Abstract The growing number of foreign applicants looking forward to getting education in Ukrainian medical universities makes us find the ways how to improve and make effective the pre-professional training system of foreign medical applicants for further education. The article deals with the issues of the history of formation and development of the preprofessional training system of foreign medical applicants in Ukraine. On the ground of the electronic databases of the official websites of higher educational establishments, the data on years of opening first offices of the dean, departments and preparatory faculties for foreign medical applicants in Ukrainian medical universities are analyzed and systematized. Also the data on the setting up preparatory faculties at other universities who carry out licensed training of foreign students of the medical profile are presented. The data on the operating and management of such institutions in the system of the University administration are generalized. It’s revealed that during the years of its functioning the pre-professional training has changed, in particular the system was commercialized and the institutions involved in training foreign applicants have been reorganized. The modern trends in teaching foreign medical students at the preparatory faculties of the Ukrainian medical universities are displayed. Based on the analysis of the data it is concluded that the system of the pre-professional training of foreign medical applicants was set up in the 50s-60s years of the twentieth century.

The article is devoted to the description and analysis of factors that potentially and actually affect the socio-economic development of the state on the example of the higher education institution. It is established that at the system level the level of ensuring the quality of educational activities and the quality of higher education has a decisive influence on the formation of a positive image of a higher education institution. The results of a survey of students on the criteria for choosing a university to study are presented. Statistics on public funding of education in general and higher education in particular are presented and analyzed. It is established that, despite the formally high percentage of education funding from the level of GDP in absolute terms, the actual funding is low and needs to be strengthened by attracting external funding from customers. Attention is also paid to the state of development of educational services for foreign students. In a competitive environment at the national and international level, the decisive influence on the involvement of foreign students in the university is influenced by the structure of the training program, teacher qualifications, organization of the educational process in the classroom and so on. The article on the example of a higher education institution presents the main stages of formation and development of the internal system of quality assurance of education as an object of influence on the socio-economic development of the state. The development and/or improvement of internal quality assurance systems in universities is becoming a powerful basis for increasing university funding from external (personally involved) sources, reducing the outflow of applicants abroad and the successful provision of educational services to foreign students. At this stage, given the limited opportunities for funding of educational activities by the state (compared to EU countries), the successful implementation of the university development strategy is possible provided that systematic work is done to improve the quality of educational services for domestic and foreign citizens. As part of further research, it is planned to analyze the mutual impact of the education quality assurance system on the effectiveness of scientific activities, the provision of additional paid educational services, training for external customers and other sources.

The main purpose of foreign university students during studying Bulgarian is reaching a level of communicative abilities, i.e. using the language successfully in different settings and situations. Achieving this purpose requires the use of effective teaching methods and teaching techniques which rely not only on the language skills of the university students, but also on their general knowledge of the world and knowledge in the area of human interactions.This article explores the possibility to include narrative texts from the modern Bulgarian literature in the teaching process as a tool to educate the students during the early stage of studying Bulgarian. Meeting certain narrative texts or abstracts from different genres is what helps the students feel emotionally and socially closer to the Bulgarian language. This creates a specific emotional atmosphere during improving one's skills in a foreign language and helps in the process of “discovering” the Bulgarian culture. This activates the thought pattern of understanding the basic and unavoidable cultural differences but also cultural similarities and also motivates the students from other countries to improve their language skills.The authors of this article share their experience: choosing a narrative text, preparing such texts from their successful use in the classroom, using certain techniques and interactive means for adequate understanding of such texts by foreign students. The results are also described, as far as learning and managing lexical material, syntax structures and intonation details in Bulgarian is concerned.We analyze our work with the short story “From Wednesday to Monday” by Maria Doneva, which aims to “provoke” the active language perception of the students (including both grammar and reading comprehension skills in learning the days of the week and improving the use of past tense).The second narrative included in the article is “A smaller bedtime story” by Ludmil Stanev is presented to the students in the form of role-playing reading. This happens during a national holiday of the Bulgarian alphabet.

Since the global economic recession in 2008, Chinese undergraduate students have quickly risen to be the largest international student population in American colleges and universities, forming a monoethnic group that often isolates itself from domestic students on campuses. This study explores how twelve Chinese undergraduate students utilized on-campus employment as a means of engaging host nationals to improve language skills and engage in cross-cultural interactions. Thematic analysis affirms the efficacy of the university workplace as an educational space outside of the classroom. Based on these findings, various policy recommendations are proposed to improve the management of international student employees.
