The research was carried out in the 2022-2023 school year and was carried out in collaboration with school inspectors for the discipline of physical education and sport in 40 counties of the country. In carrying it out, I used the questionnaire survey to collect information and the statistical-mathematical calculations for quantitative analysis. The research’s results show that only 31 educational institutions in Romania implemented this optional discipline, although chess has major impact on students’ personal development. Of these, 23 educational units (74.2%) are located in rural areas and only 8 educational units (25.8%) are in urban areas. It was observed that in only 18 counties (42.86% of the number of counties) there were pre-university education institutions where classes studied this optional discipline. It was found that 28 classes of middle school, 21 classes of primary and 4 classes of high school studied this optional subject. We believe that the small number of educational units in which the optional discipline \"Education through chess\" was implemented is determined by the lack of skills of specialists in physical education and sports regarding the teaching of chess, the discipline Theory and practice of chess being introduced in the curriculum of university education from 2019.","PeriodicalId":203824,"journal":{"name":"Logos Universality Mentality Education Novelty: Social Sciences","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139209172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cultural competence, the ability to understand and navigate cultural differences, plays a vital role in achieving this. However, traditional language learning approaches often fail to adequately prepare learners for the cultural challenges they will face in professional contexts. English for Specific Purposes ‘ESP’ teaching, on the other hand, is well-suited to address this gap by integrating cultural content and skills into language teaching. This paper will explore the importance of cultural competence in Business English and discuss how ESP teaching can bridge the gap between traditional language learning and the needs of the business world. Precisely, the paper will aim to define cultural competence and its importance for Business English learners. It will also outline the challenges and opportunities for integrating cultural content and skills into ESP teaching. Additionally, it will answer the following question: How can ESP practitioners design and implement practical learning tasks to promote cultural competence in their students? The paper will conclude with a summary of the key findings and recommendations for ESP practitioners and syllabus designers.","PeriodicalId":203824,"journal":{"name":"Logos Universality Mentality Education Novelty: Social Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139213914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results indicated the mediating role of organizational identification on the relationship between emotional intimacy and collaborative, helping and counterproductive behaviors. Thus, the more people feel comfortable sharing their emotions at work and identify with the organization on a cognitive and/or affective level, the more they engage in helping behaviors directed toward colleagues and the organization, and at the same time, engagement decreases deviant behaviors.
