2.2. Rationale of the programme for the labour market

The English Language and Literature Programme of the Faculty of Philology at the University of

Prizren "Ukshin Hoti", is designed to meet the needs of the labour market and anticipate trends

of development. Today, a good command of English is necessary for almost every job in our

country. Our programme addresses the expanded need for English teachers, English proficiency

in administrative work, and need for highly skilled translators.

Not only the region of Prizren, but the entire country of Kosovo lacks highly qualified

professionals to teach English in primary and secondary education, as well as higher education.

Piloting Kosovo’s new policy of mandating English instruction from the first grade in

elementary schools has begun. Nation-wide implementation of the policy beyond the pilot study

is suffering from several constraints, one of which is the lack of a sufficient number of English

teachers with appropriate university qualifications, especially those who can fulfill the expanded

need for early years English instruction, as is required by the new policy.

The city of Prizren has a 54-year tradition in the training of teachers. This tradition dates from

the establishment in 1962 of the Higher Pedagogical School, "Xhevdet Doda," the second oldest

center of Higher Educational Studies in Kosovo, after the one in Prishtina which was established

in 1957. the Pedagogical School started with four programmes, including English Language and

Literature. This half-century teaching legacy has created many of English teachers who spread

the knowledge of the English language in primary and middle schools for many years, but due to

Kosovo’s priority on English language instruction, even more teachers are needed. Therefore,

this programme is a continuation of the teaching tradition that has its sound roots in academic

quality and responsibility.

Only two public universities currently offer Bachelor studies in English Language and Literature

in our country, resulting in fierce competition for admission. Our programme is unique and

attracts a large number of candidates from all over Kosovo. During the last three years, the high

demand competition for enrollment in the programme resulted in a 15% admission rate.

Considering our half-century of instructional experience, the high demand for our programme,

and the urgent immediate need for additional qualified teachers for employment, Prizren’s

English Language and Literature Programme is of particular importance. It should be noted also

that there are a large number of unqualified teachers in primary, secondary and higher education

who do not have the minimal required qualifications nor specialisation to teach English.

Besides teaching, proficiency in the English language is an essential criterion for administrative

staff to serve at the local level, in government or abroad in consulates, in particular during the

process of integration into the European Union and membership in international organizations

and agencies.

Our programme is also very attractive to translators and interpreters working in international

missions and embassies in our country. Our goal is that students not only obtain a high level of

proficiency in English but also become acquainted with Anglophone culture, history, civilization,

economic and international development trends.


17

Prizren is a multicultural and multiethnic city which has facilitated a keen interest in studying

English. Among other things, the recent tourist influx, has increased the need for more English

speakers as English has become universal. An indirect impact on economic development in the

region also is aided by a widespread ability to communicate in English.

2.3. International comparability of the programme

Contents of the study programme in English Language and Literature is comparable to BA

programmes of English studies as a foreign language both inside and outside anglophone

countries. The programme is comparable to the study programmes of English as a Foreign

Language at the University of Zagreb, University of Ljubljana, University of Iowa, University of

Tirana and Marmara and Boğaziçi universities.

2.4 Target group to whom the programme is dedicated

Given that English is the common thread for each field, our programme is dedicated to all those

who are interested in a career in teaching, translation, local and international institutions, etc.

Graduates of this programme have been employed in multiple fields in jobs that require an

advanced knowledge of English language and culture. Gainful employment available for

graduates include work in diplomatic missions abroad in Kosovo embassies, in foreign EU office

missions in Kosovo or any other UN agency, foreign embassies in Kosovo and in various other

arenas in the public sector. The programme is also appropriate for those who decide to become

self-employed in the cultural sector, providing technical or literary translation, events and

conference organization, or work as lecturers, editors and journalists.

2.5 Orientation of the study programme according to the leading principles of the

institution (mission statement)

See attached the institution's mission statement.

2.6. The aim and profile of the study programme

The Department of English Language and Literature offers the B.A. programme in English

Language and Literature, which prepares graduates to meet the demands of the workforce and

for Master and Ph.D. studies in English Language and Literature.

The main subject area components of the Programme consist of linguistics (structure of

language), theoretical linguistics, written literature in English (with a particular emphasis on the

Anglo-American), history of literature, interpretation of literature, history and culture of Anglo-

American civilization, history of language, concepts and research methods of linguistics and

literature, translation theory and practice, educational leadership, discourse analysis,

methodology of teaching English as a foreign language, etc.


18

The Department of English Language and Literature also offers courses in language teaching

methodology and organises practical teaching in schools, meeting the requirements of the labour

market for teachers of English in primary, lower secondary and upper secondary schools.

2.7. Expected learning outcomes

The learning goals of this programme are:

- Introduction and familiarisation of English language students with the skills and knowledge

necessary for effective communication in a foreign language;

- Introduction of students to the culture, history, language and literature of the English-speaking

people;

- Preparation for those who plan to continue their language studies in postgraduate programmes

and for those who plan to engage in many professional fields requiring knowledge of a foreign

language;

- Theoretical knowledge of applied linguistics in English;

- Ability to use modern methods and techniques in language teaching;

- Translation skills;

- Ability to design and conduct a research study culminating in a written thesis / dissertation.

This programme aims to provide students with core competencies in English language and

literature including general linguistics, linguistic skills, literature, didactics of English as a

foreign language, English and American civilization, translation, etc.

Additional courses, classified as obligatory or elective, further enhance and increase students'

knowledge and skills in learning the English language and also help them prepare for further

postgraduate studies.

