New Directions in Romanian as a Foreign Language. Theory and Application

The collection works at the intersection of applied linguistics, philology, curriculum studies, and language pedagogy. Its purpose is twofold: to consolidate Romanian as a foreign language (RFL) as a coherent field of inquiry and to make the field more accessible to those involved in curriculum design, teaching, and assessment. Addressed to researchers, teacher-educators, advanced practitioners, and policy-makers, the volume argues that RFL should be understood not as a peripheral extension of literary or linguistic study, but as a domain in which theory, level design, learner development, materials, and institutional frameworks must be brought into constructive alignment. Its overarching rationale is to connect international language-education debates with the specific realities of Romanian.
