Features: As a non-universal language, the teaching of Romanian at the undergraduate, master's, and doctoral levels in China began in 1956, currently serving as a beneficial supplement to China's foreign language education. Our consistent goal has been to continuously improve the teaching and research standards of the Romanian program in China's higher education, cultivating high-quality talents for national development and the advancement of China-Romania relations. In recent years, to align our efforts with the demands of the times and the cultivation of Romanian talent, we have conducted a series of explorations and adjustments in professional teaching. To some extent, this textbook also reflects such educational reforms. Therefore, during the writing process, we strive to achieve the following points:
1. Practicality and Timeliness of Content: The sentence patterns, texts, examples, and exercises are meticulously designed to closely align with real-life communication needs, making them easy to grasp and apply. The texts cover various aspects such as history, geography, politics, economy, culture and arts, tourism, sports, and folklore, fully reflecting the characteristics of the target country while also incorporating Chinese culture, especially the cultural features of Beijing. Additionally, they include elements of both humanities and natural sciences, touching on contemporary science and technology, human-nature relationships, environmental protection, and e-commerce.
2. Systematic and Professional Knowledge: In the treatment of grammatical structures, difficulties are dispersed, progressing from simple to complex in alternating and repeated segments. Through shallow and deep dual cycles in the first and second volumes and the third and fourth volumes, students are solidly grounded in the basic skills of using Romanian. Key vocabulary is explained in detail with abundant practice, and the exercises are designed to be diverse, covering systematic training in listening, speaking, reading, writing, and translation. Starting from the third volume, each lesson also includes concise introductions to linguistics and modern Romanian theory to enrich students' knowledge and enhance their academic literacy.
3. Accuracy and Standardization of Language: The language used in the textbook complies with modern Romanian standards, and the writing follows the orthographic rules promulgated by the Romanian Academy in 1993. Our overall vision is to use this textbook as the core material for the foundational stage, enabling students to preliminarily master Romanian within 2 to 3 years. Subsequently, they can take specialized courses in Romanian at higher levels. Upon graduation, students will become professionals with a solid language foundation, high cultural literacy, and innovative awareness.
