Imersiunea cultural-lingvistică: motor al dezvoltării personale și profesionale

Abstract

Cultural-linguistic immersions are an engine of personal development, an asset both for the life of each individual, but also an added value on the labor market, in the community. Culturallinguistic immersion is a very effective method of studying languages, in general, and Romanian, in stricto. From a temporal perspective, immersions are divided into: short-term immersions; mediumterm immersions; long-term immersions. The impact leads to a sociocultural integration as easy as possible through the language and thanks to the language, but also for a later professional insertion. As part of the cultural-linguistic immersion, carried out within the continuous training program "Improving the linguistic communication skills of Romanian language teachers from IPLMN", carried out as part of the National Program on the learning of the Romanian language by national minorities, including the adult population, for the years 2023 – 2025, approved by HG no. 115/07.03.2023, the students increased their level of respect and tolerance for diversity. Also, the teachers exchanged good practices, developed their critical thinking, through the lens of new educations. By interacting with people from other districts of the country, of other ethnicities, the participants learned to appreciate differences and overcome prejudices. During the workshops by comparing with other cultures, the participants gained a clearer perspective on their own values and customs. The host of the event, the State Pedagogical University "Ion Creangă" from Chisinau, designed the activities to improve linguistic communication skills from a praxiological perspective. The cultural immersion objectives aimed to reevaluate some aspects of one's identity in the light of new experiences and perspectives.
