corpus-assisted-analysis-of-acquisition-of-english-interrogative-and-negative-forms-by-macedonian-learners-of-english 2021 2 This article aims to provide an overview of the verb forms non-native learners of English use in the
process of acquisition of interrogative and negative verb forms. It also explores the influence of the first
language (Macedonian) on the acquisition of English as a foreign language. The research is based on data
taken from the Macedonian Corpus of English Interlanguage, which contains written language of students
aged 8-15, A1-B2 level according to the Common European Framework of References for Languages. As
the research shows, negative forms are easily acquired, with significant decrease of errors in B1 and B2
level. Similarly, learners also have no difficulties in acquiring interrogative forms. Students at this age
easily acquire these forms, and teachers may also expect them to acquire other, rather complex English
structures with no explicit explanation, primarily due to the frequent usage of these structures.
Nevertheless, the number of errors remains stable across all levels. In addition, there is minimal influence
of the mother tongue. Errors could that are a result of transfer from the mother tongue may also be treated
as developmental errors, since they also appear in learners with mother tongues other than Macedonian.
The existence of developmental errors proves that language learners have their own interlanguage. Such
errors help teachers adjust their expectations and teaching methods.

word-knowledge-and-the-theory-of-meaning-types-a-case-study-on-old-literature-and-beowulf 2021 2 The issue of knowing a word and understanding the different contexts in which a word might be
found in a foreign language, is one that has been regarded as crucial for the comprehension of written
and spoken language. For quite some time now teachers in the field of teaching English have argued
that it is very difficult to deal with and teach vocabulary and words in the foreign language, especially
those involved with specific terminology. This is normally due to the level of frequency in their
usage, the period of time in literature, the different meanings an individual word might have and the
many definitions it is made of. This paper attempts to narrow down some conceptions and
misconceptions regarding the issue and to provide insights, both theoretically and practically. The
study was conducted at SUT (State University of Tetova) with university students of the English
Department. Students are of both genders (male and female) and of mixed nationalities (Albanian,
Macedonian and Turkish) between the ages 19- 21. The number of students that participated are a
total of 50 first year students. The instrument used in the study is a questionnaire consisting of three
parts: reading comprehension (interpreting knowledge and analysis), Bloom’s Taxonomy and a postreading survey. The main aim of this questionnaire is to test students’ level of academic reading in
different periods of literature, with different tones and styles and normally different terminology (Old
and Modern English). The procedure, results and findings will be further elaborated in the paper.

self-assessment-as-an-important-tool-for-the-teachers-formative-assessment 2021 2 The inclusion of students in the assessment process is a vital and essential part of the process
of evaluation. This kind of method is integrated with learning or teaching and when students
evaluate their own performances, the responsibility for the level and quality of their learning
remains more in them than the teacher. Self-assesment can improve the efficiency of
learning. It helps in developing the ability to analyze and form critical attitudes towards the
learning process. Self-assessment offers an opportunity for students to undertake the
responsibility for their own learning and it also contributes to giving a more pronounced
sense of ownership of what they learn. The aim of the research was to investigate whether
teachers give priority to self-assessment as an important tool for the teacher’s formative
assessment. Several methods were used: inductive, deductive, comparative and a statistical
method. The data collection instrument was a questionnaire for teachers, and a questionnaire
for students.120 teachers and indicate that this process makes students more independent in
the way they learn and take responsibility for their learning.

