Социокултурният контекст в обучението по български език като чужд. Нова учебна литература
The socio-cultural context in teaching Bulgarian as a foreign language. New teaching literature

Summary/Abstract: An emphasis of the presentation is that the future of the Bulgarian language is also closely related to the study of the language as a foreign one, as well as to the open dialogue, which includes the sharing of the foreign culture. Learning language as a character system for communication and cognition must be complemented by the consistent teaching of the foreign country’s cultural code. Building skills in the students to seek a different type of “specifi c” information in the foreign language contributes to their development as professional translators and experts on the socio-cultural space of the foreign country. “Specifi c” information refers to the phraseology of a language whose absorption represents a traditional diffi culty in language learning.This is because the use of phraseological units presumes a high level of communicative competence and knowledge of the life, habits and cultural dialogue in the broadest sense of the foreign socium. The presentation covers one of the books of Bulgarian as a foreign language department’s team – “Stumbling stones in language learning”, Sofi a: Gutenberg, 2013, where special questionnaires and exercise system are developed to ease the understanding and utilization of phraseological units in the target language. The socio-cultural aspect of learning Bulgarian as a foreign language also includes the formation of language-etiquette competence, i.e. the knowledge of the polite phrases as part of the speech etiquette (Hadjieva, E. et al, “How to communicate in Bulgarian?”. Publishing House “Gutenberg”, S., 2014).
