Programs and CoursesSadochoksThis term is often used to describe Ukrainian Pre-School or Nursery School. Weekly schedules, location, type of program and teacher qualifications are varied. These programs are extremely important, because they establish meaningful connections to the Ukrainian community for many young families with children. They also help parents to understand the benefits of having their children educated and nurtured in a caring, Ukrainian cultural environment. Click here for a list and addresses of Sadochoks around the province. Bilingual ProgramA K-12 Ukrainian-English Bilingual Program (the only Ukrainian bilingual program in Saskatchewan) is available in two schools in Saskatoon. It is open to everyone – prospective students don’t need to speak Ukrainian or be of Ukrainian heritage. The program, which began in 1979, uses a co-operative approach that involves the school, home, church and community. The goals are for students to become functionally bilingual and to develop an understanding and appreciation of the Ukrainian Byzantine Church tradition and of Ukrainian-Canadian culture and heritage. Click here for a list and addresses of schools which offer a bilingual program. Core ProgramsA Core language program simply means that Ukrainian is taught as a school subject, much like Social Studies or Science. In Grades 10-12, students may receive provincial credits for their language achievement. Sometimes, arrangements are made to have the credit courses taught after school hours or during the summer. Qualified teachers and the appropriate number of hours of instruction must be available, as specified by provincial education departments. Click here for a list and addresses of schools which offer a core program. University-level Ukrainian Studies ProgramsCurrently, the Department of Languages and Linguistics, College of Arts and Sciences as well as St. Thomas More College at the University of Saskatchewan offer instruction in the core area of Ukrainian language, culture and civilization. The Department of Languages and Linguistics offers programs in Ukrainian/Linguistics, Ukrainian/Comparative Literature and Ukrainian Area Studies, as well as Recognition in Ukrainian. Click here for program details. In addition to courses on Ukrainian Folklore and Ukrainian Culture in Canada, St. Thomas More College offers U of S students an eight-week summer study session at Ternopil National University in Ternopil. Click here for details on current academic programs and special offerings. The Prairie Centre for the Study of Ukrainian Heritage actively assists the college in the fields of Ukrainian Studies at the U of S. Language SchoolsThese Ukrainian programs, comprised of some instruction in language, culture, history and spirituality, take place once a week outside of regular school hours. It is an added commitment to each family's schedule, much like music lessons, dance lessons or other after-school activities.

Summer CampsA number of Ukrainian camps take place each summer at Saskatchewan’s beautiful lakes and parks for children of all ages -- even for older teens, young adults and families. Sponsored by church-based organizations, these camps often have themes giving campers the chance to learn about their Ukrainian heritage while basking in nature’s glory. There is also a five-week immersion program that offers high school credit language classes and reinforces classroom learning with a full slate of cultural and extracurricular activity. Click here for a list and addresses of summer camps held around Saskatchewan. Adult Language ProgramsAdults programs comprise university-level, non-credit conversational and language classes during the school year and a weekend camp offering adults a Ukrainian language immersion experience during the summer.

Provincial AssistanceThe provincial education Ministry is responsible for all K-12 credit and non-credit Ukrainian language programs in Saskatchewan. This includes programs offered through the regular school day as well as those offered by ethnocultural organizations through out-of-school heritage language classes. The Ukrainian Education Portal of the Saskatchewan Ministry of Education provides a complete listing of provincial programs, curricula, resources and supporting organizations. Teaching ResourcesUCC-SPC is a strong supporter and advocate for Ukrainian language and other education. This area of our website is designed to provide educators, students and all interested visitors with links to useful Ukrainian educational tools. EdNu - the main goal of this site is to present information concerning education in Ukraine and abroad for prospective international students interested in study in Ukraine. [English / Ukrainian] Ukrainian as a Foreign Language - is a free online course for beginner learners of Ukrainian. It offers eleven lessons containing basic vocabulary and grammar. You do not need to know any Ukrainian to take this course successfully. It is fairly short to spare the need for planning a language course far ahead of your trip to Ukraine but nonetheless it provides a comprehensive overview of Ukrainian language basics. We have in particular elaborated on essential language elements that are alien to the English language structure and therefore harder for beginners to understand. Whenever appropriate, similarities in other languages (German, French, Russian, etc.) are pointed out. [English / Ukrainian] Ukrainian Power - educational, children's products.Children will love learning Ukrainian from their friends in Alphabet Village, an enchanted place where letters grow on trees and the river flows with alphabet soup. Through songs, games and entertaining techniques, Boomchyk Borovyk and Pani Vera teach Natalka, Yurko and Maksym their alphabet, how to count, the days of the week and months of the year in Volumes 1, 2, 3 and 4. Milya, the lovely English-speaking host, pops in throughout the videos and provides encouragement and explanations of the on-screen activities. Closed captioning is also provided in English. [English] Check out this web site by Serhiy Synylo from Kharkiv, Ukraine which contains a number of useful tools for learning Ukrainian. [English] Vesela Abetka features illustrated alphabets, fairy tales and stories, readers, jokes, folk sayings, tongue twisters, riddles, and games. [Ukrainian]
