The peer review method is one of the problem learning methods. Its essence lies in the mutual study of each other’s written works by students in order to comment and evaluate them for further revision. Like any teaching method, the peer review method has linguodidactic properties – characteristics that underlie it, essential for the methods of teaching foreign languages and distin-guishing this method from others. Also, the method of peer review has specific linguodidactic functions – an external manifestation of the linguodidactic properties of the teaching method, which show what educational and cognitive tasks are solved by using this method in practice in foreign language teaching. Based on the analysis of the literature, the following linguodidactic functions of this method are identified: a) the development of student mentoring in teaching; b) sharing of responsibility by students for mastering the educational material; c) the use of blended learning in the implementation of the peer review method; d) changing the role of a teacher from a “bearer of knowledge” to a moderator of educational and cognitive activities of students; e) changing the ratio between classroom and extracurricular educational and cognitive activities of students; f) reduction of the terms of checking students’ training written works. The work describes in detail each of the selected functions.

The article represents an effort to specify the essential characteristics of the relationship between the intentionality of consciousness, language and culture, and on this basis to reveal the features of the process of foreign language teaching.The author considers intentionality as a phenomenon that defines and provides the content of consciousness, allowing one to commit an act of self-determination and gaining subjectivity. In the activity of consciousness, the author distinguishes intentional flows of both relatively objects and subjects, which is a prerequisite for comprehending another I, a different cultural entity, and at the same time a condition for self-knowledge and deeper penetration into one’s own culture.Culture is a complex semiotic text, it is a context in which the language being studied as a secondary modeling system acts as a means where various phenomena can be sequentially described and interpreted by students.The openness of the subject to the world, nurtured in the course of intentional teaching of language and culture, allows its utter uniqueness, and at the same time utmost universality, to manifest itself. Such an attitude actualizes the internal regularity of human actions, the possibility of self-development and the formation of a system of deferred actions, which allows a person to realize, take place, actualizes the intentional field of his capabilities.The author comes to the conclusion that the process of foreign language teaching should be interpretative, significative, semiotic in nature. Taking into account during teaching а foreign language the intentional conditioning of any action, including speech, will ensure the achievement of a coordinated consciousness.

The focus of this article is on the integral unity of language and culture, which predetermined the evolution of the person speaking . An appeal to the ancient holistic methodology revealed the trinity of psychological intention and speech itself in the correlation with cultural values. Consequently, teaching a foreign language, focused on active communication with native speakers, is also an object of polyparadigmatic research, which should precede the development of new teaching technologies. The undertaken consideration made it possible to single out a synergetic approach as combining the teaching of a foreign language, culture and the way of beingness formed on their basis with a personal need for self-development and self-realization.

Numerous works have been devoted to the training of foreign students of this profile, which have proven the existence of features of engineering thinking and perception of information. It was assumed that these features of thinking, the cognitive features of future engineers are formed under the influence of the specifics of vocational training, including reading engineering texts, since the texts of an engineering profile have a special structure. Reading as a type of speech activity plays a key role in the acquisition of knowledge by future engineers, since reading specialty texts is the main source of information for students.

e 21st century debate on the role of humanities in the contemporary world and the necessity to teach a wide range of disciplines (among which literature, culture, aesthetics, philosophy and others) has caused serious tension among humanity scholars. In many developed countries the presence of humanities in the educational priorites has shrinked substantially. In the present paper I will discuss the interconnection and interdependence of language and culture education with concrete examples from the Bulgarian school of Eastern Studies in order to rethink Aristotle’s legacy – “Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all”. The current paper introduces the concept of “conscious education” as a key factor for the development of 21st century foreign language and culture education. Conscious education is based on an analysis of the needs and aims and strives to build mutual awareness within all parties involved in the education process to make learners adaptive and adequate to the surrounding environment. The theories of A. Maslow, Ch. Darwin, M. Gladwell, K. Ishikawa are brought together and through analysis of the current state of the Japanese Studies in Bulgaria, I try to raise important questions about the role of foreign language education in 21st century. I contribute to the dispute by reporting results from current projects conducted by the Japanese Studies at Sofia University, which I believe relate to a much wider audience, involved in the education of young people nowadays.

Numerous criticism directed at the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis called forth the viewing of the hypothesis through the prism of language and culture interconnection and check to what extent the linguistic determinism is an applicable and useful tool in foreign language studies. For this reason, the present paper carries out a discussion to construct a somewhat modified version of the linguistic determinism idea by adding to the language–culture unit a third element such as expressiveness. To make the proposed here version of linguistic determinism comprehensible, it has been decided to describe and explain the notions of language, culture, and expressiveness to make them clear and digestible for the purpose of the present discussion. In the course of the discussion, strengthened by quotations from the literature, the main stress is put on the language-culture interconnectedness viewed as the key element determining successful language studies, especially in the foreign languages domain. Finally, the attention is directed at the role of creativity and expressiveness as factors responsible for the level of the language user’s competence, which, in turn, is viewed as creative communicative competence.
