They would be a reliable tool to be used at modern Ukrainian schools, at Universities, and at home. These programs would be tightly connected with modern tutorial materials made use of in Canadian Ukrainian language teaching institutions. More than that, this work would encourage further development and improvement of Ukrainian applied linguistics and language teaching methodology. One of my ideas is a Ukrainian textbook with a CD attached as an additional tutorial aid. We all know but very well that our kids often user the computer for entertainment, playing numerous awful low-taste games, with a lot of fighting, shooting and killing.
Ukrainian culture is different.
It is full of warmth, soft humor, and kindness. It seems reasonable to develop a series of computer games based on Ukrainian folklore, as an alternative to modern American programs. The games would be as beautiful as Ukrainian books of fairy tales, and they would both tell stories and let the kids have a good time helping fairy-tale characters. This is the most ambitious project in the package suggested. It is supposed to give the user a complete and true description of Ukrainian culutre, from times out of mind up to the present.
