How can cultural concepts like Vyshyvanka enhance language learning

Cultural concepts like Vyshyvanka can enhance language learning by immersing learners in the cultural and linguistic environment associated with the target language. Using such cultural symbols helps in developing multiple competences including general communicative, intercultural communicative, and linguistic and cultural competences. Teaching through cultural concepts supports the competence-based approach and promotes deeper engagement with the language, improves understanding of lexical and grammatical components, and makes language learning more meaningful and contextually relevant. Specific exercises related to these cultural concepts in various speech activities help foreign language learners connect language forms with living cultural realities, facilitating more effective acquisition and motivation. ¹
