THE PRODUCTION-ORIENTED APPROACH IMPLEMENTED IN A COURSE OF ROMANIAN FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES (COVERING THE FIELD OF BIOLOGY AND BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES)

Summary/Abstract: The current paper’s objective is to present the results gained by implementing POA (Production-Oriented Approach) in the process of teaching Romanian as a foreign language to the students belonging to the Preparatory Programme. The above-mentioned didactic approach was created by a team of researchers from China, led by Wen Qiufang (2015), and proposes a reorganisation of the teaching process in order to improve the communication and production skills of Chinese students who learn English. The research aims to present the way in which this method can be applied to a foreign language in another linguistic context: Romanian as a foreign language. POA was applied to the students who subscribed and follow the Preparatory Programme of Romanian, in a course of Romanian for specific purposes: biological and biomedical sciences, in order to check the efficiency of this didactic approach and its potential in teaching Romanian as a foreign language. Thus, the teaching process was tailored according to the three stages suggested by POA: motivating, facilitating and evaluating, the topic being The human respiratory system.
