VIRTUAL EXPERIENCES IN TEACHING / LEARNING ROMANIAN AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE

Summary/Abstract: For both students and instructors, online learning involves a series of challenges and benefits. It is a new experience and an opportunity for self-reflection and development. On many levels, the virtual teaching experience brings changes, in various areas, such as: teaching materials, conditions of learning, contact between peers and between students and teachers, teaching input and feedback. In the first part of the article, we will refer to aspects of teaching the Romanian language to foreigners in the online context during the pandemic period, with an emphasis on the methods which increase and maintain students' motivation. We will also include testimonials of teachers and foreign students, as answers to the questionnaire administered for our research. The results of the study reveal that the online experience of teaching-learning the Romanian language for foreign students has facilitated an awareness of the individual way of teaching and learning and also helped to identify new ways to motivate students and keep them self-motivated, in order to enhance the educational process, in the given context.
