Educaţia postmodernistă în contextul predării-învăţării limbii engleze pentru scopuri specifice: caracteristici şi deziderate

Abstract

The major socio-educational changes taking place in the Republic of Moldova and worldwide, require new approaches in organizing the educational process, in order to provide an ongoing training, adjustment and optimization of the teaching-learning process of specialized languages, a reality involving active integration of information and communication technology. From this perspective, the application of specialized languages, as a result of globalization and increased communication between professionals of a specific community (doctors, lawyers, businessmen, engineers, etc.) is of major current importance for the use and implementation of highly specific and relevant professional terminology. Moreover, due to an increasing demand of intercultural communication, English has been considered an international language, present in almost all social, cultural, economic, political fields, etc., which aims to improve the communication skills among students, thus streamlining the acquisition of professional language. Therefore, the "recognition" by linguists of the importance of English as Lingua Franca, which ensures and facilitates global communication, offers English the status of an international language.
