TEACHING ROMANIAN AS L2 GRAMMAR WITHIN THE PREPARATORY PROGRAMME OF ROMANIAN LANGUAGE FOR FOREIGN CITIZENS THROUGH SPONTANEOUS COMMUNICATION

Summary/Abstract: Our research was inspired by the difficulties the teachers faced in the last 2 years during the pandemic period in teaching Romanian as a foreign language to international students online. The main problem the teachers faced was the lack of interactive teaching materials within the Preparatory programme of Romanian language for foreign citizens that could have eased the transition from face-to-face to online teaching. When teaching Romanian as a foreign language, teachers should involve the majority of the international students in the activities. Thus, they have the chance to meet new people, learn with them, and they have the opportunity to be involved in all activities. In our article, we develop a set of 10 activities for spontaneous communication as we consider that the aim of such activities is to create a strong connection between the international students’ ability to understand Romanian language and the language grammar structure. Each activity will be assessed accordingly. By achieving these objectives, we demonstrate that spontaneous communication helps our international students to formulate correct statements in Romanian after 9 month intensive classes. The completion of this article could not have been possible without the contribution of the desk research we developed in TGSC (Teaching Grammar for Spontaneous Communication) Erasmus+ project that is mentioned in the article content with acknowledgement.
