The key elements in teaching English for Specific Purposes are the proper selection, development and use of materials. Due to the specificity of the subject-matter specialisms in diverse courses, the available published textbooks have often proved to be insufficient. This articles addresses the problem of ESP materials and suggests ways in which the ESP instructor can identify, adapt and use ESP materials in an effective way.

As a profession, teaching is a process that involves teacher–student-teacher interaction. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has changed our lives and ways of communication. Each day teachers and students faced difficulties in the teaching and learning process, challenges that they had to cope with by using their critical judgement and expertise. During this critical period, face-to-face teaching was switched to the online one, by ensuring students a teaching platform and giving them access to online materials. Working under stress and with limited resources, at first, teachers did their best to pave the way for online education.
The aim of the present case study, based on an online questionnaire, was to shed light on the need to include and use modern student-centered teaching techniques and methods within the educational process at George Emil Palade University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Science, and Technology of Târgu Mureș to improve quality of education. In a world that is continuously changing and developing the use of innovative teaching methods will help students to improve their learning abilities, stimulate their critical thinking and engage them in the learning process.

After leaving the Jewish fair of Sulita, Ion Pribeagu, the author of the lyrics of a famous song, Zaraza, became known throughout Romania, and not only, for his humor, satirical verve, inspiring portraits, unexpected forms of intertextuality. Signing under different pseudonyms, such as Ion Pribeagu, he wrote about families, characters, gastronomy, world and its habits, with sparks of comic genius. Living more in Bucharest, where he had become a kind of living legend, emigrating and dying in Tel Aviv, Ion Pribeagu, through everything he wrote, conceived his own fair, something between Sulita and Bucharest, where Romanians and Jews have cohabited at will.

The present paper is intended to highlight the role of communication skills in the context of teaching English for Specific Purposes, given their importance of these skills both in the economy of the course syllabus and as an overall objective of any specialized language training. The study also identifies some of the most common obstacles faced by language instructors when designing and implementing communicative activities and suggests ways of overcoming them by resorting to specific methodological aids. Additionally, the author attempts to formulate a series of principles describing ESP teaching with a focus on communicative skills and starting from the theoretical background of the Communicative Language Teaching method.

Rudyard Kipling was always a writer of his time yet strangely not of it. Born in an era of uncertainties, the age of Victoria, when the British Empire was the dominant power in the world, he died in a time of fragmentation, on the eve of the Second World War, at a time when Britain could neither compete with her rivals, nor ignore the rising of the anti-colonial tide. A controversial literary figure, Kipling was both acclaimed and sanctioned for being the voice of Anglo-Saxon imperialism. His literary work was a political and ideological response to a historical reality. The writer is representing a reality, or a way reality was seen at the time, given the ideology available to him. Accordingly, Kipling’s life, attitudes and writings were a fusion of many contemporary currents, which generated the contradictions that enveloped him.

In university syllabuses Discourse analysis and Interpretation appear as separate courses. Nevertheless, as our teaching experience showed us, they are quite complementary and rely on a conceptual basis that nourish our students’ knowledge of discourse and the practice of it. As this paper aims at showing, the analysis of one of Emmanuel Macron’s discourses on the Gilets jaunes brought us to the understanding that being familiar with some discursive strategies may help future interpreters’ performance especially when knowledge is transferred from one discipline to the other, in an integrated approach.

Under the patronage of Napkút Kiadó publishing house, the poetry volume entitled Fényhajlίtás was published in Budapest, an admirable translation from the works of Romanian poet Nichita Stănescu, performed by translator Kiss Zsuzsánna, in 2017. With the “phantom of a… disappeared author” (U. Eco), with the accomplished art and overwhelming deepness of a neomodernist (and not only that!)” as Nichita Stănescu, the translator cannot “negotiate” only by using equal modalities of negotiation with the source-text and a similar talent.

