Language competence, based on the alphabet and writing of the community one belongs to, is the “key“ to the personal and social growth of a child. Mastering reading and writing is a complex process for all students but it is most difficult for first-graders, learning the official Bulgarian language as a second language, particularly Roma children. It is assumed that a satisfactory formed orthoepic competence (Beginners’level) during the literacy development process is the fundamental tool for successful “entry“ into the Bulgarian alphabet and writing. Within the outlined theoretical context, an analysis of a survey among primary teachers has been made, aiming to highlight the importance of the problem and to make well-founded recommendations for improving the educational process in the particular pedagogical and linguistic situations.

This article is devoted to the question of gender stereotypes formation among elder pupils. Are there any definite social roles of men and women at the modern society? Are young people ready to follow these set patterns? These very questions are the basis in this research and give the possibility to find out the beginning of social stereotypes formation among youth. On the base of the modern concept of gender theory and the principles of postmodernism we try to study the processes that take place at the postpuberal phase, at the period when new age identity such as youth is being formed. The results of the study give the possibility to retrace the process of gender roles formation and to find out their importance for the respondents: whether they are satisfied and agree with the existing stereotypes in the society or not.

The article is focused on the process of soft skills formation in the participants of the International Qualification School "Modern Pedagogical Technologies in Teaching Russian as a Foreign Language", held annually in Varna (Republic of Bulgaria) for future teachers of Russian language– students from different universities of Europe and Asia. The authors show that soft skills are developed in students of the School during the process of collective preparation of various projects: developing and conducting an excursion, writing a prospectus for a Russian language textbook, creating an educational video, etc. These collective forms of work presuppose self-organisation of students: their ability to find a common language with group members, the promotion of a leader, the ability to work in a team, jointly planning actions and implementing these plans, respecting and supporting each other.

Introduction. The article is devoted to solving a significant problem of preserving national culture and mentality in harmonious interaction with other cultures in the era of globalization. The purpose of the research is to reveal and theoretically substantiate the main directions of developing students’ ethno-cultural competence within the context of globalization. Materials and Methods. Conceptually developing ethno-cultural competence most effectively takes place within the humanistic paradigm of education, taking into account such psychological and pedagogical methods as systemic, competence, axiological, comparative and principles of cultural conformity of educational systems, creative, synchronic and diachronic pedagogical, personal-didactic, and multicultural. Results. The article reveals the author's understanding of developing students’ ethno-cultural competence in the context of globalization. It is proved that developing ethno-cultural competence is carried out in the interaction of three components which make up a single psychological and pedagogical system: socio-economic, cultural and life experience of the ethnos in its historical development and modern state (socialization of the individual); formal educational process (teaching and educating) and independent intellectual-cognitive and practical activities (self-development and self-education). There should be recognized such levels of ethno-cultural competence as cognitive, behavioral and affective which are represented in worldview, activity, behavior and verbal communication. The first component in this triad is almost spontaneous or slightly systematized, but the second and third ones are interconnected by a single strategy of action, and self-education and development are largely dependent on the psychological and pedagogical support of students. Сonclusions. The study has shown that the process of developing learners’ ethno-cultural competence in the context of globalization is carried out efficiently, provided that the material related to regional and ethnic cultural characteristics is incorporated into various subjects and disciplines, and an integrated approach to designing educational process is implemented, which takes into account the ethnic identity and ideology of the multicultural paradigm while solving teaching objectives, educational and ideological tasks.
