Summary/Abstract: Teaching foreign languages in the traditionaleducational system of Romania is a subject that hasraised and continues to raise interest in what concernsthe lack of motivation for students to learn and deepena foreign language in classroom. Despite the efforts thatare made in order to improve the formal learning processthrough the implementation of new teaching methods,foreign languages are still assimilated with difficultyand practiced in reduced number. French is a foreignlanguage that is studied in Romania since primary school.However most students encounter difficulties in learningthis language from the very beginning so that they endup not deepening the information given and maintainingthe same level of training even in middle school or highschool. Seeing the fact that, nowadays, students need a surplus that can motivate them to improve the level of a foreign language such as French and practice the language itself, our goal is to interfere in the learning process of students from middle school and highschool by proposing a series of theatrical techniques in the non-formal setting that can encourage verbal communication in French and can improve students’s level of preparation and the results in this discipline.
