Aspectele culturale – factor stimulativ în învățarea limbii române ca limbă străină
Cultural Issues – an Appealing Frame for Teaching Romanian as a Foreign Languages

Summary/Abstract: Our paper starts with the question how to expose students (levels B1-B2) to the cultural background of the language they are studying without them having the necessary level to understand several connotations and the complete frame of understanding the typical cultural and traditional elements. Nevertheless, a text covering cultural issues might be more interesting and might turn a simple starting-point discussion into a more animated and realistic dialogue. Thus, our target is to present a text that would help students get an insight of the Romanian culture, but which could also be used as a frame for reaching grammatical structures and vocabulary acquisition. Moreover, the paper’s objective is to list the steps of tailoring such a course that comprises both grammatical and vocabulary issues and cultural ones. Last, but not least, our aim is to investigate if a culturally loaded text could be exploited in a language course.
