Summary/Abstract: Professional French is a relatively recent concept that incorporates the field of French as a foreign language. This concept aims to acquire transversal linguistic skills in several sectors of activity by learners at the start of their career or by professionals looking for a job in a French-speaking company. The goal of this article is to analyze the textbooks used in the teaching of French in the non-linguistic fields of four universities of Timișoara, Romania, to understand whether the methods target French as a Professional Language (FLP) or other fields of French as a Foreign Language (FLE).