Potential employers of graduates are elementary, middle and high schools in all Kosovo, local or

international institutions and organizations, diplomatic missions and consular offices, foreign

embassies, international missions; other graduates may study or work abroad.

2.8. Relation between the theoretical and practical / experimental part of study

In order for students to be more prepared for modern requirements, this programme offers them

English language modules in a variety of fields in order to expand their knowledge and skills and

become competitive in the labour market. These regulations reflect the learning activities

organised in modules and assessed in credits that are developed over a period of four years.


19

The programme provides a total of 33 obligatory exams plus the graduation thesis. Twenty

exams are offered as elective, 3 elective courses in semester I, II, III, IV, V and VI, and 4

elective courses in semester VII and VIII. Examinations will be conducted in the form the final

assessment, as integrated exams, seminars, projects, research studies/cases, presentations, essays,

or coordinated modules.

2.9. ECTS calculation

We offer full-time studies in our programme. Lectures are offered during two semesters lasting

15 weeks each (winter semester from 1 October to 15 January, the summer semester from 16

February to 31 May).

The BA programme on English Language and Literature lasts 8 semesters. By the end of the

studies, a student must accumulate 240 ECTS. These ECTS credits are accumulated from

obligatory and elective courses. The student has an average of 21 hours per week, while the

overall workload per semester contains around 750 hours (contact hours: 315, others include

independent student work in research, projects, assignments, presentations, seminars, etc.). This

work load of 750 hours corresponds to 30 ECTS per semester (1 ECTS = 25 hours).

Bachelor studies conclude with successful defense of a thesis.

2.10. Practical work - internship

The University of Prizren has formal agreements with all public schools which ensures that

students can do their practice in all public schools. The practical work programme for students of

English Language and Literature is very important and necessary as their preparation is first

educational and later scientific.

2.11. Research plan for the study programme under evaluation

Given the current state of education in Kosovo, this programme undertakes the initiative in

providing assistance to improve the quality of education in our country. This programme will

establish a leading group of academic researchers who will teach English as well as provide

resources and support for the betterment of the public sector.

For example, faculty knowledge and research can provide a public service by critically

examining and improving upon the quality of nationally utilized English language textbooks.

The need to improve the quality of English language is dependent not only on skilled instruction

but also on high quality classroom materials. This specific plan aims to develop in three

directions:

1. Identify linguistic shortcomings of the English language textbook (the series "Exploring

English");

2. Review and develop appropriate (and cost-effective) instructor’s guides for the textbook in

question;

3. Organise training workshops for teachers to use the curricula creatively.


20

Such an undertaking from our programme, respectively from the University of Prizren, will

facilitate professional collaboration between teaching staff and those university faculty.

Welcomed by both sides, the exchange of ideas and experiences is sure to benefit the educational

system.

Reviews of curricula, normal in the developed world, are rarely conducted in Kosovo

unfortunately. This pioneering plan will encourage a more open and transparent approach to

textbook publication.

Apart from this, in the next three years we plan to conduct research to:

1. determine how much and what types of employment graduates find within one year of

graduation;

2. complete number of English teachers in the public schools and their qualifications—how

many underqualified—how many positions are left unfilled;

3. number of teachers with graduate degrees;

4. survey of hiring needs from potential local employers, etc;

5. what is the demand for English teachers for students with special needs?

The Faculty of Philology with its three departments, Department of Albanian Language and

Literature, Department of English Language and Literature, and Department of German

Language and Literature, organised a two-day scientific conference "The Albanian language and

its relations with other languages", in May 2016, in which around 50 researchers participated.

2.12. Students' registration and admission criteria

The course description

and objective:

This course aims at improving students' understanding of

English grammar through the use of the four skills - reading,

writing, listening and speaking, in order to internalize concepts

for better use in all their communication.

Grammar is treated as a necessary component of all four skills

areas, and students are encouraged to use the focal grammar

topic with each skill in every chapter.

The course also focuses on improving students' fluency, a larger

vocabulary, and the ability to express themselves by using more

complex sentence structures.

Expected results:

Students improve their command of English grammar through a

broad spectrum of activities that set them up for further study or

work in an English-speaking environment.

At the end of the course, students are expected to gain solid

understanding of grammar and of the four skills in order to

construct more-complex sentences in English.

and objective:

This basic course provides students with socio-historical and sub

discipline-oriented insights into the how and why of studying

language in general and the specifics of English in particular as a

contemporary world phenomenon. It underscores the study of

language as an object of linguistic research and exciting sphere

of human knowledge.

The course outline follows the primary textbook (Linguistics, an

Introduction to Language and Communication) closely, which is

designed to cover two elements of linguistics. First, we will deal

with aspects of the structure of human language. This falls under

the term of structural linguistics, and relates to the “system” of

the language including the basics of morphology,

phonology/phonetics, and syntax.

Secondly, we will discuss communication in society, that is the

actual realization of language speech beyond the study of

English (or human language for that matter) as a structural

subject. The questions raised here are “How do people use

language to communicate,” and “How is this knowledge

represented in and utilized in society in general, and in the

society we live in specifically (Kosovo)?

Expected results:

Introduction to Linguistics course, will:

- Introduce students to the historical development of

linguistics as a science, built on real ideas of linguistic

studies.

- Stimulate curiosity about language, what it reveals about

the human mind, and the human cultures it reflects.

- Increase ability in critical thinking, analysis, problem-


28

solving, hypothesis formulation and evaluation, and

written expression.

Upon successful completion, students will be able to:

- Recognize the most important directions of linguistics,

- Apply their knowledge in English, but also in possible

contrastive studies of English and Albanian,

- Understand and work with the basic concepts and

methodologies of linguistic science.

