MOTIVATION AND UNCERTAINTY IN SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION: COHERENCE AND DISRUPTIONS IN ONLINE COMMUNICATION WHILE LEARNING ROMANIAN IN NORTH MACEDONIA
Main Article Content
Abstract
Recent initiatives to promote digital education exhorting in literacy and soft skills as computational thinking have required redefining curricula, teaching and learning methods adapted to a new channel of communication. Less attention has been paid to the psychological dimensions of learning and teaching Romanian as a second language, especially to language awareness and motivation of learners in the field. Beginning with what is generally known as communication schemata and ethnography of communication this article analyzes the strategies used in a narrow strip of learning and teaching Romanian as a foreign language in North Macedonia through online classes and workshops of lexicography and translations.
