Summary/Abstract: The Romanian language as a foreign language has received special interest from specialists in recent years. The emergence of innovative research and learning materials impose a dynamic in this part of the language. The study “Elaboration of texts by foreign students studying the Romanian language. Challenges and Strategies” is the result of experiences observed in teaching Romanian as a foreign language. Writing activities in Romanian represent a challenge both in terms of the written use of assimilated knowledge and in terms of the need to stimulate students' creativity. The situations noted in recent years have revealed the impediments encountered by students in writing texts in Romanian. The first part of the study presents the situation of the elaboration of the texts in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and in the bibliography concerning the teaching of foreign languages. The second part of the study brings a series of strategies to solve the difficulties encountered by the students. These are camouflaged within exercises to stimulate students' interest in writing texts in Romanian. Writing texts based on a plan from images is a strategy used in a multitude of existing materials, and studies aimed at this strategy have proven its use. The exercises proposed in the second part are intended to answer the difficulties of foreign students in the elaboration of texts in Romanian. The end of the study highlights the advantages and disadvantages of using the proposed creative strategies.
