25 Years of Language Educational Resources at the Heart of Business Education
Abstract
The aim of the current article is to shed light on the efforts undertaken by language professionals from the Bucharest University of Economic Studies (ASE), Romania, to design educational resources for students enrolled in the University's study programs. We focus on a period of 25 years, from 2000 to 2025, to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Dialogos Journal. We refer to a wide (yet not exhaustive) selection of study materials, ranging from textbooks and workbooks, to commercial correspondence guidelines, practice tests, dictionaries or glossaries, designed for six out of the eleven languages included in the curricula – English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Romanian. At the end of the article, we include an appendix with the publication details of more than 200 monolingual, bilingual or plurilingual educational materials designed and published by ASE's foreign language teachers.
