Predarea perfectului compus studenților străini din anul pregătitor de limba română. Probleme teoretice și didactice

Abstract

Our paper intends to illustrate a possible didactic scenario of how to teach The Past Simple Tense to the international students enrolled in the academic program entitled "The Preparatory Year of Romanian Language for Foreign Citizens" at the Bucharest University of Economic Studies (level A1, according to CEFR). Our study is the partial result of teaching the "Practical Course of Romanian: Phonetics, Vocabulary and Sentence Structures" for more than four academic years at the Bucharest University of Economic Studies. This is part of a wider research, now in progress. Past Simple Tense is considered to be an easier tense to be taught by the teacher and to be learnt by the students in comparison with the Present Simple Tense, for instance. Therefore, the aim of this study, which starts from several personal considerations and beliefs regarding teaching Romanian grammar notions based on a deductive approach, is to emphasize the need to create an efficient teaching and learning method of this Romanian verbal tense.
