Abstract
The article discusses the theoretical and methodological problems of teaching the Ukrainian language to children in the national preschool establishments in the light of personality-oriented, culturîlogical, competence, and communicative paradigms. The process of implementing education on the ground of these approaches lead to the transformation of the strategy of teaching the Ukrainian language and creates the necessary foundation for upgrading Ukrainian language education in the preschool establishments. The linguodidactic basis for the methodology of teaching a non-native language to preschoolers determines the hierarchy of principles (including general didactic, specific didactic and filed specific), which depend on the goal of language education and affect the educational process organization, influence the tasks and choice of the instruments and technique of speech development.
Teaching the Ukrainian language according to the model described in the article can be defined as the process of forming the communicative activity of a child. This process encompasses four stages, namely the stage of cognitive orientation, the stage of practical application, the stage of practical reproduction, and the communicative and creative stage. These stages correspond to various degrees of preschoolers’ speech activity, have their own goals and tasks related to speech development, and are based on the system of dominant methods, means and types of teaching. The linguomethodological model of teaching Ukrainian as a foreign language is aimed at the formation of autonomous, productive bilingual activity of the preschoolers.
Key words: linguodidactics, preschool education, state language, system of educational principles, educational means.
