with the new requirements and expectations of all the stakeholders. Foreign language teaching makes no exception to this rule. With so much focus on the importance of having graduates who are proficient in at least one foreign language - according to EU Commission directives - teachers have to acknowledge the main challenges and deal with them effectively. When it comes to English, a language that nowadays Romanians start studying since kindergarten, trainers are often faced with challenges related to the class participants&#39; previous experience with the study of this language.

They have expectations or experience regarding contexts when they might be - or have already been - required to communicate in English with customers, colleagues or business partners both in face-to-face and online interactions and they express their willingness to improve their skills in this field. However, when it comes to identifying the elements of effective professional communication, or to getting involved in English for Specific Purposes class activities often perceived as less entertaining and more troublesome than spoken interaction (e.g. grammar or vocabulary work, business writing tasks), the participants&#39; enthusiasm decreases significantly.

As an instrument used in higher education, it evolved from an optional, relatively new approach, to an indispensable tool. In order to ensure a superior teaching process, nowadays trainers are focusing on finding new and exciting technological resources in order to attract their students. But does this mean that traditional teaching methods become obsolete? Are students&#39; learning needs better satisfied by using ICT tools? This article will provide answers to these questions, as it discusses the case of foreign languages and business communication teaching at the Bucharest University of Economic Studies. Our research is based on a critical analysis of a twofold survey conducted both among undergraduate students and among foreign language teachers from this institution.

This multifold approach could justify why one of the major issues in teaching ESP is represented by efforts to eliminate plagiarism from the students&#39; written work. As the Internet has become more and more part of students&#39; research and of their academic, as well as personal life, plagiarism has increased significantly.

This article aims to discuss the first two elements from this list and to show how the shift to exclusively online academic interaction triggered reconfigurations of the evaluation systems used in universities.

This acknowledgement has had an increasingly strong impact on existing and future professionals’ attitudes to learning the language in such a way that nowadays few people, especially from the younger generations, would imagine being able to go beyond the borders of their native countries, have a job in a big company or keep in touch with what is going on in the world without having any knowledge of English. This chapter aims to highlight Romanian students’ motivation for wanting to be proficient in the English language, as well as to bring forth examples of good practices used by ESP teachers from the Bucharest University of Economic Studies and some information concerning the challenges that both students and business communication in English teachers might have to face in achieving their goal.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="90121216"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="90121216"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 90121216;

And are students’ needs better served by using Information and Communications Technology (ICT) tools? We will answer these questions, as we discuss the case of foreign language and business communication teaching at the Bucharest University of Economic Studies. Our research is based on a critical analysis of a twofold survey conducted both among undergraduate students and among foreign language teachers from this institution. We will bring into prominence the advantages and disadvantages of e-learning from both students’ and trainers’ perspectives, thus trying to offer a complex approach to e-learning in this specific field. Our initial assumption was that learners’ and trainers’ attitudes towards e-learning differ significantly. We expected that the first tend to emphasize the innovative character of e-learning, while the latter are more aware of its pitfalls compared to traditional teaching methods. However, our research findings have proved that these differences are not as many as expected. This study will show that in the field of foreign language and business communication teaching, the role of a blended approach (mixing traditional and innovative teaching methods) becomes a prerequisite for the education of the future.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="90121184"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="90121184"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 90121184; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=90121184]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=90121184]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 90121184; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='90121184']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=90121184]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":90121184,"title":"E-Learning in Foreign Language Teaching: What is Gained and What is Lost","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/90121184/E_Learning_in_Foreign_Language_Teaching_What_is_Gained_and_What_is_Lost","owner_id":26072126,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"owner":{"id":26072126,"first_name":"irina","middle_initials":"","last_name":"david","page_name":"irinadavid","domain_name":"ase","created_at":"2015-02-10T09:49:50.190-08:00","display_name":"irina david","url":"https://ase.academia.edu/irinadavid"},"attachments":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="83507910"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/83507910/The_Impact_of_the_COVID_19_Pandemic_on_Academic_Communication"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Academic Communication" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://a.academia-assets.com/images/blank-paper.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/83507910/The_Impact_of_the_COVID_19_Pandemic_on_Academic_Communication">The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Academic Communication</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>SYNERGY</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">This article aims to tackle the significant shifts in academic and administrative communication i...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">This article aims to tackle the significant shifts in academic and administrative communication in higher education in view of the necessity to adapt to changes as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This article focuses on analyzing the results of a questionnaire completed by students at the Faculty of Commerce from the Bucharest University of Economic Studies regarding their opinion on the usefulness of business writing skills, their views on tasks designed to develop these skills, as well as their suggestions of activities that might increase their interest in enhancing their business writing competences.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="70389674"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="70389674"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 70389674;

When it comes to female characters, illness has a multifold impact, having both physical and psychological effects, erasing in extreme cases female identity itself. The aim of this article is to offer insights into how sickness is depicted as a menace that leaves female characters deprived of any power they might have by affecting their appearance, which is the main indicator of their social identity and the key instrument they can use to establish and maintain relationships, and by taking away their ability to control themselves and how they are seen by others.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="70389633"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="70389633"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 70389633;

However, the author of this article considers the above-mentioned approach is not fully effective, as students need to focus not only on language concepts, but also on elements related to the development of their critical thinking skills when preparing and delivering speeches.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="996ce0fc4cb2dc7dc0a83594afb2e0da" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":38109745,"asset_id":13715209,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/38109745/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="13715209"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="13715209"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 13715209;

When it comes to English, a language that nowadays Romanians start studying since kindergarten, trainers are often faced with challenges related to the class participants&#39; previous experience with the study of this language. There are many students who think that after studying the language for so long they know enough English and they don&#39;t need to dedicate time to their business English classes.

