Apprendre le français : une nécessité ou un loisir ?

Résumé (en anglais)

The aim of the article is to show the status of the French Communication course within the Bucharest University of Economic Studies and how the French language can be integrated into the labor market in today's society. Language is an instrument, a tool. Without language, there is no real communication between beings: it is the language that constitutes the code of our relationships. This is why we have sought to teach, from the beginning, language as a means of expression and communication that calls upon all the resources of our being: attitudes, gestures, facial expressions, intonations, etc. At the Bucharest University of Economic Studies, Communication in French has the status of an optional course. It is addressed to students of all faculties, all specializations, all years of study (bachelor's, master's, doctorate). The research proposes to capture a coherent picture of the approaches to the study of the French language for specific purposes and the French language for academic purposes. Regarding critical thinking skills, my article is more of an explanatory, descriptive nature.
