Focus projection as a means of improving fluency: Practical tasks reflecting a teacher’s theoretical beliefs about an intonational phenomenon
The intonational phenomenon of focus projection has received extensive attention in the literature, both from a theoretical and empirical point of view. In Dimitrov (2023a), I argue that focus projection can be applied in the process of teaching. In this paper, I offer a model based on my beliefs about focus projection that can be used for the generation of practical tasks whose aim is improving learners’ fluency. Keywords: focus projection, flue…
Linguistic effect of focus projection in the ESP classroom: Some pedagogical implications
Placing emphasis on words, which in turn spread this emphasis to the preceding word, is a phenomenon typical of English. This is technically known as focus projection, or projection. Since projection as defined above is realised in and through speaking, the relation between projection and speaking is studied in the context of ESP. Due to the lack of enough practice, speaking appears to constitute a challenge for most ESP students. Although practi…
The Race to EU Membership: Does the Acceleration Matter
In 2020, the European Commission proposed a new framework of the EU’s enlargement policy, justified by the deficiencies of the Bulgarian and Romanian EU membership. This article provides empirical evidence from the accession negotiation process that Bulgaria and Romania didn’t belong to a common group, separated from the other post-communist societies, which joined the EU in 2004. Our analysis identified several patterns of accession, distinguish…
Bulgarian Society at the Turn of the 21st Century – a Cognitive Challenge: 30 Years after the Collapse of Communism
The goal of this introduction is to outline the general thematic and interpretative scene wherein the next eight authors will elaborate in greater depth on more concrete issues. That is why this text mostly aims to review and rethink the achievements and problems of the local understanding of Bulgarian society in the last decades
Bulgaria and Romania, twin Cinderellas in the European Union: How they contributed in a peculiar way to the change in EU policy for the promotion of democracy and rule of law
This article provides a test for the relevance of the major conceptual framework used in Europeanization literature on EU political conditionality for promoting effective democracy and rule of law (RoL). It highlights a major enlargement policy problem which should challenge the basic assumption of this academic tradition. The main focus is on the Bulgarian-Romanian case which illuminates much broader processes in Central and Eastern European cou…
How and Why Did the Laggards Turn Out to Be the Forerunners of a Major Transformation in the EU’s Integration Strategy: Bulgaria and Romania’s Peculiar Role in Redefining the EU Integration Strategy
For nearly a decade Bulgaria and Romania were considered the laggards of the Fifth EU Enlargement. They seemed unable to cope with the timing of their Europeanisation and, hence, the support they got from the EU was a mere continuation of the pre-accession conditionality in the form of post-accession monitoring, obscurely named “Cooperation and Verification Mechanism” ( cvm ). This paper presents some sound empirical evidence to prove that the cv…

Citizenship education as an instrument for strengthening the state's supremacy: An Apparent Paradox
This paper focuses on the overt and tacit role of the state and other stakeholders in defining objectives, concepts and approaches to citizenship education. It suggests a new approach for understanding citizenship education based on the assumption that trans-rational dimensions of human existence – interests, institutional culture, and traditions – are not just external environment, influenced by citizenship education, but they are imbedded in it…