- Discuss language issues in an informed way with both

linguists and non-linguists.

Course Description and

objectives

(Competence)

Albanian Language I course design aims at the development of

students’ receptive and productive skills, both integrating them,

as well as focusing on separate skills in turn. Apart from

strategies and techniques for the development of language skills

(listening, speaking, reading, translation and writing in Albanian

language standard), the course will foster the development of

students’ study and language learning skills. In addition,

structures and vocabulary will be incorporated into

communicative tasks undertaken within the scope of the course,

focusing on usage rather than form. Additional component of the

course will be the development of students’ ability in using

sources and resources in order to improve their language learning

and studying skills. The course will lead students from level A2

to B1 of CEFR. Albanian Morphology course (The basic system

of Albanian Grammar and Word-formation) is a description and,

to some extent, an explanatory account of the grammatical

system of modem Albanian structure, with special emphasis on

the basic grammatical units. Students will also be introduced to

major Albanian word-formation processes, as an independent

part of Albanian Grammar, because it is widely accepted that its

study plays an important role in language learning. After

analyzing unfamiliar words students will find them much easier

to remember them, since word bases, prefixes, suffixes and

compound is an excellent mnemonic device.


33

The language described is contemporary standard of Albanian

language. To ensure active acquisition of theatrical knowledge,

various tasks and exercises are selected from various

contemporary Albanian grammar books. Exercises will give after

every lecture, in order to illustrate grammar rules by examples

which are characteristic and natural. Grammar examples are

descriptions of how Albanian words; i.e. they are a guide to help

students understand the language, not rules to be memorized.

and objective:

The “German language” course provides students with

instruction on German grammar which will be used during

communication, covering topics that will be studied during the

semester. Topics will be chosen based on the book “Schritte

international1”, units 1-3.

The four basic skills of language: listening, speaking, reading

and writing, but also grammar and vocabulary from the topics of

“Schritte international1”, will be developed during exercises.

This book is separated into units which are organized in topics.

Topics are from everyday life. These topics will strengthen the

communication skills of students by learning to respond to

different communicative situations. To develop listening skills,

during the seminar classes (exercises) students will be able to

listen to the CD of the book.

Expected results:

After completing this course, the student will be able to:

-Write different texts by adhering to writing and structural

rules of German;

-To read according to the German language rules and

understand the texts;

-Understand simple conversations and texts;

-Learn vocabulary from the “Schritte international1” book.

-To know the explained grammar from “Schritte

international1”, which serves for the purpose of communication.


The course is conducted through a combination of lectures and

seminar classes.

Through the method of conversation – working individually, in

pairs and in groups. Taking into consideration that the newest

teaching methods are based on the principle of communication,

this is how the classes will be organized. The book is also based

on the same principle. Therefore, the teaching method is student-

centered, where they will always be engaged in conversation.

During the seminar classes (exercise hours), there will be a

different book, where the students will put their knowledge from

the lectures into writing and completing the exercises.

semester. Topics will be chosen based on the book “Schritte

international1”, units 4-7.

The four basic skills of language: listening, speaking, reading

and writing, but also grammar and vocabulary from the topics of

“Schritte international1”, will be developed during exercises.

This book is separated into units which are organized in topics.

Topics are from everyday life. These topics will strengthen the

communication skills of students by learning to respond to

different communicative situations. To develop listening skills,

during the seminar classes (exercises) students will be able to

listen to the CD of the book.


44

Expected results:

After completing this course, the student will be able to:

-Write different texts by adhering to writing and structural rules

of German;

-To read according to the German language rules and

understand the texts;

-Understand simple conversations and texts;

-Learn vocabulary from the “Schritte international1” book.

- To know the explain grammar from “Schritte international1”,

which serves for the purpose of communication.


The course is conducted through a combination of lectures and

seminar classes.

Through the method of conversation – working individually, in

pairs and in groups. Taking into consideration that the newest

teaching methods are based on the principle of communication,

this is how the classes will be organized. The book is also based

on the same principle. Therefore, the teaching method is student-

centered, where they will always be engaged in conversation.

During the seminar classes (exercise hours), there will be a

different book, where the students will put their knowledge from

the lectures into writing and completing the exercises.

and objective:

The purpose of the course is to explain how English is

pronounced in the accent normally chosen as the standard for

people learning the English spoken in England. Apart from this,

the course presents information in the context of a general

theory about speech sounds and how they are used in language,

which is known as Phonetics and Phonology.

Students learn about the basics of general phonetics (speech

organs, articulation, auditory perception, acoustic phonetics and

instrumental analysis of speech) and phonology (understanding

of the concepts 'allophone" and 'phoneme"; distinctive features,

syllable structure).

Students become familiar with phonemic and phonetic

transcription. Analysis of individual English vowels and

consonants (with explanation of the main differences between

standard British and American pronunciation, and differences

between the English and Albanian sound systems) is followed by

an overview of interactions between individual sounds (voicing,

assimilation, elision) and of phonotactics (combinations of

sounds in syllable, consonantal clusters)


46

Expected results:

Students would acquire a deeper understanding on the principles

regulating the use of sounds in the spoken language such as:

- knowledge of English vowel and consonant system

- awareness of the differences between standard accents (RP and

GA)

- learning the main rules governing English pronunciation

- acquisition of skills for independent use of pronunciation

The course

description and

objective:

“Understanding Fiction” is designed on the assumption that the student

can best be brought to an appreciation of the more broadly human

values implicit in fiction by a course of study which aims at the close

analytical and interpretative reading of concrete examples. Further, the

understanding of the functions of the various elements which go to

make up fiction will lead to an understanding of their relationships to

each other in the whole construct. The course is aimed at acquainting

the student with a selection of masterpieces of fiction. The emphasis

will be on pleasures and subtlety of the details and narrative artistry

contained in the novels and short stories. The course is less a historical

survey than an intense appreciation of individual works of art.

