Abordări plurilingve în învățarea limbii române ca limbă străină

Abstract

In the context of globalization and increased mobility, plurilingual and pluricultural competences are essential for communication and integration. Teaching Romanian as a foreign language can leverage these competences through activities that promote intercomprehension, mediation, and linguistic transfer, in line with the CEFR – Companion volume descriptors. The paper outlines five types of activities designed to foster the developments of students’ plurilingual and pluricultural competences. Exercises such as linguistic portraits enable learners to raise awareness of their plurilingual skills, while interactive games and multilingual greetings encourage language comparison and recognition of shared elements. Plurilingual comprehension tasks and parallel texts foster meaning deduction and structural analysis, consolidating vocabulary and grammar while developing intercultural sensitivity. A set of 65 Romanian words similar to Slovene, paired with images, supports lexical acquisition, correct pronunciation, and plurilingual strategies. These activities enhance autonomy, confidence, and intercultural cooperation, demonstrating that the proposed methods facilitate both Romanian language learning and the development of plurilingual and intercultural competences for active international communication.
