The paper reflects on the issue of the educational process, in which it is necessary to apply such teaching methods that will arouse students' interest in learning and acquiring new knowledge. The principles of communication in teaching Slovak as a foreign language should also be placed in the given context aiming to develop students' communication competence. The paper also seeks to justify that, while teaching Slovak as a foreign language, the balance of the individual components (language – communication – culture) needs to be ensured, while the latter is not always given due attention. This unfavourable phenomenon can be eliminated by (out-of)school activities through project teaching, which encourages students to actively participate in the teaching process and enriches their knowledge of culture.

Foreign language teaching to medical students depends on solving various institutional problems. In this sense, its effectiveness is a variable which influences the level of education at the university. Effectiveness of academic education depends on two groups of conditions- one is the purely material aspect- the place and conditions in which education takes place, the financial resources and the second one includes the psychoemotional aspect of training- the so-called didactic costs which include the physical and emotional efforts invested in the process of training both on the side of the lecturer and student. One of the ways to improve effectiveness is by restricting didactic costs- the less the psychoemotional tension and anxiety- the better results would a student achieve. Giving the student the opportunity to “manage his/her own manner of learning” and placing the student in the centre of the educational process would inevitably lead to increasing student motivation.Another mechanism to achieve effectiveness and quality of education is through activating the inner motivation of students to learn a foreign language. The latter is influenced by factors such as concentration, attention, a feeling of complete participation in the process of training, lack of fear of failure, assuming responsibility for the achieved results etc. A new aspect of contemporary learning success is differentiation in education, introduction of the individual, personal style of learning of each student. An appropriate instrument or tool in achieving motivation is for the learning process to follow and conform to the different learning styles of students. The individual learning style implies the individual preferences in perceiving and memorizing information. The aim of the present paper is to identify these styles in students from the Medical University – Plovdiv and thus to identify their satisfaction with foreign language learning. The survey was conducted in 2017 among 140 students from 16 countries. A written questionnaire and a psychological test were used to gather the data. Determinants for satisfaction were identifies as: the material setting and technological equipment, personal characteristics of the teacher and the microclimate in the student group. An adapted LSI (Learning Style Inventory) specifically adapted for Bulgaria which includes four types of approaches to the learning process- specific experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization and active experimentation was used. The results are distributed according to gender, specialty, year of studies and Kolb’s learning styles- divergent, assimilative, convergent and accommodative. The leading learning style according to our survey proves to be the convergent on with women having higher values (32,14%) than men (24,28%), next comes the assimilative learning style with men having higher value (17,14%) as opposed to women (14,28%). The accommodative is next – 5% of women and 3.57% men prefer this learning style and the least proffered one is the divergent one – 3,57% of women and 2,88% of men prefer it.

Teaching students, majoring in linguistics, writing skills is one of the components of the goals of teaching a foreign language in a university. Language corpora are one of the modern teaching tools that create conditions for classroom and extracurricular work of students. We justify and reveal the psychological and pedagogical conditions for teaching students foreign written skills based on the language corpora. Under the psychological and pedagogical conditions is understood the totality of the possibilities of the educational environment which, under the influence of the surrounding material world, are aimed at the development of the personal component and the improvement of certain qualities of the personality of the students. We outline the following list of psychological and pedagogical conditions that must be taken into account when developing appropriate teaching methods: 1) motivation for students to participate in teaching written statements based on the language corpora; 2) the students have a degree of communication competence at the level of B1 and higher; 3) ICT-competence among students; 4) ICT-competence of the teacher; 5) adherence to the specified stages of learning a written statement based on the language corpora. Each of the five conditions is described in detail and justified.