Expected results:

Students will be able to

a) analyze and discuss fiction, understanding and appreciating

important themes and concerns of the writers and understanding;

b) appreciate the range, quality, and diversity of style in fiction.

c) identify, define, and describe the elements of fiction, such as

narrator, setting, plot, etc.

d) examine the interrelation between society and fiction;

e) familiarize themselves with various critical approaches to fiction.

and objective:

The course provides a concise introduction to the poetry of

Elizabethan and Stuart England (1558–1649). It is aimed chiefly

at undergraduate students taking courses on sixteenth and

seventeenth- century English literature (poetry).


62

The beginnings of what we now describe as ‘Renaissance’ or

‘Early Modern’ English literature precede the accession of

Elizabeth I (1558), but Renaissance literary culture only became

firmly established in England in the second half of the sixteenth

century. Similarly, while the literature produced between 1649

and the Restoration of the Monarchy (1660) could be said to

belong to the Renaissance, the unusual historical context in

which it was produced, marks the Interregnum as a distinctive

literary era.

Expected results:

Upon the completion of this course students will have acquired

basic understanding of the Renaissance culture and poetry; will

be able to consolidate their knowledge of the period’s literature.

7 Teaching methodology: Lectures, seminars, tests, presentations, final exam


and criteria:

Students must complete the readings for the selected authors and

attend all lectures. Through readings, lectures, class discussions,

and tests, students will increase their understanding of the

Renaissance poetry and culture. Further, they will refine their

analytic reading and writing, and discussion skills.

The course

description and

objective:

The course explores distinctive features of a singular form of writing,

focusing on the elements of drama: plot and structure, character,

theme(s), setting, tone, etc. in concrete works of art. Drama is written

primarily to be performed – by actors, on a stage, for an audience. But is

also literature that can be read. In some respects reading drama is similar

to reading fiction. The course will explore drama on page rather than on

stage. Fiction has a mediator (narrator) – someone standing between the

reader and the events to help readers relate to characters, actions and

meanings – whereas drama has only a few stage directions. Therefore,


69

reading drama may place a greater demand on the imagination than

reading fiction does: the reader must be his or her own narrator and

interpreter. Drama has affinities with poetry too. Plays may in fact be

written in verse; Shakespeare is an example.

Expected results:

The student will be

a) able to appreciate drama as a distinct form, which has affinities

with both fiction and poetry;

b) better prepared to use his imagination to make sense of the plot,

which is unmediated;

c) able to appreciate the representative (mimetic) character of this

form of writing for the stage and page.

d) equipped to enhance their writing and analytical skills.

No. Course: SHAKESPEARE


2 Academic Year: 3rd year; 5th semester



5 ECTS Credits: 7

6


and objective:

This course studies a number of Shakespeare plays (usually 6) in

relation to the genre they belong to, the theatrical conventions

they employ, and the themes they deal with. The texts of the

Shakespearean plays are considered as sites of cultural

production where certain ways of thinking about the world and

human relationships are endorsed, impeded, or simply set in

conflict. They are thus analyzed not as static entities but in a

dialogue with the era that produced them and with later eras that

consumed them, especially the 20th and early 21st century. The

main objectives of the course are: (1) to enable students to

understand the conditions in which Shakespeare wrote his plays

and (2) to help students relate the plays to the early modern

period and our post-modern times.

Expected results:

Upon the completion of this course students will:

acquire a detailed knowledge of Shakespeare’s works and

world,

understand the relevant dramatic genres,

understand how Shakespeare’s texts have gained their unique

position in English-speaking cultures,

know about the various ways in which Shakespeare and his


78

works are regarded today,

have a practical understanding of the manner in which

academic discourse on Shakespeare is conducted today.

7 Teaching methodology: Lectures, seminars, tests, presantations, final exam.


and criteria:

Student performance is evaluated on the basis of written exams,

papers, and oral presentations, which include:

(1) brief, take-home assignments on specific questions and (2)

a comprehensive, essay-type exam at the end of the semester.

Additionally (but optionally) students may choose to give an

oral presentation in class or to write a research paper on an

approved topic. However, the research paper option

CANNOT become a substitute for the final exam, which the

student must pass if the research paper is to be counted in the

final grade. It is noted that the take-home assignments and

participation of students in class discussions play an advisory

role (i.e., they help the instructor to form an opinion about the

student’s abilities), whereas the class presentations, the final

exam, and the research paper (if written), play a definitive

role in the student’s final grade.

and objective:

Literary phenomena of Romanticism are studied against

the backdrop of socio-political and cultural developments of the

time, so as to examine relationships of literature with major

ideological and cultural trends: the widening of legitimate

subjects of poetry (and of literature, in general, for that matter)

in Romanticism; Nature; the sensibility and the sublime; the

Byronic hero; femininity, domesticity, etc. The multitude of

literary forms and contents (topics and ideas), literary works that

mark the period are singled out for close reading and analysis,

especially works that provide a probing ground for a study of

generic issues, while anticipating modern forms.

Expected results:

1) Students should acquaint themselves with the most

prominent features of English Romanticism (see left-

hand side page);

2) They should be able to contrast and compare English

Romantic literature with European and American

Romanicism. Also Albanian Romanticism.

3) Appreciation of arguably some of the greatest poetic

works in the entire English literary canon (Wordsworth,

Coleridge, Keats).

