Summary/Abstract: The teaching of Romanian as a foreign language follows current pedagogical trends, undergoing a paradigm shift from a teacher-centred to a learner/student-centred approach. In the present case, this shift is even more visible in specialised language courses, where mastery of the target language vocabulary isa direct indicator of learners’ linguistic competence (Nyikos, Fan 2007). The pandemic context and the dynamics of the labour market have led to a shift away from the traditional role of the te’cher, who has also become a creator and provider of teaching materials, as well as a facilitator of their use when talking about digital teaching resources (Hall 2013). The present paper aims to discuss a number of innovative methods of review and assessment that could be used in the specialised languages course of the Preparatory Year of Romanian for Foreign Citizens.
