  abstract  = {The NBU Language Teaching Platform (PLT) was initially designed for teaching
	foreign languages for specific purposes; at a second stage, some of its
	functionalities were extended to answer the needs of teaching general foreign
	language. New functionalities have now been created for the purpose of
	providing e-support for Bulgarian language and literature teaching at primary
	and secondary school level. The article presents the general structure of the
	platform and the functionalities specifically developed to match the standards
	and expected results set by the Ministry of Education.
	   The E-platform integrates: 1/ an environment for creating, organizing and
	maintaining electronic text archives, for extracting text corpora and aligning
	corpora; 2/ a linguistic database; 3/ a concordancer; 4/ a set of modules for
	the generation and editing of practice exercises for each text or corpus; 5/
	functionalities for export from the platform and import to other educational
	platforms. For Moodle, modules were created for test generation, performance
	assessment and feedback.
	   The PLT allows centralized presentation of abundant teaching content,
	control of the educational process, fast and reliable feedback on performance.
