Currently, both pre-university and university education are in continuous methodological ascent. Quality teaching and learning in the university system is a valuable concern. In this article we will put a strong emphasis on the role of motivation and individual support as basic principles of the teaching-learning-assessment process. Focusing on the resource materials developed by the Department for International Projects in Education of the Pedagogical University of Zurich, we will discuss the key characteristics of successful teaching from the perspective of didactic research, in Romanian language and literature lessons in IPLMN (Institutions with teaching in national minority languages): learning atmosphere, group management, effective time, motivation, performance expectations, content quality, pacing and articulation, diversity of methods, etc. A student who will benefit from quality teaching-learning, will go to school with the same pre-determined important goals.
