THE FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF MULTILINGUAL LANGUAGE

Summary/Abstract: In the globalized world, which is characterized by language and cultural contacts, the relevance of multilingualism is steadily increasing. The European Commission's demand that every European citizen should master two other foreign languages besides the mother tongue has now become a firm goal of school education in all EU countries. Nowadays, foreign languages are no longer part of an elite group, they are part of the everyday life of many people, they are compulsory in many school systems, they are applied in education and profession and their position in education is more and more in line with the principle: the more languages, the more opportunities. Despite the increasing personal mobility, the linguistic and cultural heterogeneity of the student body is not at all characteristic in some EU countries, including Romania. This article examines the intercultural competence of foreign language teaching students, despite their linguistic and cultural homogeneity, and the extent to which cross-language networking is possible so that multilingualism can lead to productive competence in several languages.