The book explores the complex relationships between the emperors of Rome (from Augustus to Hadrian) and some of the most significant writers of the era (Virgil, Horace, Propertiu, Ovid, Seneca, Lucan, Petronius, Pliny the Elder, Martial, Juvenal, Tacit, Pliny the Younger). In an effort to reconstruct vestiges of an inevitably fragmented past, the author cuts data, details, literary forms and ideas through which she outlines the force of writing and the weaknesses of writers, much too close to decision-making centers, authoritarian principles and capricious principles of Rome.

Cosmetics advertising provides a rich field of analysis in terms of pragma-linguistic and multimodal communication, as well as different degrees of persuasion and language creativity. This paper is a case study of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics through the multimodal discourse analysis framework. It employs different deconstruction tools as research variables: the AIDA persuasion pattern (attention, interest, desire, action) in ad constituents, deixis, disjunctive grammar, tropes, and elements of visual semiotics. The analysis will provide insight for master students who intend to develop a career in public relations as copywriters, helping them to understand the persuasion attainment and the potential of strategies and techniques used in advertising communication.

The work of Lorand Gaspar, a contemporary author of French expression, born in TarguMures, stands out for a poetic approach to existence, in which the presentation of ideas interferes with body consciousness, culture and nature. The relationships established between them retrace certain poetic, but also ethical and existential principles. The notion of non-belonging is fundamental to Gaspar's poetics. He projected himself as a nomad, subjected to both geographical and spiritual migration, something that became his main source of revitalization and an essential identity component. Besides, poetry remained for Gaspar the only country of belonging, and the road towards it ensured the coherence of the entire journey.

We focused in this paper on the dependent use of subjunctive in different stages of Romanian language (from the 16th century to the 21st century). We discuss the elements that precede this verbal form and the semantic field they belong to (possibility, probability, certainty, knowledge etc.), some differences due to the evolution of Romanian language and the occurrence of subjunctive in some subordinate clauses.

During the last years, gamification has been regarded as a powerful tool to transform the EFL classroom into an engaging and entertaining learning context. The present paper aims to give insight into how gamification affects students’ intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. With a sample of 51 students of a state school located in Almazora (Castellón, Spain), an experimental group and a control group were created in order to compare digital to traditional methodologies, respectively. With the implementation of a Motivation’s Questionnaire and an Attitude’s Questionnaire, the obtained results indicated that the use of Quizizz motivates students both intrinsically and extrinsically and that students hold a favorable attitude towards the introduction of gamification in the EFL classroom. Finally, gamification seems to offer favourable results in the students’ learning process. Further research in this field should focus on other individual variables such as age, gender and background.

Dicționarul român-german de frazeologisme somatice (The Romanian-German Dictionary of Somatic Phraseology), signed by Oxana Chira, Aurelia Codreanu, Artur Chira, and published by AV Akademikerverlag is an original work due to the manner of the internal presentation of the body of texts, namely the alphabet ordering of the somatic phrases and expressions. The work has a double purpose: selecting phrases used both in Romania and the Republic of Moldavia, developed based on the somatic element (arm, head, finger, face, mouth etc.) and their equivalent / translation into German.

The detection and the application of principles of other branches of science and art has been influential in reforming and forming new ideas and interpretations in other areas of science. This article has dealt with the detection and justification of the principles of chaos theory in the plays of postmodern dramatists. The postmodern absurd theatre can be closely justified at the shadow of the principles of chaos theory mainly regarding the themes afflicting humanity at postmodern era. The article makes it clear how the themes can best be justified within the frameworks of chaos theory and how these chaotic themes can lead to tranquilized condition of human being via the framework of dramatic art. This has enabled the unseen in-tumult layers of human mind regarding his condition and being emerged, made tangible, and get soothed in its condition, a phenomenon whose illustration would be impossible with no other way round. Finally, the paper presents the finding that the chaotic state of mind and being of postmodern man based on the chaotic state of the postmodernism era would capture the significance and meaning built based on his own findings and understanding.
