The problem of everyday scientific language is gaining in importance both in today's linguistic and language didactic research. It will also be central to today's science conception. From the perspective of the current Anglophone scientific community, the article discusses the effects of some standards in scientific practice – including the quantification culture – on publication practices and the associated displacement of the traditionally multilingual European scientific culture. In this context, some measures are discussed that can reduce the influence of English, e.g. in the humanities. In general, this also touches on the question of what effects the language changeover in science will have on smaller research communities and languages.

The aim of this study is to analyze the verb collocations of the word “crisis” both in German and Romanian, through the lens of DaF teaching. The 24 German and 22 Romanian verb collocations of the analysed word were determined both from the dictionaries and with the help of specific instruments for determining the statistically significant combination partners of search words in corpora. The verbal combinations are analysed in terms of action-oriented DaF teaching by relating them to the communicative needs of a foreign language learner. From a phraseological point of view, more than half of the analysed word combinations function as collocations.

Considering the constant concern expressed by worldwide policy makers and regulatory bodies in the education sector for the need to adjust learners’ knowledge, skills and competencies in an attempt to meet the 21st century challenges, one could no longer consider learning effective unless it is voluntary, self-motivated and a lifelong practice. For a long time now, teaching has gone beyond the bare conveyance of information, with the educators permanently striving to apply modern teaching methods and strategies, to ensure relevant and sensitive content, to not overlook students’ learning profile and to include relevant global social issues in all their teaching. This paper researches and presents a case study showing relevant data on students’ individual consolidation habits in terms of: students’ motivation to continuous self-improvement, frequency of self-study activities, preferred method/activity and desire to improve, against the author’s endeavour to raise students’ awareness of the importance of building self-study habits. The paper foregrounds the exploitation of conceptual and applied methods in LSP teaching, with the purpose of enhancing students’ predilections towards individual consolidation of newly-acquired knowledge. The beneficiary target group consists of first-year Economics students from the Bucharest University of Economic Studies - ASE, Romania, majoring in Management and Finance and Banking.

As intensive motherhood is considered as the most influential contemporaneous maternal model, especially in Western societies, but also in other parts of the world, a succinct exploration of the cultural genealogy of this concept is carried out, with the purpose to shed light on its past and present meanings and effects for women. Navigating through the sets of social values, norms and expectations formed in different stages of the history regarding the role of women, we become more able to assess the current implications of intensive motherhood not only for working women, but also in terms of social and gender relations, focusing our attention both on the strengths and to the possible negative implications of the concept.

The paper aims to examine the multilingual requirements and opportunities arising in 21stcentury higher education, in general, and in the case of Romania. After providing a brief description of key concepts and trends in the internationalization of higher education both at the international and national level, the paper focuses on a selection of Romanian universities to exemplify their efforts in this respect, by referring to the internationalization aspects they target, the multilingual opportunities they offer for students, as well as their efforts regarding the internationalization of research undertaken by their academic communities. Throughout the paper, we refer to the need for proficiency in foreign languages, which underpins all and any efforts towards enhancing internationalization.

Indian women have been writing for millennia but their voices have been lost in a male dominated conservative world. This is being remedied by scholars who wish to provide readers and students of literature with a balanced view of literature as an activity undertaken by both men and women. This provides women readers, students and academics with selfesteem when they realise that women have been writing for ages and literature has not just been written by DWEMs (Dead White European Males). Women’s writing should be moved to the centre of literary discourse from the margins where it has stagnated for centuries. For men it provides a corrective to a male centric world, which can also restrict men with stereotypes of expected masculinities.

Our article starts from the assumption that the ingredients of success in the case of the Indian cultural products are based on their “cultural value”. India’s value of cultural products is multidimensional and it does not strictly reside at the language level known by the public or by just part of it. Our analysis shows that the success of India’s popular culture is based on the perception of Romanian audiences of them as a cultural “mix” between the “local” (that is, Indian) elements and the appeal at a set of “global” (universal) values. More precisely, in the case of Romanian audiences for India’s cultural products (TV series) there was a validation of theories regarding the cultural hybrid motivations involved in media consumption, theories about the importance of cultural proximity in the consumption of popular culture’s products and theories emphasizing globalism and of these cultural products, making them desirable and wanted world-wide.
