The Status

This article aims at offering a presentation – both from a diachronic, as well as from a contrastive perspective – of the teaching training programme provided by the West University of Timișoara, for future teachers of French as a Foreign Language. The training of future teachers has known two distinct stages at the above-mentioned University, in terms of chronology, content and organizing system. The connection between these stages was the Bologna Process, hence we can talk about a pre-Bologna training system and post-Bologna one. Some important landmarks distinguish these two stages, landmarks derived from different concepts regarding the training requirements for future teachers. Thus, the first stage is defined by a relatively limited number of imposed subjects of study (Pedagogy, Psychology, Teaching Methods, accompanied by an important number of practical training classes. This type of training was compulsory, and it was the only professional option of a graduate. The Bologna System once implemented; the disciplines imposed to the students’ teacher training process have a status of their own. They become optional, since teaching is no longer considered the only professional option for the graduates in Letters and French. The training as a whole consists of two main modules, one completed within the BA studies, the other, within the MA studies. Given the relatively important number of hours dedicated to this type of training, there is also a noticeable increase in the number and variety of the disciplines, both optional and mandatory. A synoptic table offers a parallel presentation of the two systems and of the dissimilarities between them. For a better understanding of the teacher training activities, the article gives a detailed presentation of both requirements, as well as of the stages of post- BA training a teacher must answer to, the status of teacher once attained: the ”definitivat” status, and the didactic degrees I and II, as well as other activities that ensure life-long training. We conclude with a presentation of the prospects of improving teacher training through the legal procedures the Ministry of Education has in view for the coming years.

As we are talking about the European experience, a special attention is paid to study and analysis of regulatory European framework. It helps to define new strategies of developing practical teacher training system, offers recommendations on efficiency of implementing innovative methods and technologies in teacher training process. According to some reports of European Commission, the effectiveness of teacher training is determined by comprehending the teaching profession and the professional development of teachers as a coherent continuum with several, interconnected perspectives, which include teachers’ learning needs, support structures, job and career structures, competence levels and local school culture. Within practical teacher training there is a special role of partner schools where a special position belongs to a school-based teacher/ educator, who does his/ her duties on the basis of a partner school. That educator teaches pupils at school and has responsibilities to support partnership with a teacher training university or college in providing the practical training of students – future teachers. It means to be a mentor/ facilitator/ cooperating teacher. It is found out that basis of training is the practical formation of qualities which are essential for the future teacher`s practical training. Students are educated to develop such pedagogical characteristics as flexibility, reflexivity, awareness of the internal ambiguity of positions and points of view, ability to take alternative decisions and to form the following basic personality traits as sociability, creativity, mobility, independence, responsibility for the personal choice, decision and the results of the teachers` activities.

Germanic Linguistics

The present article investigates foreign language teacher training quality enhancement by surveying pedagogical university students’ opinions on important aspects of the course of Introduction to Germanic Linguistics within the Educational Programme for Bachelor’s Degree in Education. The prime purpose is to study the perception of the above-mentioned optional course by Drohobych Ivan Franko State Pedagogical University (DIFSPU) students, with a focus on its content, organization and relevance to foreign language teacher training as well as on its professional competence formation efficiency. The complexity of the problems involved requires a combination of different methods, i.e. empirical, theoretical and statistical ones. 42 undergraduate DIFSPU students majoring in 014 “Secondary Education (English Language and Literature)” and 014 “Secondary Education (German Language and Literature)” took part in the experiment. The main survey tool was a questionnaire reflecting the parameters of assessing the course of Introduction to Germanic Linguistics. The data collected provides a solid basis for the revision of the course content, structure, organization, educational significance and efficiency, based on the direct participants’ assessments and comments. The students’ feedback reveals: 1) unanimous approval of the content and organizational principles of the discipline; 2) mixed opinions on its importance in the structure of the Educational Programme for Bachelor's Degree in Education; 3) variability of the course efficiency assessments. The data obtained allow for determining the conditions of an efficient implementation of Introduction to Germanic Linguistics into educational practice, such as prior familiarization of students with its aim and essence, emphasis on its applicability and optionality as well as its adaptation to the level and needs of future teachers. The data interpretation equally contributes to establishing the prospects of enhancing the course: 1) proportionalizing diverse types of educational activities; 2) increasing flexibility and variability in the educative process organization; 3) more efficiently interiorizing its content in terms of professional education priorities for future teachers of the English and German languages.
