Non-linguistic Factors in Classroom Foreign Language Performance

Author(s): Marya Tsvetkova / Language(s): English Issue: 6/2019

Applied linguistics has come under the sway of two seemingly antithetic views – one prioritizing the social, the other – bringing to the fore the individual dimension. The present paper is aimed at revisiting foreign language evaluation from a dialectical perspective which allows for providing insights into the role of affective factors. It reports on a socially-situated investigation of language performance that accounts for students’ motivation and anxiety conceived of here as symbolic resources. A total of 50 high-school learners of English filled in R. Gardner’s Attitude / Motivation Test Battery (AMTB) at two points in time and participated in a quasi-experimental study. A pre-test – post-test control group design was employed. The findings furnish evidence of the significant effect of increasing L2 motivation and alleviating anxiety on classroom L2 achievement.

Изучаването на чужди езици през Възраждането

Author(s): Maria Mitskova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2019

The article provides a historical point of view on foreign language teaching and learning in Bulgaria while analyzing certain opinions and conceptions of Bulgarian publishers, writers and teachers regarding this topic, discovered in the prefaces of several books published from 1830’s to 1870’s. The question of foreign language education during the Bulgarian Revival period is connected not only to the need of intercultural communication within the framework of the multilingual Ottoman Empire as well in the European context, but it also contributes to the development of the Bulgarian linguistic thought during that era. At the same time, the foundation concepts of language intellectualization and internationalization being two of the major goals of the Bulgarian standard language construction process are strongly related to the basic ideas of standardization, cultivation and high prestige of the literary language still in a stage of shaping.

Щрихи от историята на българския Златен век: преводната литература в контекста на духовното присъединяване към византийската общност

Author(s): Yavor Miltenov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2019

Bulgarian Golden Age is, on the one hand, a time of territorial expansion and significant presence on the political map of Europe; on the other hand, it is the period of the first major peaks in Slavic literature, and, probably, in arts and architecture. At its core, the Golden Age is joining the spirituality and mentality of the Byzantine world and adoption of the achievements of its centuries-old philosophical tradition. The Byzantine models in literature were borrowed by using two co-existing principles: copying and adaptation. The former might be observed in most of the works intended for non-liturgical individual or monastic reading, which were translated in full. The latter is found in miscellanies compiled from partial translations and excerpts, or in Old Bulgarian translations that were abridged, edited, or reworked. The article aims at examining the most important examples of such adaptation and its features, pointing out the role of the aristocracy and the ruler himself in guiding these processes.

Бележки върху колективната жертва/курбан

Author(s): Angel Angelov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2019

In the religious practices of the population in the Bulgarian lands, kurban is an instrument for expressing gratitude towards God for His support during times of hardship, illnesses, and ordeals. It is constantly present in ceremonial practices from time immemorial. However, as every other aspect of human life, it is subject to change. The alterations in religious beliefs lead to variations in the ritual itself and the nature of the sacrifice. Nevertheless, more detailed analysis shows that modern kurban represents a peculiar mixture of ancient traditions and newer religious customs. Furthermore, Christian and Islamic theologies are not always dominant in ceremonial practices. The influence of pagan cults is felt particularly strongly in the mountainous and semi-mountainous regions, where the role of the religious institutions is markedly weaker.
