Summary/Abstract: This research examines the impact of plurilingualism on the academic performance of Romanian students enrolled in the 12th grade where they study three languages: English, French and Italian at different levels. The research consists of two parts. The first part of the study investigates the Romanian curricula and the conventions of the Common European Framework for Languages for the three foreign languages as a knowledge support for the first and second language learners in acquiring academic language. It focuses on the existing resemblances and differences in writing skills and their impact on the academic performance. The second part analyzes the language proficiency in the academic written performance and studies the outcomes regarding the written skills of the students.
