The year will be marked by an impressive series of events and initiatives which we hope will result in the increasingly active promotion of both foreign language teaching andthelinguisticdiversitycharacteristicofEurope.Indeed,the issue of languages is unquestionably at the heart of the development of a Europe synonymous with culture and citizenship. Furthermore, it has now been formally stated that the command of at least two foreign languages by the time young people complete school should be a cen- tral objective enabling all citizens to derive full benefit from their right to free movement and actively contribute to better mutual understanding among the peoples of Europe. From this standpoint, the comparative study carried out by Eurydice constitutes an original and excep- tionally rich appraisal of the teaching of foreign languages in the 29 countries taking part in the Socrates programme. It is both a timely and essential reference work on the subject, and I wish to express my warmest thanks to the Network for this vital contribution to improved mutual understand- ing between European countries on a topic attracting such strong common interest. This is, indeed, the most conpprehensive study on the teaching of foreign languages to have been completed hitherto at European level. It contains a detailed analysis of the way teaching in this area is organised, the approaches and content of curricula, arrangements for the training and recruitment of teachers and the ini- tiatives developed within education system to provide linguistic support to minority languages. The book is all the more valuable for placing in a historical perspective the many reforms carried, out in this area over a period of several decades. These changes bear witness to the steadily increasing importance attached by national poli- cies to the teaching of foreign languages. The account of actions undertaken at Community level since the launching of the Lingua programme is yet a further reminder of the Union's commitment in this field. The book thus provides a guide to the steadily increasing effort invested at all levels in the promotion of for- eign language learning. Special mention is made of the way in which pedagogical research is taken into account in approaches recommended in the curriculum, as well as the inclusion of languages among the com- pulsory subjects from the earliest years of primary school in many countries and the increased mobility of teach- ers towards countries speaking the language that they teach. However, further progress is still required to pre- vent the personal and professional development of each of us from being thwarted by linguistic barriers. In this respect, a few questions merit further consideration: what is required to ensure that the consis- tently strong preference among pupils for learning English, or even the status of English as the first com- pulsory foreign language, do not compromise preservation of the linguistic and cultural diversity of Europe? How is one to effectively overcome recurrent urgent problems relating to the recruitment of teachers skilled in languages? How can one be sure that recommended new teaching methods will really be put into practice in the classroom? These questions call for answers both in terms of the resources that should be earmarked for the in-service training of teachers and the adjustments 'that have to be made to the organisation of teaching as such. In this respect, Community action is essential. It is for this reason that the Commission will continue to encourage and support action by the Member States and ensure that the linguistic and cultural diver- sity of Europe remains one of its top priorities.

  • Is the EU Accession a Critical Juncture for Romania's Language Policy?
    MARÁCZ, LÁSZLÓ PHD [email protected] assistant professor (Department of European Studies, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands) Is the EU Accession a Critical Juncture for Romania’s Language Policy? ABSTRACT In the course of history, Romania’s Transylvania was the home of a number of different ethno- linguistic groups, including Hungarians, Romanians, Germans, Jews and Roma among others. After the First World War, and particularly during the last decades of the communist regime, however, pressures to create a highly centralized, uniform, monolingual state with the Romanian language as its only official language have largely increased. This uniformizing French style Jacobin language policy became a key element of the Romanian state tradition, supported by the make-up of its institutions and legal provisions. As a consequence, the languages of Romania have been ordered hierarchically with the official Romanian language outranking the different minority languages, including Hungarian, German, Roma, Ukrainian, Slovakian, Serbian, Bulgarian, Ruthenian, Russian and so on. In this framework, the minority languages could be used at a local and regional level only. However, minority language use was restricted by language laws, thresholds and other hampering measures. The country’s accession to the European Union (EU) in 2007 has been celebrated as a critical juncture challenging the canonical top-down Jacobin state tradition and its exclusive language policy with respect to the minority languages. The analysis presented in this paper will weigh the pro’s and contra’s of this claim. It will be concluded that although minority languages have received more recognition under the new EU order than under former Romanian nationalizing regimes, like the preceding post-communist and communist rules, the implementation of a permissive minority language policy still shows serious deficiencies.

