About

The Dobra forma project is directed by Dr. Oleksandra Wallo, Associate Professor of Ukrainian and faculty director of the KU Language Institute in Lviv, Ukraine. Her research interests include acquisition of Slavic case systems and the teaching and learning of Ukrainian grammar through processing instruction, and the use of authentic materials with elementary and intermediate learners of Ukrainian. She is also the author of Ukrainian Women Writers and the National Imaginary: From the Collapse of the USSR to the Euromaidan (University of Toronto Press, 2020) as well as articles on contemporary Ukrainian literature and film.

Initial work on the project was provided by Olha Korinets, a Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistant at KU during AY 2017-18 who piloted early drafts in the first-year language sequence.  Tetiana Kidruk, who assumed the Fulbright FLTA position in 2019, provided invaluable proofreading help and authored module 24.2 on the past tense of verbs. Reagan Kanter, an advanced undergraduate student studying Ukrainian, served as consultant for the project on issues of pedagogical clarity and user experience and authored module 12.1 on possessive pronouns.
