Abstract: Abstract: A research of the various curricular models in Romania based on the principle of innovation has revealed inexplicable deficiencies at a national level from the perspective of planning these models on the basis of two basic principles: the learners' needs and the adaptation to the specificity of each discipline. Our paper briefly presents a series of curricular models for teaching languages that have been successfully implemented in various countries with efficient results and which we propose as a solution for the Romanian impasse. The common denominator of the selected models that seems to have ensured their success is the concentration on developing competences and implementing the "new" after a thorough analysis of the needs of both agents of innovation (teachers) and subjects of education (students). After the presentation of these models we also propose a readjusting of priorities that have to place the learners' and teachers' needs at the peak of th!
e pyramid and that have to start from the practitioners (teachers) towards the institutional policy makers. We also attempt offering our own model of an integrative innovative curricular model that wishes to offer solutions to the problems arising in implementing an innovative model of teaching languages taking into consideration the participants (the individual – the students, the teachers –, the work group, the organization), the hindering factors that their attitudes, behaviours, goals, etc. might trigger and the solution to such problems. The study was unfolded in CNCSIS – TE 282/July 2010 "INOVACOM – Curricular innovations for the development of the pedagogical competencies of teachers of Romanian language and communication through initial training programmes for teachers".