4) Development of interpretative and research skills.


Both lectures and seminar classes. Since the bulk of the course

consists of densely rich poetry, students are expected to have

done a lot of essential reading beforehand, so that close reading

and re-reading takes place in the classroom, wherein an

inquisitive mind and a spirit of debate are encouraged.


and criteria:

Assessment will be done based on learning outcomes,

continuously, based on active participation in the classroom,

assignment performance, mid-term and final test results. The

breakdown for quantification of assessment/grading:

Attendance and engagement/active participation in the

and objective:

The objective of this course is to study leadership as it affects

the planning and the operations of school organizations.

Further, this course will develop students' knowledge and

personal skill in leadership by planning and involving others in

setting direction for schools. This course draws from literature

that defines leadership as setting and maintaining direction for


98

a group or project. Persons who lead do so with a vision and a

purpose. They encourage others to participate in the process so

decisions are shared and create change in schools that

complements the culture and values of the community it serves.

Group leaders delegate tasks appropriately and follow-up to

ensure that the tasks are completed. Leaders are effective in

planning, developing, implementing, and assessing

organizations. They exercise appropriate judgment to define a

problem, identify what criteria are relevant, determine what

criteria is most important, search for alternative solutions,

determine the timeline to be followed to complete the task, and

rank alternative solutions.

Expected results:

Upon completion of this course, students are expected to be

able to:

- define personal leadership strengths and opportunities;

- analyze the impact leadership has on organizations;

- identify competencies that contribute to leadership success; -

create a personal leadership vision.


This course is organized to improve leader effectiveness using

several intended outcomes. A range of assigned readings,

lectures, class activities, and practical assignments are planned to

assist in achieving the identified objectives of the course.


and criteria:

Students will be required to write a memo, give presentations,

prepare a seminar, participate in group discussions, and take

2.2 Research-based rationale of the Programme’s need within the labour market

The Republic of Kosovo needs qualified professionals for teaching Albanian language for elementary and secondary schools, and colleges. Albanian language is taught from the first grade in primary

schools. In accordance with the present situation, there is a need for qualified teachers.

The Albanian Language and Literature programme is unique in content and attracts a large number of candidates from the region of Prizren and it is worth noting that during the past three years the

competition for enrolment in this programme has increased. It should be noted that there are also other

public universities that currently offer studies on Albanian Language and Literature at the Bachelor

level in our country.

Besides the need for teaching and professional development with a view to employment, the

programme is of particular importance since there is a need for qualified staff to fulfil and enhance the level of teaching quality of Albanian Language and Literature.

It should be noted also that there are a large number of teachers in primary, secondary and higher education who do not have the appropriate qualification level in Albanian Language and Literature

and do not have abundant knowledge for quality teaching, because they studied during difficult times

of Kosovo, where lessons were attended outside schools/universities, and did not acquire sufficient

knowledge, information and practical experience of teaching methodology.

Besides teaching, the Albanian language is essential for gaining the culture of communication of

future teachers and those who may serve at the local level of administration, government, and consular inside and abroad.

Our programme is also attractive for those administrative clerks who know other foreign languages, as

well as interpreters and translators working in international missions and embassies in our country.

2.3 International comparison of the programme

Contents of the study programme in Albanian Language and Literature is comparable to BA

programmes of study of language and literature in other centers. The programme is comparable to the

Albanian study programmes at the University of Tirana, University of Shkodra, University of Skopje.

2.4 Target group

Given that language is an essential criterion for each field, our programme is dedicated to all those

who are interested in a career in teaching, proofreading, editing and translation in the local and

international institutions, etc. Demand for proofreading and editing in all institutions is huge and care should be increased, and official texts to be proofread in any case.

2.5 The goal and the profile of the study programme

The study programmes are based on the principles of curriculum performance that is based on the guidelines of "Higher Education Law" of the Republic of Kosovo, on legal and administrative

guidelines of the MEST, and mainly supported by the Statute of UPZ. Therefore, applying the

standards of the highest level and always based on the requirements of the Bologna system, this programme will be completed and promises to expand and guarantee quality.

2.6 The goal and the profile of the study programme

- 137 -

The Department of Albanian Language and Literature offers the B.A. programme in Albanian

Language and Literature, which prepares graduates to meet the demands of the workforce and for Master and Ph.D. studies in Albanian Language and Literature.

The main subject area components of the Programme consist of linguistics (structure of language),

theoretical linguistics, written literature in Albanian, history of literature, interpretation of literature, history of language, concepts and research methods of linguistics and literature, translation theory and

practice, educational leadership, discourse analysis, methodology of teaching Albanian, etc.

The Department of Albanian Language and Literature also offers courses in language teaching

methodology and organises practical teaching in schools, meeting the requirements of the labour

market for teachers of Albanian in primary, lower secondary and upper secondary schools.

2.7 The expected learning results The learning goals of this programme are:

- Introduction of students to the culture, history, language and literature of the Albanian people;

- Introduction and familiarisation of Albanian language students with the skills and knowledge

necessary for effective communication;

- Preparation for those who plan to continue their language studies in postgraduate programmes and

for those who plan to engage in many professional fields requiring knowledge of Albanian language;

- Theoretical knowledge of applied linguistics;

- Ability to use modern methods and techniques in language teaching;

- Ability to design and conduct a research study culminating in a written thesis / dissertation.

This programme aims to provide students with core competencies in Albanian language and literature

including general linguistics, linguistic skills, literature, didactics of Albanian language, Albanian civilisation, Phonetics, Morphology, Syntax and lexicology, dialectology, Indo-European linguistics,

Albanian language stylistics, Old literature, Romanticism, Modern literature, Literary critics.

