All participants in the training process take the approaches, the techniques and the forms through which the open synergetic educational environment is organized and are satisfied with the acquired knowledge when completing the education under the Bulgarian-mathematics-foreign language.

The health crisis caused by the SARS-Cov-2 virus has severely affected the pre-university education system in Romania. In an attempt to resolve this situation, it was decided to move education from the form of learning through physical presence in the classroom to the form of online learning. How effective this way oflearning has been, as well as the possibility of it being a long-term option, is a task that most researchers in this field must carry out. Therefore, in this paper we consider that a critical analysis of the situation of online preuniversity education in Romania is necessary, an analysis that involves highlighting the benefits and disadvantagesthat it entails. The paper is part of educational research studies, being of particular need, given that online education is a current challenge and there are few studies in this field.

Models of good practice in implementing voluteer activities by non-formal education

Author(s): Valentin Cosmin Blândul / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2021

In many countries in the European Union, but also outside it, volunteering is one of the most important activities, being practiced by a growing number of people. The motivation to get involved in volunteer activities is extremely diverse and includes arguments related to the need to know other people, to gain experience in a certain field, to solve a problem facing the community or even the person concerned, to spend their free time in a useful, pleasant and even fun way, etc. Unfortunately, in Romania the subject of volunteering is quite little addressed, and a relatively small number of people are really involved in this phenomenon. The explanations could come, on the one hand, from the communist history of the country, in which volunteering was associated with"patriotic work", and this with the obligatory debt to the ruling party, and on the other hand, from the current modest economic situation of Romania, the preoccupation of many people being oriented towards the activities that bring financial income and less towards the charitable acts. However, generational exchange could bring young people to understand that money is important, but not an end in itself, and voluntary involvement in an activity can bring much more consistent benefits in the medium and long term. Therefore, in this study, we will analyze some of the most important volunteer activities through which students and their teachers can get involved in the development of the communities in which they live.

Language Transfer and Problems of Teaching Bulgarian for Slav Students

Author(s): Nadezhda Stalyanova,Elena Krejčová / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2022

The text presents the problems of studying Bulgarian as a second language by Slavs with an emphasis on the specifics of foreign language teaching in a Slavic environment. The study presents a theoretical view of the language contacts, transfer and interference in the context of second language acquisition. We pay special attention to the issues of mutual linguistic influences and the genetic closeness between languages ​​through the prism of their acquisition. The influence of the first language on the acquisition and later on the use of the second language can be positive, negative and even zero influence. The positive influence is manifested in the fact that the practical and theoretical knowledge of the first language, language habits and skills support the process of learning a new language and its use as a tool for communication. The positive transfer can be specified according to various criteria: e.g. can be divided into conscious and spontaneous, direct and transformed, etc. Negative influence is manifested at all language levels through the so-called negative transfer or interference – these are the errors that occur due to the influence of the first language on the second and which bear the signs of the first language. We also present opposite views that the linguistic transfer on the one hand can greatly facilitate the acquisition of a second Slavic language, but also the view that closeness between languages ​​can lead to excessive linguistic interference.

The mistakes made by students indicate a lack of ability to build complex syntactic structures and use words that do not carry the main informative load. The results indicate that the limitation of the total time of using the EI from 30 min. up to 1.5-2 hours a day does not have a negative effect on the formation of general vocabulary and executive functions, while the child's failure to comply with the family's time limits for using electronic devices outside of school affects the development of cognitive functions in general. The use of EI by parents for more than 2 hours a day can have a negative impact on the formation of the main structural components of speech and cognitive activity. Reading books and a child's hobbies in their free time can have a positive impact on the formation of a holistic, multi-level speech activity.
