methodology of teaching the Ukrainian language as a foreign one on the example of foreign students studying at Ivan Boberskyi Lviv State University of Physical Culture. The task of any higher education institution that educates foreign students is primarily to provide thorough theoretical and practical training in the chosen field of studies, to teach them to make decisions related to professional activity independently, and, therefore, to create new values on their own and to adopt cultural and language education of the country in which they are studying. Learning Ukrainian as a foreign language can be a difficult task. The language with rich history and culture, unique grammar and vocabulary can be difficult to master. Textbooks ensure the implementation of the main functions of the Ukrainian language. The principles of compiling textbooks for foreigners depend on many factors. One of them is the selection of educational material, which depends on the contingent of those who study, the nature of their future professional activity (arts and humanities or natural sciences), the needs of students and the level of their motivation and initial language knowledge. Despite the progress made in the field of the Ukrainian language as a foreign one teaching, both abroad and in Ukraine, there are still a number of unsolved problems. Having considered the current state of this issue and having practical experience of teaching Ukrainian as a foreign language, the article outlines the main results and difficulties that both the teacher and the student may face (on the example of foreign French-speaking students studying at Ivan Boberskyi Lviv State University of Physical Culture). It is noted that there is no universal method of learning Ukrainian as a foreign language, it will be optimal to use different approaches, taking into account the needs and capabilities of students. Ways to improve approaches to teaching Ukrainian as a foreign language and prospects for further research are proposed. Key words: Ukrainian language as a foreign language, methodology, textbook, innovative technologies, language teaching.

The article analyzes the problem of writing the content for the course on the methodology of teaching the syntax of the Ukrainian language as a foreign language for philology students. The course is an essential element in the respective educational program for training future teachers of Ukrainian as a foreign language. The theoretical framework of the research is based on linguists’ works dedicated to syntactic topics. However, the basic language competencies in syntax, which are presented in «Standardized requirements: levels of proficiency in Ukrainian as a foreign language», are core for this course. The article also substantiates the need to expand on and detail some topics, taking into account the goals of student learning and practical challenges (word order in a sentence, stylistic means of syntax, syntactic synonymy, etc.). One of the frequent causes of errors in syntactic structures, already at the initial stages, is the imposition of the grammatical system of the native language, or the intermediary language, on the Ukrainian language. Cross-language analogies will facilitate learning and help avoid mistakes. Syntactic structures are not viewed as learning objectives, but rather serve as resources and models that can be used to express a certain meaning. The training aims to develop the ability to use these communicative constructions. At a high level, it is recommended to intensify and diversify the repertoire of syntactic structures with which a foreigner can express their thoughts and emotions, to provide alternative grammatical forms to express the same meaning. The communicative and functional syntax is considered a priority in the methodology of teaching the syntax of the Ukrainian language as a foreign language, since the ability and skills to verbalize thoughts are formed in the process of active use of constructions. Dialogue-centric and text-centric approaches are also efficient at various stages of learning. In teaching the syntax of the UFL (Ukrainian as a foreign language), we suggest combining different levels of analysis of syntactic units: formal-and-grammatical, semantic-and-syntactic, as well as communicative. As the analysis demonstrates, they are not opposed, but mutually complement each other. The perspective of this study is the development of a system of communicative exercises that will help students improve and enrich their speech. Key words: syntax, syntactic unit, method of teaching syntax, Ukrainian language as a foreign language, content language competence.

At the current stage, the relevance of the topic is obvious, since the strengthening of the role of the state language is due to the complex processes of the armed struggle against the Russian aggressor, the struggle for the independence of the Ukrainian state. Language is not only a means of communication, but also the main factor of nation consolidation, as it ensures the unity, free and cultural development of the national community, stands guard over the preservation of national identity, spiritual and mental development, and therefore acts as a powerful means of strengthening national consciousness. In the state-building process, language, along with internal unifying factors, also performs an external function, which consists in distinguishing the state from other countries, in establishing the nation and the state among the multilingual community. The formation of the Ukrainian political nation requires solving the fundamental issues of the linguistic sphere, so that such a nation is based on the principles of Ukrainian national statehood. when Ukraine gained independence, the establishment of the Ukrainian language in society as the state language, as one of the main nation-building and state-building factors, became an extremely important and urgent problem, and its solution should be one of the priority tasks of the state. The modernization of Ukrainian society based on the national system of ideological coordinates is unthinkable without a state language policy, the priority of which should be the development of the Ukrainian language as a consolidating spiritual force of Ukrainian society. The Ukrainian language should provide all spheres of vital activities of the state body, it should be used by the intellectual and political strata of Ukraine. The war for sovereignty became a catalyst for a powerful wave of national, political, cultural, and civilizational self-determination for the Ukrainian people. Predominant functioning of the state language in all areas of modern Ukrainian society is a necessary condition for the preservation and strengthening of the Ukrainian state, the establishment of the Ukrainian political nation. Key words: language functions, state language, consolidation function of the state language, level of mastery of the state language, language policy.
