Practical Belarussian IV 3221-S1-0PB22C
Classes are a continuation of Practical Belarusian at advanced level. Their goal is to develop the language skills of students based on the main occuracies surrounding the life of man. During the classes there is being developed the ability to use grammatical structures in Belarusian correctly on the basis of extensive texts (for example, fragments of novels, journalistic articles, advertising leaflets, websites). With regard to the grammar focus is particularly on issues such as: construction of simple and complex sentences, use of participles, iflection of possesive adjectives, syntactic structures numeral + noun, and ways of inflection of selectedn verbs (for example, defining different types of leisure). Widely discussed and illustrated are also problems of synonymy, antonymy and homonymy in Belarusian language. In order to improve students' communication skills there are also presented selected lexical constructions, such as tchwareć na szto? / czym?, leki ad hrypu, or ways of expressing purpose.
The various aspects of grammar and advanced spelling issues, such as the spelling of compound adjectives, are presented on the basis of longer written texts (usually of a journalistic - articles, reports, advertising brochures, reviews). In the same way is also presented lexical material covering the following topics: physical and psychological condition of human (health, health-care system, the types of diseases, body care, horoscopes), environment (climate, weather effects on humans, human impact on the environment, ecology, environmental organizations), Polish and Belarusian NGOs, house (planning the purchase and construction, furniture, bank loans, garden, neighborhood), leisure (holiday resorts, television, cinema, theater, circus, film types, the activities of travel agencies).
The knowledge acquired during the course, students practice by: conducting discussions (with the earlier preparation of the argument), preparation of oral presentations on selected issues, preparation of written work (reviews, descriptions of places), review (oral and written) of selected newspaper articles, etc.
