This study aimed at investigating the effect of translation activities on students' speaking performance and also the possible translation activities that help in advancement, encourage, and stimulate learners to develop, learn and achieve English Language learning especially speaking performance. Even though students admire English Language and they are very active and interested in first step of English Language learning, they often do not find themselves involved in learning process, they do not collaborate, and their desire to be part of this process fades completely when it comes for speaking development. The main purpose of the study was to inform, investigate and also find and highlight advantages, disadvantages or impact of translation activities on learners' speaking abilities and speaking performance in general. The research was carried out in the high school ‘Qendra e Kompetencës’, Ferizaj, with three grades, 10 grade (age, 15-16), 11 grade (age 16-17) and 12 grade (age 17-18).To fulfill such an aim, the questionnaire is used as a tool for information collection, using a qualitative questionnaire, a multiple choice type, a questionnaire for learners (Appendix A) that collected data from learners opinions about translation activities and their effect on speaking ability and Questionnaire for teachers (Appendix B) that collected teachers opinions and information about translation activities used and organized in the classroom. To complete this research it has been used observation in the classroom during translation activities. The data collected from questionnaires were analyzed and presented through charts. The analysis of the questionnaire indicated that the majority of the learners believed that the translation activities are useful, interesting, creative and motivating for them, their attitudes show that translation activities help them improve speaking performance, expressing their ideas and discussing about different topics. They also found that translation activities are not organized and adequate with their learning needs and level. Concerning to the teachers responses we have noticed that translation activities, as a teaching tool, help learners transfer messages from source language in target language and vice versa and also help learners to achieve and improve speaking skills.

Ky studim ka për qëllim të hetojë efektin e aktiviteteve të përkthimit në performancën e të folurit të nxënësve dhe gjithashtu aktivitetet e mundshme të përkthimit që ndihmojnë në avancimin, inkurajimin dhe nxitjen e nxënësve për të zhvilluar, mësuar dhe arritur mësimin e gjuhës angleze veçanërisht performancës në të folur. Edhe pse studentët admirojnë gjuhën angleze dhe ata janë shumë aktivë dhe të interesuar për hapin e parë të mësimit të gjuhës angleze, ata shpesh nuk e gjejnë veten të përfshirë në procesin e të mësuarit, nuk bashkëpunojnë dhe dëshira e tyre për të qenë pjesë e këtij procesi zbehet plotësisht kur ajo vjen në zhvillimin e të folurit. Qëllimi kryesor i studimit ishte informimi, hulumtimi dhe gjetja dhe nxjerrja në pah e avantazheve, disavantazheve ose ndikimit të aktiviteteve të përkthimit në aftësitë e të folurit të nxënësve dhe të performancës së të folurit në përgjithësi. Hulumtimi u krye në shkollën e mesme "Qendra e Kompetencës", Ferizaj, me tre klasë, klasën e 10 (mosha 15-16 vjeçare), klasën e 11-të (16-17 vjeç) dhe klasën e 12-të (17-18 vjeç). një pyetësor për nxënësit (Shtojca A) që grumbulloi të dhëna nga opinionet e nxënësve lidhur me aktivitetet e përkthimit dhe efektin e tyre mbi aftësinë e të folurit dhe pyetësori për mësuesit (Shtojca B) që mblodhi mendimet dhe njohuritë e mësuesve rreth aktiviteteve të përkthimit të përdorura dhe të organizuara në klasë. Për të përfunduar këtë hulumtim është përdorur vëzhgimi gjatë aktiviteteve të përkthimit në klasë. Të dhënat e mbledhura nga pyetësorët u analizuan dhe u prezantuan përmes tabelave. Analiza e pyetësorit tregoi se shumica e nxënësve besonin se aktivitetet e përkthimit janë të dobishme, interesante, kreative dhe motivuese për ta, qëndrimet e tyre tregojnë se aktivitetet e përkthimit ndihmojnë në përmirësimin e performancës së të folurit, duke shprehur idetë e tyre dhe duke diskutuar rreth temave të ndryshme. Ata gjithashtu theksuan që aktivitetet e përkthimit nuk janë të organizuara dhe të përshtatshme me nevojat dhe nivelin e tyre të të nxënit. Lidhur me përgjigjet e mësuesve kemi vërejtur se aktivitetet e përkthimit, si mjet mësimor, ndihmojnë nxënësit të transferojnë mesazhe nga gjuha burimore në gjuhën e synuar dhe anasjelltas dhe gjithashtu ndihmojnë nxënësit për të arritur dhe përmirësuar aftësitë e të folurit.Link for e-copy: https://repository.seeu.edu.mk/sites/thesis/ThesisSharedDocs/MA_122319.pdf Record link: https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=17758 Copies

