An American-Romanian Linguistic Connection: The State of the Art of TEFL in Romania.
Filimon, David J.
This paper discusses in a general way the decline of use of the Romanian language among second and third-generation Romanian-Americans, and then it points to the state of the study of English as a foreign language in the Romanian Socialist Republic today. A brief review of the influence of British English in Romania is followed by: (1) a more detailed description of American linguistic influence upon the teaching of English as a foreign language, TEFL, in Romania as a result of exchange programs between the U.S. and Romania and the Romanian-English Contrastive Analysis Project, (RECAP), and (2) a report on the English language proficiency of 201 Romanian students of English who were tested with a standardized American EFL instrument in 1975 by the author. A schematic description of the educational system current in Romania is included in the appendix to the paper. (Author)
