    CURRENT TRENDS, DIRECTIONS, AND PERSPECTIVES ON TEACHING ENGLISH FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES
    (Editura USM, 2024) Pleșca(Ciudin), Galina; Wang, Yanlin
    English for Specific Purposes has now become an established discipline in many higher education institutions and, as such, it has attracted the attention of many practitioners who need to deal with it on a professional level. Being an important programme to university curricula, it requires a deeper understanding of both the basic concepts and the new trends and directions applicable to its teaching. Therefore, the main concern of this research is twofold: on the one hand, it aims at reviewing briefly the evolution of the essential principles of ESP from its modern origins in the early 1960s until the present day, and, on the other hand, at describing the current situation in the field, especially its methodology, focusing on identifying the best practices for teaching ESP and aligning them with the modern trends.

    The present article is dedicated to the need of teaching ESP, English being considered the Lingua Franca of our age, which means that it is the dominant language of this era. Being able to communicate scientifically is an important skill for students graduating with a science degree. Skills used in future careers for science majors include oral and written communication, as well as science literacy and being able to create figures to display information. In the article below, we present an active curriculum that can be easily incorporated into any content-focused undergraduate Biology course in English. The curriculum is designed around scientific literature that engages students in a multitude of active learning activities to develop different types of scientific communication skills.

    TENDINȚE DE ACCEPTARE LINGVISTICĂ ȘI IMPACTUL ACESTEIA ÎN LIMBAJUL STANDARD
    (Editura USM, 2023) Galben, Inga
    The proliferation of new technologies, particularly those based on artificial intelligence, has ushered in changes in communication patterns and the speed at which language evolves. English, with its linguistic prestige, has become the lingua franca in the virtual space of private organizations and educational institutions, facilitating the acceptance of diverse forms of communication. Foreign investments have brought new cultures and communication styles, which are often adopted by local organizations. Social networks and online media have also contributed to the evolution of standard language. The advent of open access to artificial intelligence platforms has raised questions about how this technology will influence human life and communication. The aim of this paper is to analyze the key factors driving the change in standard language and the level of acceptance of these changes.
