Exploring EFL Teaching Methods and Student Perception in Lower Secondary Schools in Kosovo: A Comparative Study of Two Schools “Shaban Mazreku” in Sopijë and “Besim Ndrecaj” in Maqitevë Elshani, Sedat This study aims to examine the teaching methods employed by English language teachers in lower secondary schools to promote efficient and effective English language learning. Additionally, it seeks to explore students' expectations regarding their English learning process. Sixty students completed a questionnaire assessing their perceptions of learning English, their evaluations of their English teachers, and the factors that motivate them to learn the language. Furthermore, ten interviews were conducted with English language teachers to better understand the most commonly used teaching methodologies. The research specifically focused on gathering insights from two groups: students and teachers at "Shaban Mazreku" Lower Secondary School in Sopijë and "Besim Ndrecaj" Lower Secondary School in Maqitevë. Effective English language learning requires active student engagement, critical thinking, supplementary reading, multimedia use (such as videos), and a shift away from passive learning. Through structured lessons, students should learn to evaluate information, apply concepts, and connect new knowledge with their existing understanding. The study also investigates how teachers are adapting to the new curriculum, the challenges they encounter, and their overall perceptions of its effectiveness. Additionally, a comparative analysis of teaching experiences between the two schools will be conducted, offering valuable insights for future research in this field. Moreover, the study identifies key English language teaching methods discussed in academic literature. It also aims to provide a clearer understanding of students' perspectives and teachers' instructional approaches while offering readers a theoretical foundation on teaching methodologies.

LINGUISTIC POLITENESS: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS IN ENGLISH AND ALBANIAN BY ALBANIAN SPEAKERS Ramadani, Sala Linguistic expressions are a fundamental aspect of human communication, involving the use of language to convey respect, deference, and consideration for others. This thesis aimed to explore the importance of using linguistic expressions appropriately and to understand their precise meanings. It also investigated the difficulties and challenges respondents face when using such expressions in daily interactions. By analyzing both qualitative and quantitative data collected from native speakers, the study identified key similarities and differences in politeness strategies between English and Albanian. The research further highlighted appropriate ways of addressing others, especially elders and figures of authority. Data was gathered through an online questionnaire, which included questions about the use of linguistic expressions in everyday conversation. Findings indicated that most participants did not face significant challenges in identifying or appropriately using politeness expressions. However, the study suggests that increased use and exposure to such expressions during conversations may enhance understanding and promote more effective communication. Ultimately, the findings contribute to a deeper understanding of linguistic politeness and its implications for intercultural communication between English and Albanian speakers.

VERB PHRASES IN ENGLISH AND ALBANIAN WITH SPECIAL REFERENCES TO SPECIFIC VERBS Diana, Shala This master's thesis examines verb phrases in English and Albanian, with a particular emphasis on specific verbs, aiming to uncover structural and functional similarities and differences between the two languages. Adopting a comparative linguistic approach, the study analyzes a corpus of 56 verb phrase instances drawn from diverse sources, including literary texts, spoken language corpora, and academic publications. The methodology involves a detailed syntactic and semantic analysis, focusing on key grammatical features such as transitivity, modality, and aspect. Verbs like to be, to have, and to go, along with their Albanian counterparts, are analyzed to identify unique patterns of usage and construction, as well as shared linguistic principles. The findings highlight notable differences in the use of auxiliary verbs and modal constructions, while also revealing comparable syntactic structures in the treatment of verb phrases across both languages. These insights contribute to a more nuanced understanding of English and Albanian verb phrase typologies and hold implications for language teaching, translation, and further linguistic research. In conclusion, this thesis offers a comprehensive comparison of English and Albanian verb phrases, contributing to the fields of comparative linguistics and language pedagogy. Limitations of the study are acknowledged, and recommendations for future research are proposed to encourage more extensive cross-linguistic investigation.
