In today’s modern world, the interest of both adults and children in learning foreign languages is constantly increasing. Scientific and technological progress, together with social and economic transformations, has significantly influenced educational systems worldwide. English, in particular, has become a global means of communication. As David Crystal (2003) states, “English is now the global language,” highlighting its dominant role in international communication. Consequently, foreign language education has become a priority in schools, including in Romania. However, despite its growing importance, teaching foreign languages remains a complex and challenging process.
Teaching a foreign language involves far more than transmitting grammatical rules or vocabulary. A teacher must develop students’ four fundamental skills—reading, writing, listening, and speaking—while also fostering enthusiasm, motivation, and a positive attitude toward the target language.
