The 60 Romanian language classes are taught according to a flexible syllabus and adapted to the students’ requests and needs. In order to develop the fluency of expression and to strengthen previously learnt grammatical structures, the vocabulary and grammar exercises are alternated with individual and group communication activities. The reading syllabus includes texts about everyday life, as well as literary texts, press articles, songs, etc. These instructional media are supplemented by the use of audio-visual teaching materials.
The professors
selected for teaching the Romanian classes are chosen primarily for their
professional skills, but also for their friendly attitude, enthusiasm and
patience and are all part of the Faculty of Letters’ teaching staff, with a
well-built reputation in teaching Romanian as a foreign language (http://learnromanian.unitbv.ro/team/).
The participants are enrolled in several study groups that are selected and
formed after seating an initial language test that evaluates the students’ relative
level of linguistic competence, according to the Common European Framework of
Reference for Languages (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2). Each group consists of
approximately 8-12 students.
- The beginners’ level aims at obtaining simple comprehension skills and at equipping the candidates with the necessary communication skills to activate in familiar situations.
- The intermediate level develops the comprehension abilities of more complex texts, as well as competencies in written and oral communication, on various topics.
- The advanced level enables the students to improve their skills of understanding long and complex texts, facilitating the recognition of distinctions in style, as well as the development of their communication skills through the use of nuanced expressions.