  • Are Traditional Minority Languages a Bench Marking for the Rights of Migrant Languages in the European Union?
    HOUTKAMP, CHRISTOPHER [email protected] PhD candidate (Department of European Studies, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands) MARÁCZ, LÁSZLÓ PHD [email protected] (Department of European Studies, University of Amsterdam) Are traditional minority languages a bench marking for the rights of migrant languages in the European Union? ABSTRACT In this paper a normative position will be defended. We will argue that minimal territorial minority language rights formulated in terms of the personality principle referring to traditional minority languages granted in the framework of the European Union (EU) are a benchmark for non-territorial linguistic rights. Although territorial minority languages should be granted collective rights this is in large parts of Europe not the case. Especially in the Central and Eastern European Member States language rights granted to territorial languages are assigned on the basis of personal language rights. Our argumentation will be elaborated on the basis of a comparative approach discussing the status of a traditional territorial language in Romania, more in particular Hungarian spoken in the Szeklerland area with the one of migrant languages in the Netherlands, more in particular Turkish. In accordance with the language hierarchy implying that territorial languages have a higher status than non-territorial languages both in the EUs and Member States’ language regimes non- territorial linguistic rights will be realized as personal rights in the first place. Hence, the use of non-territorial minority languages is conditioned much as the use of territorial minority languages in the national Member States. So, the best possible scenario for mobile minority languages is to be recognized as a personal right and receive full support from the states where they are spoken.

  • Pluguşorul (“Little Plough”) and Semănatul (“Sowing”) – Music Categories Belonging to Carol Singing As a Folklore Genre
    Bulletin of the Transilvania University of Braşov Series VIII: Performing Arts • Vol. 7 (56) No. 1 - 2014 PLUGUŞORUL (“LITTLE PLOUGH”) AND SEMĂNATUL (“SOWING”) – MUSIC CATEGORIES BELONGING TO CAROL SINGING AS A FOLKLORE GENRE. AREA OF DÂMBOVIŢA C. BOGHICI1 S. BOGHICI2 Abstract: The Romanian carol is still enjoying a great popularity, appearing as a great variety of customs, traditions and faiths transmitted from generation to generation. The customs called Pluguşorul and Semănat are part of the winter repertoire and take place between 24 December and 7 January, belonging to the carol genre. The customs related to the archaic plowing and sowing are some of the oldest and most beautiful Romanian traditions, pursuing to assure - through imitative magic - the abundance and welfare of the Romanian villages’ inhabitants. Their origins get lost in the darkness of history – coming probably from the Thracians, Agathyrsi (the Dacian’s ancestors), and Getho- Dacians, whose musical talent was mentioned by the great scholars of those times. While Pluguşorul (Little Plough) and Plugul Mare (Big Plough) are practiced on New Year’s Eve, Semănatul (Sowing) takes place on the following day, on Saint Basil’s Day, marking in this way the beginning of a new agricultural year, through magical acts meant to trigger the earth’s fertility. The organization in groups, the ritual, the structural elements (lyrics, melody, rhythm, ambitus, archaic sound systems), the props (petadou /friction drum, oxen, plough) suggest the whole unfolding of the agricultural works in the rural archaic communities, starting with plowing, sowing, reaping and grinding of the wheat out of which the bagels that reward the carol singers are made.

  • Part 5: Language
    PART 5: LANGUAGE The Romanian immigrant came to Alberta not being able to speak English or French. They spoke Romanian - a Latin-based, romance language. This beautiful language was created by the mixing of Latin spoken by the Roman soldiers and colonists with that of the inhabitants of ancient Dacia - now Romania. The pioneers spoke a pure Romanian with some words particular to a Bucovinian dialect. It revolved around the home, culture, agriculture and the Church. Ancient songs and verses were passed on, generation to generation, and memorized by the peasants. The pioneers had learned to read and write Romanian in schools in the then Austrian-Hungarian Empire. In Canada many people mistakenly state that Romanian must be close to Ukrainian. This is not so. The Romanian language is close to Italian, French, Spanish and Portuguese. Canadian Romanian borrowed from English some Words for newly invented things which they had not seen before. The Romanian spoken by peasant pioneers was the same pure conversational Romanian spoken by the Romanian people for almost two thousand years.
