Here is the English version of a sample autobiography of a Ukrainian scholar (the names of Ukrainian places and universities are invented in this text). Rewrite the autobiography in the form of a CV adding necessary details.

I, Kovalenko, Olena Petrivna, was born on May 16, 1969 in the village of Danyliv, Zakhidne region. My father, Klymyuk, Petro Ivanovych, and mother,] Klymyuk, Mariya Mykhailivna, are school teachers.

In 1976 I entered secondary school № 1 in Danyliv. I graduated from the school with the Gold Medal in 1986 and entered the Department of History of the Ukrainian Humanitarian University in the city of Zakhidne. In 1991 I graduated from the University with the Diploma of Higher Education with Highest Honors. My diploma paper "History of Ukrainian-Polish relations" received the award of the Ministry of Education of Ukraine.

From September 1991 until June 2001 I worked as a junior researcher at the Ukrainian Institute of Historical Research in Zakhidne. I also worked part-time as a teacher of history at Zakhidne secondary school № 15 from September 1991 until June 1994. In 1997 I participated in the U.S.-Ukrainian I academic exchange program and spent three months at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In September 2000 I defended the dissertation entitled "Current ethnopolitical situation in Ukraine" and received a Kandydat Nauk degree.

Since September 2001 I have been working as a lecturer of the Department of History, Ukrainian Humanitarian University (Zakhidne). I am currently teaching such courses as "Medieval history," "Ethnographic methods in historical research," and "Methodology of teaching history." My current research interests focus on ethnic conflicts and oral history. I am the author of six papers published in leading Ukrainian journals, and I participated in three national and two international conferences (see the enclosed list of publications). I am a member of the Society of Ukrainian historians.

In 1994 I got married. My husband, Kovalenko, Pavlo Ivanovych, works at the Zakhidne State Archive. My son, Kovalenko, Nazar, was born in 1995.

Bio-data

Bio-data statements usually accompany published work and grant applications. As a rule, they are fairly short (of approximately 50 words) and normally include the following information:

• education;

• work experience;

• relevant qualifications and achievements.

Here is a bio-data statement of the student whose CV is given above.

A Sample Bio-data Statement

Ivan Markiv received his Diploma of Specialist with Highest Honors in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science from the Ivan Franko National University of L'viv in 2001. He is a graduate student of the doctoral program in Applied Mathematics at this University. His research interests focus on numerical methods, in particular, on application of numerical methods to contact problems of mechanics.

The organization of bio-data statements and the types of information they include, may, however, vary in different situations and fields.

Read and compare the bio-data statements of three international scholars. What information does each of them include? How do they differ from each other?

A) Martin Stolz is a Professor of Linguistics at the University of Freiburg, where he teaches courses on stylistics, discourse analysis, and language education. Prof. Stolz conducts research on literary language and the use of literature in teaching foreign languages. His recent publications on these and other topics appeared in the Zeischrift für Anglistik und Amerikanistik, Journal of Literary Semantics, Linguistics and Education, and various edited books.

Dr. Vvedenskiy received his Kandidat Nauk and Doktor Nauk degrees from the Moscow State University. The focus of his research has been on the application of computer-based technologies to teaching mathematics and physics. Prof. Vvedenskiy has directed several science education projects under the auspices of the International Renaissance Foundation. In 1997, he received the Soros Award. Prof. Vvedenskiy has, most recently, been developing the software that will enable learners to better understand the nature of physical processes. He is also the founder and executive editor of the Obrazovatel'nyje Tekhnologii journal.

C) Maria Santos received her M.A. in linguistic anthropology from the University of Florida (1993), where she was a participant in the Indigenous Language Materials Project.
