De la glotodidactica în baza textelor la apetența pentru lecturi

Abstract

The present study discusses the problem (specific to students from the Republic of Moldova) of the insufficient reading in general and, in particular, that of reading in a foreign language. The low level contact with the text (especially with literary works) generates poor knowledge of the foreign language, poor communication skills, major gaps at the lexical, grammatical, expressive, cultural and intercultural level; it also affects the creative use of language, the cognitive and metacognitive processes during the university studies. Apart from discussing the causes of the problem (individual and social institutional), we propose to offer a series of (gloto) didactic solutions in order to overcome the psychological threshold of refusal of the work/text. The primary mandatory condition, which would ensure the effectiveness of the proposed didactic strategies and techniques, is the provision of a sufficient number of hours for subjects that involve reading and activities based on texts.