observation-of-teaching-methodology-in-english-language-teaching-classroom-a-case-study-in-five-high-schools-in-albania 2021 2 The acquisition of a Second Language, particularly English, has mainly one purpose, that one of
achieving communication skills. Therefore, the need for good communication skills in English, has
increased the demand for English language teaching all around the world nowadays. A good
communication skill is only achieved when we have an accurate command of the language. There are
a lot of people today who want to improve their level of English and there are a lot of ways to learn
English. First of all being instructed in school, moreover travelling, study abroad or even through
media and internet. There is an increasing demand for English which has created an extremely high
demand for quality language teaching, materials as well as resources. As McKay (2002) emphasizes,
English is the language of globalization, international communication, commerce, trade, tourism, the
media and pop culture and there are different motivations for learning it. Therefore, the demand for an
appropriate teaching methodology is as high as ever.
English teaching in the Albanian context was dominated by grammar and translation teaching method
in the 1970s. Later, until the 1990s, there was an improvement on English teaching methods. Since the
1990s, Albanians grew a lot of interest in studying English as a foreign language. New methods were
introduced in 2000s which included vocabulary, reading, grammar, language functions, and
pronunciation practice.
Despite the evolution of the new English curriculum, the state of English teaching in Albania remained
based on traditional methods. The aim of this study is to evaluate the English Language Teaching
methodology used in the Albanian High Schools as well as it is an attempt to recognize how the
modern methodologies develop students’ communicative competence, but also to examine the impact
of implementation of innovative teaching approach on students’ motivation and its effectiveness with
regard to how the language is taught.

extra-curricular-activities-as-an-incentive-for-student-creativity 2021 2 Creative teaching and learning as a prospective and innovative approach represents a challenge for both
teachers and students. The school should provide support for the development of students’ interests,
abilities, and talents as well as incite participation in extracurricular activities. The subject of this study is
the role of extracurricular activities as an incentive for student creativity. The main focus of this paper
will be the extent to which extracurricular activities influence student creativity. The research relies upon
polling and the descriptive analytical method and uses a survey sheet for students as the main instrument.
The data is then processed through quantitative analysis. The data is first gathered and sorted then
represented in a chart and evaluated. Extracurricular activities have a great impact on the development of
children’s interests, abilities and creativity which in turn help to overcome the limitations of the
obligatory curriculum. Therefore, teachers should strengthen their competence and carry out focused
extracurricular activities, especially when it comes to activities that are not in the scope of their formal
education.

diverse-voices-for-diverse-experiences-what-can-post-bellum-pre-harlem-writers-teach-secondary-students 2021 2 Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o remarked almost forty years ago that “[l]anguage carries culture, and culture
carries, particularly through orature and literature, the entire body of values by which we come to
perceive ourselves and our place in the world [...] at their entire relationship to nature and to
other beings” (1986 [1992], 16). Although his comment originated in post-colonial literary
thought within an East African linguistic context, these words retain increasing significance
today and are more broadly applicable to any sociologically-informed literary discussions in the
American classroom. To this end, the literature of the Post-Bellum, Pre-Harlem (cf. Chesnutt
1931, inter alia) offers a window into the complex sociocultural, historical, and political context
of the United States in the late eighteenth and early twentieth centuries, which had previously
been defined as the Black Nadir. Accordingly, this paper presents the results of a four-week
instructional unit, which took place in a tenth-grade English classroom at a semi-suburban high
school in north-central New Jersey, that required students to read and engage critically with
James Weldon Johnson's (1912 [1927]) The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man. Most
importantly, the present study advocates a departure from ‘interpretation by free association’
(Reader Response Theory) and, instead, proposes a more nuanced understanding of the United
States at the fin de siècle through student-driven questioning of and conversations about the
sociological, cultural, historical, linguistic, and literary dimensions of such works.

dystopia-utopia-and-anthropology-on-the-crossroad 2021 2 Krotz (2018) argues that the interest in different societies and therefore, the variety of forms of
organizing human life are shared by, what seem to be distinctive forms of knowledge, anthropology
and utopia. According to him, the category of alterity is what brings them closer and makes them
complement each other. This paper looks into the similarities between the dystopian literary genre and
cultural anthropology. It does so, by looking at some of the contemporary problems that cultural
anthropology treatsand the themes of dystopian literature. The origins of the dystopian novel go back to
around 1880s, marked by the strong intervention of sciences in human life. Most of these dystopian
novels, talk about the perils of technology, technocracy and its controlling power. It is interesting to
analyze then, that much of the contemporary problems that anthropology deals with in the 21st century,
fall within the realm of dystopian literature. The rising trend of new dystopian novels can offer
foundations for a vision, whereby dystopian literature can serve as a warehouse of topics from which
social anthropology can borrow in its active engagement with contemporary global issues and the new
human condition. Comparing the motives of dystopian literature, its questioning of the moral and
human aspects of war, science, violence, technology, etc, with the most recent issues that contemporary
cultural anthropology deals with will be the primary focus of this paper. The aim to show the strengths
of this interdisciplinarity for a critical grasp of the contemporary human condition, underpins this work.

