Motivating future social assistants in learning special terminology [Articol]

Abstract

Essential political, economic and social changes that occurred in the society during the last three decades have urged representatives of many professions to master a foreign language. Nowadays a skilled social assistant is supposed to operate with special terminology in at least one international language, as social welfare has become a global issue involving collaboration within a multinational team. During our research we have made an attempt to define specialized vocabulary as well as briefly examine the objectives of teaching special terminology, some principles that should be taken into account both by teachers and learners, as well as considering specific factors and employing strategies in order to raise motivation in university students.
