Summary/Abstract: The current economic context expects that engineering graduates should have a wide range of both technical/hard skills and soft ones. It is the role of higher education to equip students with soft skills to support them in successfully accessing jobs (inter)nationally. This study therefore aims to propose an approach focused on developing the learners’ language learning and language using strategic repertoire. A chronological cross section of recent evolutions in the approach to teaching foreign languages in a Romanian technical university is given and a research project is briefly discussed, which should be seen as a proposal open to optimization.
