摘要：The multilingual dimension is an essential component of the Romanian education system, in the context of the European Community integration. The new social, political and cultural realities require that educational policies should be focused on performance policies, according to social needs. Thus, language policies guarantee the internationalization of learning systems, i.e. a process conceived through the inclusion of both national and international elements. Common language policies, especially in English, were imposed by the common issues in the curriculum reform, the similar skills contained in the curriculum, the skills and abilities desirable on the labor market at the international level. Regarding the perception of the English language as a “lingua franca”, this somewhat encumbers the promotion of multilingualism through the internationalization of higher education, given that most study programs are taught in English. The second part of this paper analyzes the data provided by opinion surveys conducted among the MA students attending an internationalized program, in all the partner institutions involved in the ASIGMA project, and, respectively, among the MA students enrolled in the “Anglo-American Studies” MA program of the Ovidius University of Constanta. The paper also reveals the students’ high satisfaction degree in terms of teaching in a foreign language and the awareness of the benefits that an internationalized MA program may offer to both research and professional training.
