The Reception Of Bulgarian Political Speech By Foreign Students
Absract. The article presents the conclusions of a scientific experiment conducted with foreign students at Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”. In extracurricular classes, students observe and analyze the speech of Bulgarian politicians and must prepare a scientifically based commentary on their verbal and nonverbal behavior, comparing it with the political situation (politicians and political speech) in their own countries. The object of scientific analysis in this text are the conclusions related to language aggression in public speech, the dynamics of language processes and in particular the discrepancies between the literary normative complex (which for foreign students is leading and representative) and the trends set by usus as parallel language models. Important markers accompanying political communication such as representation, speech readiness, appropriate uses, and the ability to switch language codes are also considered.
Keywords: political speech; language culture; conversational markers; dynamics of language processes

DIGITAL MEANS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING: SELECTION AND TYPOLOGIZATION
Abstract. The article is devoted to the problem associated with the use of digital means in the field of teaching foreign languages. The purpose of the article is the selection and systematization of educational digital means used in modern linguistic education, the linguodidactic potential of which most fully corresponds to the specifics of the subject “Foreign language” and the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard, as well as the identification of their typological
characteristics. The basis for identifying generalized features and linguodidactic
capabilities of various e-learning tools was the reliance on systemic and typological
approaches using methods: analysis, synthesis, comparison and generalization.
Based on the results of the study, digital teaching aids were typologized by the
functions they perform in the process of teaching foreign languages and by the
nature of these tools themselves. Each typological group included digital means that
most fully meet the requirements of standards for the quality of language educationand its results. The revealed typological characteristics of the indicated digital means are intended to simplify the teacher's choice of digital means for solving specific educational tasks and to help maximize their specific linguodidactic functions.

The Media And Objective Interpretations Of New Zealand In Slovakia
Absract.The first part of this study looks at what New Zealand and Slovakia have in common despite their great distance from each other; both countries have around five million inhabitants and cultivate a national identity closely bound to their agricultural past. The study also points out that while the Slovak–New Zealand bilateral relationship on an economic, political, or person-to-person level is certainly not that intensive, Slovaks nonetheless have particular perceptions of New Zealand. The image of New Zealand in Slovakia is a highly positive one, primarily thanks to television, the Internet, and other mass media. In its conclusion, the study examines the image and perceptions of New Zealand in Slovakia by analysing local media sources and drawing on the author’s ten years of experience as a teacher of New Zealand studies at a Slovak university. The presented picture of New Zealand is a contribution to the discussion of the popular perception of that country in Central Europe, particularly through the lens of university students, who over the years have taken classes examining New Zealand society and its institutions as a part of their broader education in British and American studies.
Keywords: New Zealand; Slovakia; media image; teaching New Zealand studies
