Abstract: The present article aims at identifying the role of foreign language competences on the Romanian labor market. To reach this goal, we have conducted a survey on the latest market trends as recorded by key publications such as Adevarul.ro, Cariereonline.ro, Outsourcingportal.eu, Revistabiz.ro., Spiegel.de, Wallstreet.ro, Ziarul financiar. We have selected data on the most important foreign investors in Romania in the last decade, the presence of multinationals on the Romanian market, the employers’ needs with respect to employees’ foreign language competences. We have placed these data against the background of language education at university level, and explored the blended-learning options in the process of teaching and learning foreign languages. The reader is also kindly invited to consider the previous article (“Foreign Language Education in ASE Bucharest – A Quantitative Approach”), for a more detailed analysis of recent trends in higher education curricula on foreign languages for professional purposes.

Keywords: lifelong learning; foreign languages for professional purposes; labor market needs; foreign investors in Romania. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