challenge-or-perpetuation-of-gender-sterotyping-in-hamlet-othello-and-the-taming-of-the-shrew 2021 2 Female characters in Shakespeare’s tragedies are portrayed as weak and feeble; however, a deeper reading of the text reveals that they are actually aware of their inferior position. All Shakespearean female characters are designed in such a way so that they fit into their social role, but what is also very significant is that Shakespeare gave hints of women who are not as fitting as they seemed. The purpose of this article is to look at a selected number of female characters in Shakespeare’s best known tragedies and his comedy The Taming of the Shrew in order to investigate his treatment of the female in the the patriarchal social context. This paper also aims at identifying the extent to which Shakespeare challenges the patriarchal gender stereotyping as a mode to criticize the same.

rereading-the-great-gatsby-in-the-post-pandemic-world-hope-disillusionment-and-social-changes-then-and-now 2021 2 Published in 1925, the novel The Great Gatsby was considered to be a failure initially and viewed as
one of the greatest works in American literature presently. The novel, inspired by a relationship
between F. Scott Fitzgerald and a young socialite, captured the spirit of the Jazz Age, the wild and
glittering parties common in the elite society of the time and the spirit of the roaring twenties, a
decade which was marked by the end of the Spanish flu pandemic and the World War 1. World War 1
killed millions, both soldiers in combat and civilians. The Spanish Flu pandemic death toll was even
higher – an estimated number of between 20 up to 50 million people, most of them young and
healthy, died after contracting the virus. The novel depicts the restlessness of the generation of people
who survived two cataclysmic events, the society grappled by profound changes and the
disappointment and disillusionment in the American Dream. The article was written in June 2021,
during the summer when most countries joyously greeted the ease of COVID-19 restrictive measures
and the rise of hope after vaccination rollouts started in many countries. As we reread The Great
Gatsby, we might ask ourselves about the future of our post-pandemic world. Will we learn
something from the past? Can we expect the roaring 2020s? Will we see the same joy, the same
recklessness and the carpe diem of the roaring 1920s? Will we return to the pre-pandemic normal –
the consumerism, the lack of consideration for the environment, the greediness which brought us here
to begin with?

and has various of meanings. Given that the educational value of literature is indisputable, it enriches
the mind and humanizes the soul in providing knowledge, intellectual stimulation and emotional
insight. Literary genres in children's literature used for educational purposes, should aim to provide
children with a spectrum of national and cultural values. Children's magazines, as a literary genre,
enhance significantly the belief in values in children embeded within their content; guide individuals
in distinguishing between the right and the wrong, and understand the concept of belonging.

creating-online-learning-spaces-for-pre-service-teachers-a-macedonian-usa-collaboration 2021 2 This paper reports on an exploratory study of a 7-week pre-service online teaching course between a
Macedonian and a USA university. The main aim of the project was to explore teaching from new
perspectives, enable networking between prospective teachers from the two cultures and promote
teacher research among the students, while developing their global competences. The course employed
two online environments and a video-conferencing platform to facilitate interaction. It was moderated
by the students’ instructors, one from each culture. This paper outlines the structure of the course and
presents a selection of the materials which were specifically designed for the purposes of the course. It
then goes on to review the students’ learning experiences on the course. A preliminary thematic analysis
of the Macedonian students’ reflective entries revealed that they enjoyed juxtaposing their local teaching
contexts to their counterparts’, while learning about how the two contexts compared with regard to the
teaching methodologies used and the kinds of learning spaces created. The students also benefited from
learning about each other’s cultures more generally, including adjusting to each other’s time zones. This
paper rounds off with suggestions about how international online collaborative endeavours like the one
described here could be improved.
