ALL’S FAIR IN THE MILLENNIAL CLASSROOM
Keywords:
language for professional purposes, selection/processing of teaching material, variety of genres/activities, motivation, attention retentionAbstract
This paper is the result of an empirical research and its aim is to emphasize the necessity for adapting the choice and processing of the teaching material in teaching a foreign language for professional purposes to the needs, abilities and sensibility of the new “millennial” generation of students. Such approach, in regard to history students, mainly involves a more selective choice of all the more various genres (types) of texts (newspaper articles, summaries, speeches, citations, memoirs, etc.) The need to introduce increasingly varied activities with the aim of achieving a dynamic, motivational teaching of a foreign language for professional purposes is evidenced by concrete text samples.
