Двуезични разкази на френски и български език. ... "Поредицата "Contes bilingues" на издателство "Веси" е предназначена за читатели, които са все още начинаещи (I - II ниво) в обучението си по френски език.

Според наше вестникарско проучване от 2001 г. приказките на Шарл Перо са сред първите 5 книги, до които се докосва всяко подрастващо българче. Навярно и в останалите или поне в повечето европейски държави отношението към тях е подобно. Техният автор обаче съвсем не е предвиждал такова развитие на нещата, понеже в неговата ... |

Като ревизира представите за литературата и четенето, дигиталното проблематизира и установената литературнообразователна практика. Изследвайки училищната дигитална култура - каквато е и каквато би могла да бъде - тази книга задава въпросите как се осъществява познавателният акт в общуването с текста, как текстът моделира читателя в зависимост от това дали четенето протича в аналогова или дигитална среда, как цифровите технологии променят мисленето ни, а впоследствие и самите ни представи за четене и текст. Иван Велчев е дългогодишен учител по български език и литература. Защитил е докторска степен в СУ Св. Климент ... |
