Abstract: (The didactic exploitation of texts belonging to biomedical sciences in teaching specialised language to the Preparatory Year of Romanian – comprehension strategies) The challenges met when teaching RFL could be overcome, during the first stages of the learning process, through the means of plurilingual competence. Our approach analyses the way in which the intercomprehension and the intuitive learning specific strategies facilitate message comprehension and contribute at a lexical extent to a faster acquisition of specific terms belonging to the biomedical domain. This perspective is sustained by the fact that the international students who learn Romanian know at least one international language (English or French) and also by the fact that the specialised texts belonging to biomedical sciences include international technical terms which have transparent meaning. As mediating instrument for understanding texts with specialised language, we propose an example of learning activity which actively exploit linguistic resources known by the students.
