Abstract

Through this research, we analyze the learning skills, and thus competencies, needed by students during the learning process and the acquisition of a foreign language for specific purposes. The purpose of such research is not only to identify the difficulties they encounter during the learning process, but also to introduce special techniques and strategies for a specific teaching process aiming at the enhancement of communicative competence as the primary goal of the teaching/learning process. The applied method is that of a survey (40 hours of study time). We have highlighted and commented on the most common difficulties for students, based on an assessment table. In the second part of the research, based on the survey results, teaching suggestions and techniques are presented which help students to overcome obstacles and guide them to acquire learning skills toward the ultimate acquisition of specialized communicative competence. Besides the theoretical part, practical aspects of didactic activities related to the analyzed skills are presented.
