TEACHING ROMANIAN AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE IN THE VIRTUAL CLASSROOM. OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES

Summary/Abstract: Teaching Romanian as a foreign language (RFL) to an often heterogeneous group is a challenge in itself. The COVID-19 pandemic that has affected the whole world has required a rethinking of methods and materials for teaching RFL with the imposition of the transfer of courses to the virtual classroom. This study will discuss the opportunities and challenges that both teachers and students have encountered in teaching and learning RFL. We will thus bring into discussion both theoretical aspects, such as the differentiation between online courses and virtual classroom courses, and pragmatic aspects such as the ways in which we have made the transition to the virtual classroom by adapting traditional teaching methods and materials. At the same time, we will also discuss the new role that the teacher has acquired in this new online teaching reality compared to his/her traditional role.
