CURRENT TRENDS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF UKRAINIAN LINGUISTIC METHODOLOGY: GLOBAL AND NATIONAL DIMENSIONS

Abstract

The research aim is to define current trends in the development of Ukrainian linguistic methodology basedon an understanding of global challenges that affect the transformation of the educational system. To achievethis aim, the following methods were used: analysis of scientific sources and normative documents (resolutionsand orders of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, concepts, educational programs); theoretical understandingand generalization of the scientific foundations of the problem under study; inductive and deductive methods,abstraction and idealization in determining trends in the development of national linguistic methodology inthe 2020s. Research results. The definition of current trends in Ukrainian linguistic methodology is influencedby factors of a global nature (consequences of the coronavirus pandemic; social transformations and large-scale upheavals) and of a national nature (compliance of the European and Ukrainian educational systemswith the level of technological development; hybrid war – since 2014 and full-scale war since 2022; distorteddemographic situation; educational migration and emigration of Ukrainians, in particular, students and teachers).The work identifies five trends in the development of Ukrainian linguistic methodology in modern reality:1) transformation of Ukrainian linguistic methodology; 2) interdisciplinary integration; 3) digitalizationof subjects of language and literary education; 4) introduction of norms of the new edition of Ukrainian Spellingin school language practice; 5) expert assessment (certification) of professional competencies of teachers.Conclusions. Trends in the development of Ukrainian linguistic methodology in the 2020s, highlighted inthe study, are aimed at understanding the essence of the transformation processes that have been taking placein the last five years in school language education. The discussion about how these trends affect the teachingof the Ukrainian language to teenagers of the Alpha generation will allow us to choose effective methods,and model new approaches and technologies of teaching that will meet the needs of the next five to ten years.So, the study is in fact not about improving, modernizing, or reorganizing the educational system, but aboutits transformation, i.e. qualitative changes in the «game rules»: approaches, principles, methods, techniquesand teaching tools.
