English Through Literature is an elective course based on a selection of contemporary literary texts to be discussed in class. It offers first-year students the chance to overcome inhibitions about speaking in English, and to learn to express ideas and develop arguments more confidently and more competently. It will encourage them to ask themselves more questions as they read, and to read on a greater number of levels. It will also help them to expand and vary their general vocabulary, and will introduce them to the basic vocabulary we need when we talk about literary texts – about the way we make sense of them, respond to them, and evaluate them.

The focus of the third-year elective course is to familiarize students with popular culture forms and practices typical of the British context. Seminar discussions centre on a variety of non-fiction texts and audiovisual material exploring theories of popular culture and its relationship with folk and high culture, popular culture forms as national identity building blocks, the taxonomy of popular culture studied via graffiti and rock ‘n’ roll, women’s and men’s magazines as popular discourses of pleasure and leisure, soap operas, tabloid newspapers, and the royal family as popular culture commodities, to name but a few. Another prime course objective is to help students further polish their verbal and critical thinking skills necessary for confidently developing arguments and summarizing the main points when listening or reading for gist. Assessment will be via written assignments and oral presentations done during the semester and a final term paper.

Курсът Английска фразеология има за цел да запознае студентите с различните фразеологични единици в английски език, като се започне от фразеологизмите с най-ниска степен на идиоматичност, phraseological combinations (по класификацията на Виноградов), през тези, които показват по-висока степен на идиоматичност (phraseological unities) и се стигне до същинските идиоми (phraseological fusions). Анализират се тези три вида фразеологизми както от структурна, така и от семантична гледна точка. Езиковият материал, който се разглежда включва текстове от различни дискурси, като се набляга на политическия дискурс. Освен това се търси и концептуалната мотивация на фразеологичните единици там, където е уместно.

The course develops students’ basic presentation skills: choosing a topic, researching it, organizing the information in a logical sequence, avoiding stage fright, using visuals and other props to support the presentation, poster presentations and PowerPoint presentations. Students are expected to take active part in the class discussions and activities, to reflect on and learn from their presentation experience, as well as to evaluate others’ presentations and give feedback to their peers. They work individually and in groups in order to prepare their oral presentations. At the end of the course, students are expected to be able to choose, research and present a topic with confidence. Regular attendance is required. Evaluation is based on class participation, a portfolio of written assignments and two oral presentations.

Курсът цели да запознае студентите с еволюцията на жанровете на ужаса в британската художествена проза. Той предлага ключови знания за основните класически фигури на жанра от XVIII – началото на XIX век (Хоръс Уолпол, Ан Радклиф, Чарлз Матюрин, Мери Шели и др.), за основните им произведения, а така също и за кокретния им принос откъм тематика и стил за разгръщането на жанра донаши дни. Проследява се също така разпространението на готиката в други романни форми, трансформацията й в неоготиката към края на XIX век и трайното й установяване във формата на романа на ужаса (хорър-романа) през XX и XXI век. Осветление получават и връзките на британския готически роман с аналогичните традиции във френската и немската литература. Курсът дава и уводни знания в областта на теорията на художествения хорър и не изпуска от око хибридизацията на готическия жанр с детективския и научно-фантастичния.

The course offers a comparison between the traditional view of loanwords as 'foreign words' and an alternative, cognitive, approach, developed by the lecturer, which recognizes the active role of the borrowing language itself. According to the former view, after entering the receptor language, foreign words are simply subjected to adaptation on all linguistic levels. The cognitive approach, on the other hand, regards loanwords as copies, i.e. new words created by the borrowing language itself, through active imitation of the respective foreign source-words. It achieves this with its own structural (phonological, graphemic and morphological) resources. The lexical copies created in this way carry over only some of the meanings of their respective etymons and have the potential for independent lexical development. Thus, the cognitive treatment of the phenomenon of lexical borrowing provides a consistent general explanation of the various types and degrees of structural and semantic deviation of loanwords (e.g. anglicisms) from their etymons in the source language (e.g. English). These developments are richly illustrated with examples of the lexical impact of English on Bulgarian (traditionally known as English loanwords in Bulgarian).

This survey course provides an introduction to the complex cultural and socio-political mosaic of Canada. Emphasis is laid on Canadian geo-political structure, colonial and contemporary history, multilayered diversity and society-building processes, intergroup dynamics, multiculturalism and community policies, practices of bilingualism.
During the course students read and critically discuss a variety of non-fiction texts concerning the history, political system and socio-cultural practices of Canada and its people. In this way students develop skills of selecting, contrasting and analyzing empirical evidence with the aim of shaping their communicative behavior and increasing their intercultural knowledge.
The overall course achievement is evaluated through one course assignment during the semester, participation in class discussions, a mid-term/final quiz and a project.

The aim of this course is to introduce students to James Joyce's pivotal 1922 novel Ulysses; a work which is notorious for its difficulty and is, as a result, declared "unreadable" by many. Ulysses is very challenging, and takes a very long time to complete; however, with a careful analytical approach, (including an exposure to outside materials, including music, maps and video), the majority of the novel can be readily and comprehensively, understood. This course is exclusively devoted to Ulysses: the easier sections in the first half of the novel being the focus of study. "Penelope", (Molly Bloom's lengthy soliloquy delivered by at the close of the novel), a single chapter void of all punctuation, will also receive a large amount of attention. The course will consist largely of lectures, interspersed with occasional multimedia recordings. The novel will be analysed through the use of canonical academic annotation guides and accessible secondary sources including maps of Dublin, and DVD recordings of the two film adaptations. Students will be evaluated through the writing of two essays: both chosen from a list of given questions, and submitted at the end of the semester.

