SOME VIEWPOINTS OF UNIVERSITY RESEARCHERS ABOUT INTERCULTURALITY IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING

Summary/Abstract: The concept of interculturality in foreign language teaching in Albania has been introduced in the last five years and as a result a lot has been written about it. Doing a discourse analysis of university researchers and teachers can help to learn about the concept they have about interculturality which affects the quality of teaching interculturalità in Albania. The corpus analyzed in this paper includes all the papers published in "Revista Pedagogjike", published in Albania which deals with teaching issues and all the international papers related to interculturality from 2005 to 2010. The method of the written discourse analysis of the French School "analyse de discours" will be used. According to this analysis there is a great tendency to excessive theory about this issue, a lack of adapting this concept in the Albanian contexte, and not very good results in conceptualizing language textbooks that include interculturality, but there has been an increasing interest in adapting it in class practice.
