Evaluating graduates' performance on the job in relation to the language course

Résumé (en anglais)

The paper revolves around one of the aspects researched within the PROSPER Impact Study, a comprehensive assessment project carried out by a group of university-level Romanian teachers of English. A British Council initiative, PROSPER (the Project for Special Purpose English in Romania) was centered on upgrading the teaching/learning of ESP (English for Specific Purposes) in major Romanian institutions of higher education, in order to boost the proficiency of future players in the economic sector, as well as render PROSPER graduates more employable. Having benefited from the PROSPER project's methodological innovations, graduates demonstrate an increased awareness of professional needs and improved professional communication skills, thus increasing their chances as prospective employees on the market.
