Abstract

The work “The Evaluation of Written Communication Competences in Romanian Language – primary cycle (EVRO-P3)”, issued in Cluj-Napoca, at Casa Cărții de Știință Publishing House, 2015, of 232 pages, has as authors a group of experienced specialists in this field: Anamaria Radu, Ioana Sonea, Ștefania Tărău, under the coordination of Elena Platon.

The proposed theme is to carry out some new perspectives regarding the evaluation of written communication competences in Romanian language at the primary cycle. The authors present up to date teaching methods and strategies, able to revolutionize the didactic process, following the pupils' awareness “related to the fact that not only the formal learning of reading-writing constitutes the learning object, but, most of all, the acquisition of some reading efficient strategies which would lead them as soon as possible to the meaning”, as it has been noticed by the scientific director of EVRO project, university lecturer doctor, Mrs.Elena Platon in the book Preface. To ensure that this perspective change would function, first of all, it is necessary the teachers to master those reading strategies which prepare the pupils to understand exactly the meaning of a text, also to accustom the pupils to offer feedback during the writing of a text, so that they would get solutions to the possible difficulties they meet. The work proposes a change concerning the evaluation perspective and regarding the attitude towards testing act in general, which instead of being accompanied by feelings of fear, of stress, even by emotional blockages, it is better to become a stimulus in acquiring some progressively improved results.