Additional courses, classified as obligatory or elective, further enhance and increase students' knowledge and skills in learning the Albanian language and also help them prepare for further

postgraduate studies.

The goal of the programme is prepare students in the field of linguistics and Albanian literature.

Potential employers of graduates are elementary, middle and high schools in all Kosovo, local or

international institutions and organizations, diplomatic missions and consular offices, foreign embassies, international missions; other graduates may study or work abroad, or proofread texts in

Albanian language, etc.

2.8 The relationship between the theoretical and practical / experimental part of study In order for students to be more prepared for modern requirements, this programme offers them the

language modules and literature in various fields in order to expand their knowledge of language and

- 138 -

their ability to become competitive in the market. These regulations reflect the learning activities

organized in modules and assessed in credits that will be developed over a period of four years. The programme provides a total of 55 possible exams and the diploma topics. However, from a

total of 55 exams, the student should be subject only to 47 exams, which will be realized in the final

evaluation forms of knowledge as integrated exams, seminars, presentations, essays, or coordinated

modules.

2.9 Calculation of ECTS credits

We offer full-time studies in our programme. Lectures are offered during two semesters lasting 15

weeks each (winter semester from 1 October to 15 January, the summer semester from 16 February

to 31 May).

The BA programme on Albanian Language and Literature lasts 8 semesters. By the end of the studies,

a student must accumulate 240 ECTS. These ECTS credits are accumulated from obligatory and elective courses. The student has an average of 20-22 hours per week, while the overall workload per

semester contains around 750 hours (contact hours: 326, others include independent student work in

research, projects, assignments, presentations, seminars, etc.). This work load of 750 hours corresponds to 30 ECTS per semester (1 ECTS = 25 hours).

Bachelor studies conclude with successful defense of a thesis.

2.10 Practical work - internship (proven through valid agreements with business

partners)

The University of Prizren has formal agreements with all public schools which ensures that students

can do their practice in all public schools. The practical work programme for students of Albanian Language and Literature is very important and necessary as their preparation is first educational and

later scientific.

2.11. Research plan for the study programme under evaluation

Given the current state of education in Kosovo, this programme undertakes the initiative in providing assistance to improve the quality of education in our country. This programme will establish a leading

group of academic researchers who will teach Albanian language as well as provide resources and

support for the betterment of the public sector.

For example, faculty knowledge and research can provide a public service by critically examining

and improving upon the quality of nationally utilized Albanian language textbooks. The need to

improve the quality of Albanian language is dependent not only on skilled instruction but also on high quality classroom materials. This specific plan aims to develop in three directions:

1. Identify shortcomings of the Albanian language textbook; 2. Review and develop appropriate (and cost-effective) instructor’s guides for the textbook in

question;

3. Organise training workshops for teachers to use the curricula creatively.

Such an undertaking from our programme, respectively from the University of Prizren, will facilitate

professional collaboration between teaching staff and those university faculty. Welcomed by both

sides, the exchange of ideas and experiences is sure to benefit the educational system. Reviews of curricula, normal in the developed world, are rarely conducted in Kosovo unfortunately.

This pioneering plan will encourage a more open and transparent approach to textbook publication.

Apart from this, in the next three years we plan to conduct research to:

- 139 -

1. determine how much and what types of employment graduates find within one year of graduation; 2. complete number of Albanian language teachers in the public schools and their qualifications—

how many underqualified—how many positions are left unfilled;

3. number of teachers with graduate degrees;

4. survey of hiring needs from potential local employers, etc; 5. what is the demand for Albanian language teachers for students with special needs?

The Faculty of Philology with its three departments, Department of Albanian Language and Literature, Department of English Language and Literature, and Department of German Language and

Literature, organised a two-day scientific conference "The Albanian language and its relations with

other languages", in May 2016, in which around 50 researchers participated.

2.12 Enrollment and admission

Candidates meeting the following may be enrolled in the programme:

- completed 12 or 13 years of elementary and middle level, who have successfully passed state

graduation exam (for applicants from the Republic of Kosovo) and

- have completed secondary education system without state graduation exam, including candidates from Kosovo and other countries.

Selection of candidates is done based on the following criteria:

- success in high school (maximum 30 points)

- success in state graduation exam (maximum 30 points)

- success in the entry examination (maximum 40 points)

Candidates who have completed the secondary school system without school graduation exam,

including candidates from other countries, receive maximum 30 points from high school success,

while from the entry exam can receive maximum 70 points.

- 158 -

Albanian Morphology I course (The basic system of Albanian

Grammar and Word-formation) is a description and, to some extent, an explanatory account of the grammatical system of modem Albanian

structure, with special emphasis on the basic grammatical units.

Students will also be introduced to major Albanian word-formation

processes, as an independent part of Albanian Grammar, because it is widely accepted that its study plays an important role in language

learning. After analyzing unfamiliar words students will find them

much easier to remember them, since word bases, prefixes, suffixes and compound is an excellent mnemonic device.

The language described is contemporary standard Albanian. To ensure

active acquisition of theatrical knowledge, various tasks and exercises

are selected from various contemporary Albanian grammar books. Exercises will give after every lecture, in order to illustrate grammar

rules by examples which are characteristic and natural. Grammar

examples are descriptions of how Albanian words; i.e. they are a guide to help students understand the language, not rules to be memorized.

Albanian Morphology II course is also a descriptive and an

explanatory account of Albanian language words classes (parts of

speech). It is a basic guide to the grammar and usage of Albanian word-classes. In the way, it is a reference course to look up problems they

encounter in using the language forms and their manages.

