Resumen de Using English in Teaching RomanianLanguage for Foreign Students
Romanian is a Romance language and it is not a widely spoken language. Twenty seven universities out of over eighty public and private universities in Romania offer the preparatory year for learning Romanian for foreign citizens. The present article focuses on methods of using English as a tool in teaching Romanian language for foreign students. It also provides recent theoretical literature and practice in the area of teaching methodology and approaches the issues arising while teaching Romanian language, using traditional methods: the direct method, grammar-translation, audio-lingual, the structural approach, total physical response, communicative language teaching, the silent way, community language learning, immersion, task-based language learning, the natural approach, the lexical syllabus, just to mention few of them suggested by Dave Willis.
