Abstract

Teaching Romanian for specific purposes is difficult in general and it often involves grouping students in teams according to their area of interest. Having a homogenous group of students with similar options for their future university studies is a rare occurrence in our university, thus teaching Romanian for specific purposes is seldom carried out with the whole class, and most likely involves “team work” activities. Starting with a questionnaire given to the preparatory year students in Petroleum-Gas University of Ploiești, the present paper analyzes the difficulties encountered while teaching Romanian for specific purposes online, first in an asynchronous manner, and then in real-time by means of videoconferencing. The last part of the paper discusses further how the experience of asynchronous teaching was used during the following semesters to improve synchronous and mixed teaching for the same discipline and with similar groups of students.