The course is a self-contained course. The designed material may be presented in class in more than one way. Most of the material

conversing word-classes is organized inductively and should not

present any difficulty for the students’ understanding. Of course, we are

open to present the material in a condensed from when that is required. The language described is contemporary standard Albanian. To ensure

active acquisition of theoretical and practical knowledge, various

exercises will be selected from various contemporary Albanian grammar books, in order to illustrate grammar rules and usage of parts

of speech by examples which are characteristic and natural. In one

word, grammar examples are descriptions of how Albanian works; i.e. they are a guide to help students understand the language, not rules to

be memorized.

The 2nd cycle masters study of Computer Science and Technologies of Communication is a

two-year programme (4 semesters) with a total load of 120 ECTS credits.

The obtained professional title is: Master of Computer Science and Technologies of

Communication.

2.2. Labour Market

Actually there is no significant market research regarding the labor market relevance of this

study program. However, there is an assessment of the information and communications

technologies (ICT) sector in Kosovo conducted at the request of USAID/Kosovo.

The purpose of this activity was to assess opportunities for USAID to support Kosovo’s ICT

sector. This sector encompasses several areas of business including telecommunications, a

variety of services related to the development, customization and use of software and

hardware and services and products that are delivered via telecommunications (both voice

and data) networks.

The objectives of the assessment were to answer two questions:

Are there parts of the ICT sector in Kosovo that have significant potential for growth

in revenues and employees which could be increased if key constraints were

addressed?

How might USAID efforts to support the ICT sector benefit overall economic growth

in Kosovo?

The team used general factors typically used to identify target business sectors for economic

growth assistance. These factors were then tailored to the ICT sector based on the experience

of other economic growth projects and the characteristics of the sector. The team also used a

SWOT approach throughout the information gathering and analysis, i.e., identifying

strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats to the sector. Although it is difficult to

separate the ICT sector cleanly into independent sub-sectors, the team generally analyzed the

IT (information technology – meaning work related computer software applications and

hardware) from telecommunications (meaning the provisi

on of voice, data and video services via telecommunications networks, either Internet (IP) or

mobile phone networks).

In Kosovo there are 3 major Internet service providers (ISP) : IPKO, Kujtesa and PTK.

There are also more than ten main ICT companies operating in Kosovo (Gjirafa, Inc,

Comtrade, Komtel, iSoft, Ipko, Rrota, Cactus, ProNet, Rrota, LogicPlus, Microsoft, Kujtesa,

Ati-Kos). It appears that the key constraints for this sector are education and training;

They also come to conclusion that IT combined with the telecommunications sector appears

much stronger than the IT sector alone. They are more optimistic about the potential for this

sector to be competitive, especially when combined with an effort to strengthen the

development of value added services to take advantage of the quickly expanding mobile

phone service networks.

improvements to the telecommunications regulatory capacity; stronger sector

entrepreneurship and business skills. It is well-known that these companies have many gaps

mainly with respect to professional staff. One of the reasons may be found in poor

engineering programs offering from universities currently in Kosovo.

In Kosovo there are some Universities (public and private) which offer the different programs

in Computer Science and Technology. University of Prishtina (Mathematic Faculty and

Technical Faculty) provides two programs mainly software oriented. Technical Faculty

provides also a new program in Mechatronic, but all these programs are only partly similar to

our proposed program.

The main private Universities that provide programs in Computer Science and Technology

are UBT (University for Business and Technology), AAB-Riinvest as well as Iliria. Although

the programs of these Universities are in some relationships with some Universities from

abroad (case UBT), there is no indication of any big achievement regarding the labor market

and society needs. This first of all because the programs do not meet the requirements of

labor market.

According to USAID, Engineering schools in Kosovo may have basics, but far behind

providing tech-skills for work. Based on their analysis the IT Sector alone currently provides

only little potential economic impact but ICT is a promising sector with a great impact on the

future economic development of Kosova. Therefore, this study program aims to provide these

companies and society in general, professional staff in order to make them competitive with

similar European companies and worldwide.

2.5. Orientation of study program according to the principles of the governing the

institution

The curriculum of the program is in full accordance with the study regulations and criteria

according to the Bologna system and two semesters has compulsory and complementary

courses, while ECTS credits are divided in accordance to the importance of the subject. The

Master of Science in Computer and Technologies of Communication Program comprises the

total of 120 ECTS credits evenly distributed per semester. 60 credits are the equivalent of a

full year of study, which means that 60 credits are broken down into 30 credits per semester.

Exams are held in written form. Tests can be of two types: some alternatives questions or

answers in essay form, depending on the subject. Tests with several alternative answers

questions. Final test, as another form to complete the assessment of student knowledge are

written evaluations during lectures (colloquium) and seminar work. Colloquiums are

estimates during the lectures through which is followed the work of the student during the

learning process and knowledge acquired over a period of time. Seminars should be

submitted in written or should be presented in class in front of the students. Through them

teacher-student discussion is more open and more critical, enabling the professor to evaluate

the student's study skills and monitor performance of his/her assigned work.

2.1 Preschool Education

Expert’s Recommendations:

1. With regard to the specific focus of the study program I suggest additions in the titles

of the following courses:

• To replace ‘Albanian Language II’ by ‘Albanian Language in Preschool

Education II’

• To replace ‘Mathematics II’ by ‘Mathematics in Preschool Education II’

• To replace ‘English Language II’ by ‘English Language in Preschool

Education II

We already renamed the subjects. Please check the curriculum of the program attached.