Курсът има за цел да покаже връзките между съвременната езиковедска практика и компютърните технологии. Ще потърсим гледната точка на филолога към широко използваните електронни корпуси, както и към говорещите и четящите компютри, аватарите, компютърните „преводачи“, електронните речници и др.
Тъй като всички компютърни езикови технологии се основават на езиковедски принципи, студентите ще могат да използват натрупаните филологически познания, като ги преосмислят с оглед на тяхната значимост в електронната комуникация.

Spoken language does not work like written language and must be studied in its own right. Spoken language was primary by many tens of thousands of years in human history and, until quite recently, the majority of human beings have not used a written language at all. Today, spoken language is still primary for several important years during first language acquisition. The struggles of many children in learning to read—as compared with the relative ease with which they learn to speak—attests to the "unnaturalness" of written language. Yet, it is extremely difficult not to find Spontaneous Spoken Language erratic and deficient. It is the emergence of writing that profoundly influenced the way we think about language.
The course offers a systematic comparison between structures in written and spoken English. Many constructions occur only or mainly in the spoken variety, others only in writing, but not in both. Familiarity with some spoken genres opens up a whole new world of English.

Globalization has opened up countless opportunities for intercultural contacts across the globe, but has also given rise to various problems in communicating with people from different cultural backgrounds. The Intercultural Communication course provides an introduction to language and intercultural communication: globalization, communication, and miscommunication across cultures; cultural differences; different face systems; politeness; verbal and non-verbal communication; stereotypes; culture shock; the use of English as an international language. Students are expected to participate actively in discussions, to find and share examples illustrating the topics discussed, and to conduct independent research on a topic of their choice. Evaluation is based on a portfolio of written assignments, an oral presentation and a term paper.

The aim of the course is to familiarise students with the lingustic and cultural diversity characteristic of contemporary Scotland, presented against the background of Scotland’s rich cultural, historical and linguistic heritage. While the approach is predominantly synchronic, present-day developments are placed in an appropriate historical and socio-cultural perspective.
Our main focus is on issues relating to the languages spoken in Scotland today. We will be particularly interested in the similarities and differences between Scottish Standard English and Modern Scots, as manifested in contemporary speech ranging from standard to colloquial language use. Accent variation constitutes another major topic of discussion. Throughout the course, we will listen to and watch a variety of audio and video materials, and analyze recordings both in class and as assignments contributing to continuous assessment.

The course focuses on the historical and genre development of Canadian literature, discussing some of the most prominent writers in Canada today – Margaret Atwood, Michael Ondaatje, Alice Munroe, Thomas King among others. The topics include indigenous writing, regional writing, women writing, multiethnic writing in a variety of genres - autobiography, poetry, drama, short fiction and the novel. In addition the developments specific to Canadian literature and culture are projected against American and British cultures, which enhances students’ understanding of Canadian culture and provides a broader perspective for understanding the processes of creation in Canadian literature, as well as of identity-formation and nation-building in an era of globalization and multiethnicity. The course also gives an opportunity to the students to become part of the larger network of Canadian Studies and apply for scholarships and grants from the International Council for Canadian Studies and the Central European Association for Canadian Studies.

This course presents an overview of Australian Culture and Cultural Identity for beginners to this, what some would say, exotic part of the world. The story evolves from its earliest beginnings with the commencement of British colonization in 1788 until the present day. Topics to be covered include a sketch of Australian history, influences of Aboriginal culture and language, Australians' relationship with nature and the natural environment, urban verses rural identity, immigration and the Australian identity and finally the contemporary influence of Australia on the world at large in areas such as cinema and music. An overview of lexical and grammatical differences between Australian English and and those of British and American English is also given.

The course is premised on the assumption that creativity is not an unteachable God-given gift. Instead, it is an important dimension of our work with language, and in this sense translation in all its guises is a creative activity. I believe that creative writing could develop a set of skills that will prove crucial to a translator or an interpreter. Most noteworthy among them are the following:
• awareness of different genres and registers
• recognition of the figurative dimension of language
• ability to “translate” the culture-specific aspects of a text
• awareness of the subtle borderline between the translatable and the untranslatable
The course will be activity-oriented. A limited range of theory will be introduced in the course of the discussion of particular texts written by the students. Here are a few of the activities we envisage:
• (re)writing fictional/non-fictional texts in different genres
• manipulating the register(s) of a text
• building up an atmosphere
• parodying texts
• (re)writing texts from different perspectives
The course will be student-centered, which means that the teacher’s role will be confined to moderating the students’ discussions and pronouncing verdicts that will be open to criticism.
Importantly, both teacher and students will be expected to write reviews of the work produced in the course.

The course provides an upper-level introduction to various critical approaches to the study of contemporary American popular culture. We will analyze how such important factors as ethnicity, gender, class, age, region, and sexuality in American multicultural society are shaped by and reflected in popular culture. The principal approach will be one of textual analysis, focusing on how specific popular culture products make their meanings. However, the overpowering transformation of postmodern culture from a text-centered to an image-centered one requires also the analysis of visual forms of popular culture as represented in women’s and men’s life-style magazines, popular music and MTV culture, Hollywood movie industry, the genres of soap opera and the western, the new industry of the “entertaining real” (reality TV), and others. Special attention will be paid on current processes of globalization and Americanization in/ through the consumption of popular culture.

Курсът цели да запознае студентите, в превод и разговор, с най-новите и интересни думи и изрази, образувани и използвани активно в говоримия език на образованите англичани, и които придават неповторим колорит и образност на тяхната реч.
Тези думи и изрази са много интересни производни от чужди заемки, причудливи комбинации от чужди и местни думи или традиционно островно мислене, облечено в new Open Europe and Cyber age glad rags.
Нещата ще бъдат представяни в занимателен story context.
