Belarusian language I 3221-FBA-NJBA2-OG
Classes include learning of Belarusian language at the advanced level. Their goal is to teach students the proper use of complex grammatical structures in speaking and writing and effective use of the lexicon associated with the professions, transport, trade and services. The syllabus covers such aspects of grammar as: conjugation of verbs (including verbs of motion), the types and use of adverbs in sentences, prepositional constructions, subjunctive, possessive pronouns, the use of instrumental case forms in various expressions, adjectives with suffix-awat.
Their knowledge of grammar, among other things, students practice by conducting extensive interviews and discussions. To improve students' communication skills in Belarusian language in the classroom there are discussed typical ways to use language in everyday life, such as ways of asking directions, possibilities of ordering and buying goods, ways to express weights and measures, or ways to express dreams and desires.
In order to improve students' language skills there are presented texts (spoken and written) relating to: life (work areas, jobs, ways of defining professions, the organization of work - office equipment, etc., pensions), transport (types and means of communication), trade (types of stores and types of products) and services (restaurants, banks, hotels, post office). Students also analyze (in terms of language and content), how to write ads and resumes, and construct them by themselves.
During the course emphasized and illustrated with examples is also the problem of ambiguity of expression and the problems of equivalence in Polish and Belarusian lexemes selected language constructs.
