It suggests that successful classifieds are those ones which are positively accepted by the addressees, which is why the concept "positivity" is taken as the object of investigation. The paper states that the concept has a multi-layered structure, which consists of three components. The first one is nominative. It correlates with the explanatory dictionary definition which explains the word "positivity" as "something positive", "the quality of having a positive attitude", "the fact that something … has a positive result". Another component of the concept is evaluative. The values are introduced by the appraisals. The object of the appraisal in the texts of classifieds is the commodity. Depending on the background and the aspect of the appraisal, the utterances are divided into general and specific appraising. The first ones include the positive appraisal of the object in general. The second ones, specific appraising utterances, contain the positive appraisal of specific characteristics and qualities of the commodity. Depending on the aspect of the appraisal, the specific appraising utterances may characterize novelty, modernity and price of the commodity. Also, the values may be represented both explicitly and implicitly. The explicit presentation of the positive appraisal takes place via lexical units with direct positive meaning, such as: good, excellent, perfect. The implicit positive appraisal in classifieds is formed with the help of negative prefixes and particles which reduce the negative meaning of the semantically negative words, e.g., unused, never used. The last component of the concept structure is figurative. This part of the concept "positivity" is represented by physical characteristics of the commodity which should meet the requirements of the addressee. These are the desired shape, color, material, appearance, size, quantity, condition and brand. At the end the article provides the conclusions and perspectives of the investigation.Item Contesting Ukrainian Nationhood: Literary Translation and the Russian-Ukrainian Conflict(2022) Rudnytska, NataliiaThe use of literary translations as an ideological weapon in the Cold War era has received considerable attention from translation scholars.

The learning environment used a multimedia-based textbook entitled “Business skills through English”. This was experimental research which used a mixed-methods approach. Students’ critical thinking skills and academic performance (learning outcomes) were the variables for this study. Placement tests, needs analysis questionnaires, Course Satisfaction Questionnaire, a test to assess the students’ critical thinking skills were used to collect the statistical data. Cronbach Alpha coefficient was applied to interpret the test on critical thinking data and SPSS AMOS statistical package programme was used to analyse the consolidated data. The study found that the “flipped classroom” model used to deliver ESP and Business English to the students majoring in Economics has the potential to provide a better learning experience for the students and teaching experience for the teachers. This model fosters students’ critical thinking skills by involving them in problem-solving-based learning and improves their academic performances by increasing their responsibility for learning results and stimulating them to use different learning styles. Overall, the above model substitutes a teacher-centered with a student-centered approach that engages learners in the true-to-life business world and language environment. In this way, learning Business English and ESP at higher educational institutions in Ukraine is a move from just training memory (memorizing professionalism-related English vocabulary and doing grammar drills) to applying language as a learning medium in the specifically designed vocational contexts.Item Discussion as the way of improving speaking skills(2002) Semyankiv, I.The article is devoted to the problems of preparation and conducting of the discussion.

The research was aimed to analyze how Moodle learning management system (LMS) can be applied to online language testing, study the effectiveness of online testing and compare the students’ and teachers’ attitude towards online testing in General English university course. Online tests were administrated as a synchronous component of the distance learning to 857 first-year bachelor’s degree students of "Kyiv-Mohyla Academy" (Ukraine) by 20 teachers during the 2020-2021 academic year. A mixed research design was employed, which involved collecting data using an online questionnaire completed by students and teachers anonymously as Microsoft Forms; Excel spreadsheets were used for the analysis afterward. A quantitative descriptive study was conducted to evaluate the students’ and teachers’ satisfaction with online testing. The expert evaluation method was prioritized to define the expediency of the effectiveness of the online test by the specified criteria and indicators based on the judgments expressed by 7 experienced teachers who are competent in test design. In addition, Pearson’s correlation coefficient was calculated to compare the results of an online test and oral exam. The qualitative research method allowed to analyse and interpret data of the experimental learning. Based on the results of our study, we can conclude that different types of Moodle LMS questions can be successfully applied to online language testing as part of course assessment at the university level. The paper argues that online language testing can be effective and relevant to course objectives from both students’ and teachers’ perspectives with positive washback on education. The results of the study can be employed by university teachers for language course design both for distance and blended learning.
