“Red and White in the Picture Gallery” Grundtvig’s memorial poems (I)By Flemming Lundgreen-NielsenThe author sets out to examine six of Gr.’s memorial poems viewed as a particular literary genre within Gr.’s writings. The first part of the essay treats three poems. “My Mother” (1822) demonstrates how Gr. is able to turn his private grief for his mother’s death into hope for a future renewal of Danish history, poetry and Christianity, not least through Gr.’s own promised efforts. Poetically the poem relies principally on spiritual interpretations and ambiguous considerations of different details around his mother’s death and burial. “The Birthday (at Gisselfeld, June 11.)” (1823) commemorates Gr.’s supposed patron of literature, Count C.C.S. Danneskiold-Samsøe. The poem is shown to be effective in attaching the manor and park to elements of old Norse mythology, but it is pointed out that in the end the poem fails to bring solace to the widow and her daughters and hardly even convinces the poet himself, the reason being Gr.’s refusal to acknowledge the death of Danneskiold. Finally in “Jens Baggesen” (1826) Grundtvig as an honest enemy praises and critically characterizes his old opponent and ally, Jens Baggesen. Baggesen’s unfortunate attraction to German language and literature is in Gr.’s opinion more than counterbalanced by his essentially Danish childlike tone, cunning and innocent at the same time, and can be conceived of as evidence of a spiritual attitude to life that may secure Baggesen a revival and a part in the future national life in Scandinavia.The second part of the paper will be published in the 1981 volume.

Aim. The purpose of the study is to establish theoretical prerequisites, identify, describe and interpret the basic psychological patterns of the dynamics of figurative creativity of future teachers of the humanities both during his/ her training in the educational environment of modern pedagogical universities and at certain stages of the didactic process. Material and methods. As the methods and tools of empirical research, the author uses the procedure of analysis of the degree of statistical validity of the differences of average values of the selected empirical indicators (t-Student's criterion), the test of figurative creativity by E.P. Torrens (modified by O.E.Tunik), a survey method, an interview method, and an expert evaluation method. The respondents were first, third, and fifth-year students specialized in «Ukrainian language and literature», «English (German) language and literature», «Ukrainian country studying» with a total of 156 people aged 18 to 30 years. The empirical basis of the study was the Faculty of Philology of the State Higher Educational Institution «Donbas State Pedagogical University». Results. It is obvious that throughout the process of growing up and gaining experience in educational and professional activities, the main specific characteristics of the creative figurative act for the representatives of the natural profile of professional training are the speed of emergence and development of creative ideas, the degree of deviation from existing prototypes, the desire to avoid a possible return to them or their modification and efforts to complete and properly design their creative product. At the same time, at the background of the previously mentioned characteristics, the dynamics of the indicator of the abstractness of the name of figurative creativity gradually recedes into the background. It means that in the process of micro-age formation of figurative creativity of the humanitarian profile subject of educational and professional activity the subject’s deep essence, not its nominal side, the outer cover, which consists in the peculiarities of verbalization of this creative process, the peculiarities of self-presentation and the presentation of the final creative product are formed. Conclusions. If we summarize the dynamics of figurative creativity of a humanitarian profile student in general, then we can depict: 1) impressive are the positive changes in this area at the end of the study, on the verge of study and professional activity, which in fact can cause such a rapid and bright dynamics; 2) particular interest is in the dynamics of creativity of humanitarian profile students at the level of such nuclear characteristics of figurative creativity as the dynamics of the creative idea, the degree of its difference from stereotypes and resistance to their emergence and motivated ability to finalize the creative product. In the future, we see promising research on the dynamics of figurative creativity of students of natural, cultural, and artistic profile and a comparative study of the dynamics of figurative creativity on the indicator of the profile of professional training in higher pedagogical education.

The purpose of this article is to explore the role of the ELP in teaching language skills to students of foreign languages, in my professional situation – to German Language and Literature students. The article attempts to answer the following questions: To what extent do the ELP and the Council of Europe documents help students of foreign languages use self-evaluation? How do these documents support learner autonomy? Due to the growing interest in the ELP, I focused my attention on the use of self-evaluation skills by college students during their writing tasks. The article presents the results of a study on self-evaluation. It was carried out among first and second year students of German Language and Literature Studies at the State Higher Education College in Włocławek in the academic years 2005/2006 and 2006/2007.
