Academic Days of Timişoara: Language Education Today is a book of the proceedings of the 3rd International Symposium “Language Education Today: Between Theory and Practice” held in Timişoara, Romania, on May 6–7, 2011, under the auspices of the Romanian Academy. It will appeal to teachers of modern languages no matter the level of instruction. The papers it contains deal with two main approaches of the teaching of languages in Europe, Asia, North America and South America: linguistics (theoretical linguistics: English, French, German, Serbian, and Swiss French; descriptive linguistics: Albanian, English, French, German, Italian, Romanian, Spanish and Serbian; applied linguistics: Albanian, Aromanian, Bahasa Malaysia, Bosnian, Croatian, English, German, Hungarian, Italian, Persian, Russian, Serbian, Spanish, and Turkish) and languages for specific purposes (Croatian, English, French, German, Japanese, Romanian, Russian, Ruthenian, Serbian, and Spanish).
