| Abstract: | Teaching Romanian to international students represents an important element for the image of our educational system and for our culture. All universities offer study programs to international students, which include preparatory language and culture courses that can facilitate, on the one hand students’ cultural adaptation and orientation in both the new educational system and the society and, on the other hand, their successful intercultural communication. The article is based on a qualitative research done at The Polytechnic University of Bucharest. Students of different nationalities participated in two exploratory focus groups, and the findings reflect a set of principles and methodological recommendations referring to: perceptions regarding the competences of an “intercultural speaker”, obstacles in communication and in the cultural adaptation, opinions on the teaching objectives of the intercultural communication competence in a language classroom. We consider that the study programmes for teaching Romanian to international students in universities should take into account both the linguistic aspect and the intercultural competence. |
