LIMBA ENGLEZContemporary Issues on Testing English Language

CompetencesThe newly founded curriculum concerning the modern languages

teaching for the advanced 3rd

level students has challenged the

didactic strategies since 2007.

It is taken for granted that all the changes, in fact all the alternative

methodologies, have emerged from the issues of the Bologna

process. Therefore, the ELT with a view to ESP, needed to match

the requests promoted by the Common European Framework of

Reference for Languages CEFRL, along with the Council ofEurope Threshold Level and the European Language Portofolio

EUROPASS.

As far as we are concerned, the 2n

level modern languages

curriculum is directed towards the development of the linguistic

competences as they are depicted by the examination requests

issued under the consent of the British Council, UCLES, as well as

the principles set forth by the Alliance Francaise.

Although, there could be a challenging view as regards the modernteaching strategies, it stands to reason the basics are all the same:

competence versus performance.

Within the 3rlevel advanced schools of the MAI, there has come to

an agreement upon the teaching strategies towards the acquisition

of the B2 linguistic competences, as to CEFRL, turned into similar

performance.

The entrance examination test, EET, issued under the MAI and

MECI agreement, are formerly based on the B1-B2 competences

supposedly aquired by former students who ever passed thebachelor's degree, BD.

Hence, the performance required stands to general communication

topics knowledge and implies all the linguistic skills but the EET

which should only apply for the written competence.

The lexicon and the grammar should do as they were certified by

the BD, applying for the use of the standard language.

Therefore, it is highly recommended all the applicants should

thoroughly revise the knowledge they were certified with. The

items of the test are likely to be structured due to the textbooks inuse, approved by MECI under the agreement of the British Council

/ Alliance Francaise and to any other sources teaching realia.

All in all, the testing level should be issued according to the Bl

topics, thus granting equal chances for different schooling ages.

As for an appendix, we dare suggest the applicants should study

any references promoted by MECI and British Council / Alliance

Francaise regarding the national curriculum.
