Students’ Evaluation of a Romanian Language Textbook

The purpose of the paper is to present the results of the evaluation of a textbook for teaching Romanian as a foreign language from the students’ perspective. We started our research from the key assumption that this type of assessment can provide useful information in Romanian language teaching and help teachers to improve teaching materials.Following the administration of an evaluation grid, which included five sections, quantitative data were analyzed and were interpreted.Regarding the students’ opinions, it was noticed that most participants indicated that the topics included in the textbook are presented in a logical and organized manner. Students noted that grammar and vocabulary sections are presented in order of increasing difficulty, covering a variety of topics.The main conclusion of our study is that one textbook is not enough to meet the students’ needs and their opinion on the used study materials can provide real help in teaching.