2. Add one electable course for auditory and audio-visual media in preschool education

in the study program. An alternative could be to supplement explicitly the aspect of

auditory and audio-visual respectively digital media in the description of some

courses

We already added Digital Media as an elective course in sixth semester, please check the

curriculum.

3. With regard to systematic plausibility the titles of the last two courses have to be

corrected. My Suggestion: ‘Pedagogical Practice III (6 weeks)’ (V/3) and

‘Pedagogical Practice IV (8 weeks)’ (VIII/2).

Already corrected, please check the attached curriculum.

4. Offer three of the six elective courses of the second semester during the first semester.

We edited the curriculum and added elective course in the first semester too.

- 290 -

5. Enable staff members to dedicate more time for research and to establish research

groups.

We will encourage staff members to dedicate more time on research and we will also

establish research groups for different fields of study.

6. Improve international exchange possibilities for the staff as well as for the students

(within the limits of possible)

We applied for exchange of staff and students within ERASMUS+ program with many

partners around Europe. We are waiting for results.

2.2 Primary Education

1. With regard to the specific focus of the study program and the specific future working

field as teacher at Primary School I suggest additions in the titles of the following

courses:

• To replace ‘Albanian Language III’ by ‘Albanian Language in Primary School

III’

• To replace ‘Mathematics II’ by ‘Mathematics in Primary School II’

• To replace ‘English Language II’ by ‘English Language in Primary School II’

We already renamed the subjects. Please check the curriculum of the program attached.

2. I recommend to add one electable course for auditory and audio-visual media in

Primary School. An alternative could be to supplement explicitly the aspect of

auditory and audio-visual respectively digital media in the description of some

courses.

We already added Digital Media as an elective course in sixth semester, please check the

curriculum.

3. I suggest to offer three or four of the elective courses of later semesters (especially V,

VI and VII) during the first semester.

We edited the curriculum and added elective course in the first semester too.

4. UoPz should enable staff members to dedicate more time for research and to establish

research groups.

We will encourage staff members to dedicate more time on research and we will also

establish research groups for different fields of study.

5. Improve international exchange possibilities for the staff as well as for the students

(within the limits of possible)

2.3 Cultural Heritage and Tourism Management

1. Analyze at the next visit the progress made in improving the proportion of staff hired

on permanent basis.

Comment: We will try to improve the proportion of staff hired on permanent basis, but

depends of budgetary strengths.

2. Analyze at the next that at least 50% of the lectures are covered by a teaching

material elaborated according to the syllabus structure.

Comment: Professors are obliged to submit the teaching materials to the students in

accordance to the syllabus structure.

3. Show, at the next visit, that progresses were made in the list of publications for the

staff involved in the study program. A list of publication/ conferences/ studies

published after this year (2016) should be put at the experts’ disposal.

Comment: We agree for much more publications and research in regard of better

implementation of the program.

4. Improve the syllabus to include at least a general theme for the practical

training/exercises/applications or field studies. Provide all the syllabus in English.

Comment: Professors have to refresh and improve their Syllabus in regard of practical part

of the program (internship, study visits, archeological and tourism tours ect). Also

they have to provide Syllabus and in English except in Albanian).

5. Provide to the professors, on individual and confidential basis, a feedback from the

student’s evaluation. Very important is to see that there were progresses made from a

year to other.

Comment: Every semester we did the Professors student’s evaluation, but no any feedback

for the professors. We think that it’s good to build the applicable management policy

and to implement such a policy.

2.4 Forest and Environmental Sciences

Suggestions

1. Modify the curricula according to the advices done at the respective chapter.

2. Enhance conditions for practical trainings, through modification of the syllabus,

concluding contracts/agreements with forest owners or managers for practical

trainings and hire part-time staff with forestry diploma and experience in the field.

3. At the next, teaching material (as elaborated text, collection of dried plants, tree small

branches and fruits, etc.) should be presented.

4. At the next, half of the forestry-related disciplines are covered by an elaborated text

structured according to the detailed syllabus.

Comments

First of all we would like to thank Prof. Dr. Bouriaud Laura for her tremendous contribution

and suggestions about this study program.

After analyzing the comments and suggestions we as a committee fully agree with all of

them.

1. Admission: All corrections are done. Please have a look at the study program

attached.

2. Internship: After accreditation, we will sign agreements with all relevant institutions

in country where our students can conduct their internship. As we already discussed

during your visit, we could not have agreements without having the program.

3. Practical training: All subjects containing the practical exercises are intended to be

realized in laboratories or during experiments, also in the partner universities.

4. Curricula – Study plan: All suggestions for corrections within curriculum and

descriptions of subjects are done. Please have a look at the program attached.

- 296 -

5. In future as recommended there will be material for practice and experiments in labs

(as elaborated text, collection of dried plants, tree small branches and fruits, etc.) and

there will be literature for each and every study course.

6. As you already stated in report, we fulfill the KAA criteria regarding staff, however

after decision for accreditation we will immediately open a call for additional

academic staff.

.

1. More space for elective courses (6 instead of 3) should be provided in the program.

Necessary corrections are done. Number of elective courses are increased from 3 to

6. Please check the curriculum attached to the report.

2. ECTS and corresponding time for B.Sc.-thesis should be increased from 5 to 12.

The number of ECTS for B.Sc. thesis is increased from 5 to 12. During last semester

students will conduct internship and work on thesis.

3. An advisory board of representatives from the labour market should be established to

articulate the requirements of employers concerning knowledge and skills of the

graduates.

We think that establishment of Industrial Advisory Board is very important in

articulating requirements of employers. We will try to establish it as soon as we have

the decision for accreditation of the study program.