As an instrument used in higher education, it evolved from an optional, relatively new approach, to an indispensable tool. In order to ensure a superior teaching process, nowadays trainers are focusing on finding new and exciting technological resources in order to attract their students. But does this mean that traditional teaching methods become obsolete? Are students&#39; learning needs better satisfied by using ICT tools? This article will provide answers to these questions, as it discusses the case of foreign languages and business communication teaching at the Bucharest University of Economic Studies. Our research is based on a critical analysis of a twofold survey conducted both among undergraduate students and among foreign language teachers from this institution.

This multifold approach could justify why one of the major issues in teaching ESP is represented by efforts to eliminate plagiarism from the students&#39; written work. As the Internet has become more and more part of students&#39; research and of their academic, as well as personal life, plagiarism has increased significantly.

This article aims to discuss the first two elements from this list and to show how the shift to exclusively online academic interaction triggered reconfigurations of the evaluation systems used in universities.

This acknowledgement has had an increasingly strong impact on existing and future professionals’ attitudes to learning the language in such a way that nowadays few people, especially from the younger generations, would imagine being able to go beyond the borders of their native countries, have a job in a big company or keep in touch with what is going on in the world without having any knowledge of English. This chapter aims to highlight Romanian students’ motivation for wanting to be proficient in the English language, as well as to bring forth examples of good practices used by ESP teachers from the Bucharest University of Economic Studies and some information concerning the challenges that both students and business communication in English teachers might have to face in achieving their goal.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="90121216"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="90121216"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 90121216;

And are students’ needs better served by using Information and Communications Technology (ICT) tools? We will answer these questions, as we discuss the case of foreign language and business communication teaching at the Bucharest University of Economic Studies. Our research is based on a critical analysis of a twofold survey conducted both among undergraduate students and among foreign language teachers from this institution. We will bring into prominence the advantages and disadvantages of e-learning from both students’ and trainers’ perspectives, thus trying to offer a complex approach to e-learning in this specific field. Our initial assumption was that learners’ and trainers’ attitudes towards e-learning differ significantly. We expected that the first tend to emphasize the innovative character of e-learning, while the latter are more aware of its pitfalls compared to traditional teaching methods. However, our research findings have proved that these differences are not as many as expected. This study will show that in the field of foreign language and business communication teaching, the role of a blended approach (mixing traditional and innovative teaching methods) becomes a prerequisite for the education of the future.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="90121184"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="90121184"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 90121184; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=90121184]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=90121184]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 90121184; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='90121184']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=90121184]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":90121184,"title":"E-Learning in Foreign Language Teaching: What is Gained and What is Lost","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/90121184/E_Learning_in_Foreign_Language_Teaching_What_is_Gained_and_What_is_Lost","owner_id":26072126,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"owner":{"id":26072126,"first_name":"irina","middle_initials":"","last_name":"david","page_name":"irinadavid","domain_name":"ase","created_at":"2015-02-10T09:49:50.190-08:00","display_name":"irina david","url":"https://ase.academia.edu/irinadavid"},"attachments":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="83507910"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/83507910/The_Impact_of_the_COVID_19_Pandemic_on_Academic_Communication"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Academic Communication" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://a.academia-assets.com/images/blank-paper.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/83507910/The_Impact_of_the_COVID_19_Pandemic_on_Academic_Communication">The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Academic Communication</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>SYNERGY</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">This article aims to tackle the significant shifts in academic and administrative communication i...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">This article aims to tackle the significant shifts in academic and administrative communication in higher education in view of the necessity to adapt to changes as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This article focuses on analyzing the results of a questionnaire completed by students at the Faculty of Commerce from the Bucharest University of Economic Studies regarding their opinion on the usefulness of business writing skills, their views on tasks designed to develop these skills, as well as their suggestions of activities that might increase their interest in enhancing their business writing competences.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="70389674"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="70389674"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 70389674;

When it comes to female characters, illness has a multifold impact, having both physical and psychological effects, erasing in extreme cases female identity itself. The aim of this article is to offer insights into how sickness is depicted as a menace that leaves female characters deprived of any power they might have by affecting their appearance, which is the main indicator of their social identity and the key instrument they can use to establish and maintain relationships, and by taking away their ability to control themselves and how they are seen by others.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="70389633"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="70389633"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 70389633;

However, the author of this article considers the above-mentioned approach is not fully effective, as students need to focus not only on language concepts, but also on elements related to the development of their critical thinking skills when preparing and delivering speeches.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="996ce0fc4cb2dc7dc0a83594afb2e0da" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":38109745,"asset_id":13715209,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/38109745/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="13715209"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="13715209"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 13715209;
