Summary/Abstract: Teaching Romanian as second language involves developing students’ abilities to communicate an oral or a writing message, beside their capacity to listen or to read and to efficiently decode the transmitted information. In the process of a new language acquisition an important role goes not only to the teacher who has to make a clever selection of the texts or of the listening material, all of them, preferable, based on authentic situations, but also to the students who should receive the information in a creative way in order to better understand it and to consolidate it for a long period of time. The article’s aim is to present a study case from the Petroleum and Gas University where students from the preparatory year show their creativity in solving communicational tasks. Even if the teacher provides them templates on different topics as: At the market, On holiday, At the restaurant, At the bank, At the doctor, etc. they are able to improve and to develop their knowledge and even to make a show from these interplays by adapting them to their intercultural and multicultural experience, fact that demonstrates they are able to understand, to internalize and to apply the new vocabulary and grammar information, and even to have fun during their lessons.
