Abstract. This article examines the problems of foreign language teaching in secondary and higher education through the prism of the relationship between the two systems in Bulgaria. As it refers to secondary education, the article considers the difficulties that teachers and students face in acquiring foreign language competences, while in the case of higher education, it focuses on the unsynchronized preparation that students come with from secondary education. The authors‘ thesis is that these problems could be at least partially alleviated with more detailed normative regulation of the transfer of knowledge between the two stages of education. Thus harmonization between the two systems and mutual understanding of the challenges and issues faced by the other side would be achieved.
