Cultural Aspects in Producing Written Messages at the Preparatory Year
Cultural Aspects in Producing Written Messages at the Preparatory Year

Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the cultural aspects contained in recent Romanian textbooks of Romanian as a foreign language and on the cultural aspects identified in the essays of our foreign students who studied Romanian at the preparatory year of Romanian as a foreign language. By means of a categorization between general cultural aspects and cultural-linguistic aspects we describe the most peculiar aspects noticed in the written messages of foreign students, aspects that may represent a good starting point for conceiving new textbooks of Romanian. We observed a noticeable contrast between the monocultural perspective of certain Romanian textbooks for learning Romanian as a foreign language and the multi- and intercultural attitude of the essays written by the foreign students.
