Abstract

The use of new technologies in language teaching has a positive effect both on the teaching process itself and on the motivation of students. Today’s students are not satisfied with the teaching material they use in class, they need additional support and motivation, additional engagement within their field of interest, which is the digital world. If we offer them appropriate platforms, applications and opportunities for their improvement outside of institutional learning (which is the basis for any further advancement), it is possible to achieve exceptional results. The aim of the paper is to examine students’ attitudes about the use of additional materials in Romanian as a foreign language teaching both in Serbia and Romania, at the University of Novi Sad and the “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iași. In the course of the winter semester of the academic year 2021/2022, students used the Campster platform and the courses on it, which were free to use. Two groups of students, one from each country, participated in the survey of students’ attitudes.
