Metode moderne de predare a limbajului de specialitate

In the educational process, both the teacher and the student act using teaching and learning methods that influence the quality of work and the efficiency of the learning process. The methods used in higher education, namely teaching specialized language in a foreign language, vary from classical to modern ones, adapted to the specific context. Innovative methods involve learning through communication and collaboration, facilitating the confrontation of ideas and opinions, and creating learning situations focused on cooperation and active participation. Among the modern teaching methods are also the cluster method and mind mapping, which are used to channel students' creativity and to organize and synthesize knowledge. The cluster method is an interactive technique for learning vocabulary, which encourages association and expansion of vocabulary in a visual and interactive way. On the other hand, mind mapping is a graphic representation of ideas, providing a more organized and hierarchical structure. Both techniques have advantages and disadvantages, and the choice between them may depend on preferences and the specific purpose of use in the learning process.

Traditional Vs Modern English Language Teaching Methods: Study Based on a Survey

The study compares traditional and modern English language teaching methods and examines the prevalence and adoption of these methods by English language teachers. The sample consists of 100 English language teachers. The researchers use OLS regression, binary logistic regression and structural equation modelling to establish an association between adopting a particular language teaching method and the characteristics of the language teachers. Results indicate that experienced teachers prefer the social learning method, while less experienced teachers advocate the bilingual, experiential, and listening and observation methods. There are gender differences in accepting these language teaching methods. Female language teachers show an inclination towards the listening and observation method, whereas male teachers ardently favour the bilingual and experiential methods. Regression analysis reveals a higher probability of adoption of bilingual translation methods by non-English educational background teachers. Experienced teachers adopt the Social Learning Method, while less experienced teachers prefer experiential learning and bilingual translation methods more. Results of the path analysis using structural equation modelling indicate that the gender of the teachers mediates their educational background in the adoption of the particular language teaching method.
