Abstract: In the learner-centered educational process, both the curricula and the evaluation are adapted to answer the young adult learner expectations. We should keep in mind that adults hold a distinct motivation, quite different from the one we observe in children. The present paper presents a case study on 56 foreign medical students learning Romanian during the first year of their medical studies within the University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova. We used an anonymous Google form questionnaire sent through e-mail, designed exclusively for this study, comprising 14 questions regarding the skills and way of teaching of their Romanian teacher, focusing on how the teacher explains the objectives and requirements of the course, whether the teacher explains the subject clearly, if the teacher presents the material in a variety of ways and so on. The results showed that the majority of students were pleased with their teacher methods and way of teaching, with very few exceptions, namely the reinforcement of rules, whether the teacher makes the classes interesting and relevant or whether high standards and expectations are set for all students.
