The Department of Modern Languages and Cultural Studies
at the University of Alberta announces a new travel-study course:

UKR 498, Ukrainian through its Living Culture (*6 credits)
Designed to enhance students' practical language skills with a direct
experience
of Ukrainian life and culture, this intensive course uses various
current materials
from contemporary popular culture and makes maximum use of the urban Lviv
environment to expand vocabulary and comprehension.  The language of
instruction is Ukrainian.  Pre-requisite: UKR 202 or equivalent level
of proficiency.
(Students seeking graduate credit in the course may register in UKR 698.)

The course is open to international students. Individuals who attend
institutions
other than the University of Alberta may apply through Open Studies (Office of
the Registrar) for admission.

Dates:  Sunday, July 8, to Friday, August 10, 2001
Project due in Edmonton on August 17, 2001

Instructor: Dr. Alla Nedashkivska, an Assistant Professor in the Department
of Modern Languages and Cultural Studies (U of A), is a native of Lviv
and an Applied Linguist trained in the United States.

Location: UNESCO has designated Lviv, the capital of Western Ukraine, as a
World Heritage Site. At the crossroads between Western and Eastern Europe,
this city saw the rebirth of Rus' culture in the late sixteenth
century. Its architecture
reflects the rich legacy of the Renaissance and Baroque within the
Polish-Lithuanian
Commonwealth and of artistic developments within the Austro-Hungarian Empire
in the nineteenth century.  Home to Ivan Franko University, one of
Ukraine's most
prestigious institutions of higher learning, Lviv is also home to
numerous churches,
research institutes, museums and art galleries that bear witness to
the city's multiethnic
history and role in Ukraine's national revival. Cosmopolitan in
nature, the city has a
vibrant coffeehouse culture and boasts many international restaurants
serving a variety of
cuisines. The city's proximity to the Carpathian Mountains allows
visitors to explore
Ukraine's favorite vacation spots and visit the many rural areas from
which emigrants
came to Canada and the United States.