Why do students make errors when they speak and write? Should this make us feel disappointed? How can they be traced and analyzed? hi what way can we correct students' mistakes? These are just some of the questions that have turned into issues, which do not mean they cannot be included within the boundaries of a study. Or even get a conclusive or unshakable opinion. Everyone has bad language habits, hi this research with a study character we will try to give some opinions, alternatives and suggestions to our readers that will come out as a result of our hard work researching in this field. And ultimately we hope that our hard work will be "crowned" with some conclusions and generalizations that will occur as a result of many surveys, interviews and the help of many teachers and colleagues. Learning a second language (L2) is a lifelong process and it is often a challenging experience for L2 learners. English has become the L2 after it was introduced to Macedonia in the last few decades. Nowadays, it is an international language and is used as the language in international relations and in exchanging knowledge and technology. It was only since a few decades ago that it was taught to almost all school children. In general, Albanian students have been exposed to approximately nine years of learning English in primary and secondary schools.
In this research, the emphasis will be mainly on the methods and techniques so teachers can use to correct students' errors, so in this way teachers might be helpful and do everything they can just errors not to be repetitive.Record link: https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=19713 Copies

Title : Gender stereotypes in current children's English books used in elementary schools in the Republic of Macedonia : master thesis - second cycle Material Type: printed text Authors: Meleke Aliu, Dissertant ; Arta Toçi, Thesis advisor Publisher: Tetovo : Faculty of Languages Cultures and Communications - SEEU Publication Date: 2012 Pagination: 79 p.

As we grow, many things have an influence on deciding how to behave, dress, express ourselves, and set our educational and occupational goals, hence, one of the major things that influence children's way of thinking are textbooks used in schools. They are a guide in the English language classroom and are assumed to develop learner's knowledge. Given that a well-designed English language textbook helps learners develop their foreign language, it also has an important role in providing children with knowledge about their roles in the society. Therefore, they should cultivate the minds of young people without presenting stereotypical images that might influence learners' perceptions about gender. Being an EFL teacher and working with different textbooks is what prompted me to carry out this research, and evaluate how the books I use in my school expose children to gender stereotypes. This study was carried out with three different textbooks used for beginner, pre-intermediate and intermediate level students, which were analyzed how they present males and females based on professions, appearance, sport/hobbies, personality traits, family roles and housewwk. . Its intention was to evaluate whether these textbooks consisted of any gender stereotypical elements that may affect students' assumptions and development. The results of this study, help teachers consider that gender stereotypes represented in children's extbooks have an effect on students roles in the society, thus, how will students construct lemselves greatly depends from the images considered appropriate they get as children. Another important aspect is that this study indicates the importance of evaluating materials we use in schools, and suggests to teachers to always choose appropriate materials for their classes. KEYWORDS: gender, stereotypes, children' English books, children's development

Deri sa rritemi, shumë gjëra ndikojnë që të vendosim se si të sillemi, vishemi, të shprehemi, dhe ti percaktojmë qëllimet tona arsimore dhe profesionale, prandaj, një nga gjërat kryesore që ndikojnë në mënyrën e të menduarit tek fëmijët janë tekstet mësimore që përdoren në shkolla. Ata janë një udhërëfyes në orën e gjuhës angleze dhe konsiderohet se janë mjet i rrëndësishëm në zhvillimin e njohuritve tek nxënësit. Duhet pasur parasysh se një libër i përpiluar mirë i gjuhës angleze iu ndihmon nxënësve t'a zhvillojnë gjuhën e tyre të huaj, por gjithashtu duhet ditur se libri ka një rol të rrëndësishëm dhe u ofron femijëve njohuri dhe në një mënyrë e përcakton rolin e tyre në shoqëri. Duke qenë një mësuese e gjuhës angleze si gjuhë e huaj dhe duke punuar me libra të ndryshëm është arsyeja kryesore që më nxiti mua ta kryej këtë hulumtim, dhe të vlersoj se si dhe sa librat që unë i përdori në shkollën time i ekspozojnë fëmijët në stereotipe gjinore. Ky studim është kryer me tre libra të ndryshëm që përdoren për fillestarë, nivelit fillestar te avancuar dhe të nivelit të mesëm, të cilat janë analizuar për mënyrën e paraqitjes së meshkujve dhe femrave duke marrë parasysh këto kategori: pofesionin, pamjen, sportin/hobin, personalitetin, dhe rolin në familje/ punët në shtëpi. Qëllimi i tij është të vlerësojë nëse këto tekste përmbajnë elemente të stereotipeve gjinore, që mund të ndikojnë në paragjykimet dhe zhillimin e nxënësve. Rezultatet e këtij studimi iu ndihmojnë mësuesve që të kenë parasysh se stereotipet gjinore prezente në tekstet shkollore për femijë kanë efekt në rolin e nxënësve ne shoqëri. Gjithashtu, këto rezultate do të ndihmojnë që më mirë të kuptohet roli i librit mbi ndërtimin e personalitetit të nxënësit dhe krijimi i modelit dhe imazhit nga karakteret e ndryshëm të këtyre librave. Një aspekt tjetër i rëndësishëm është se ky studim thekson rëndësinë e vlerësimit të materialeve që përdoren në shkolla dhe iu sugjeron mësuesve që të jenë të kujdesshëm në përzgjedhjen e materialeve mësimore. Fjalët kyçe: gjinia, stereotipet, librat shkollorë përfëmijë, zhvillimi ifëmijësRecord link: https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=19759 Copies

Title : Identifying Language Learning Preferences and Needs of ESP Adult Learners : studime të Magjistraturë - cikli i dytë Material Type: printed text Authors: Selvije Rexhepi, Dissertant ; Arta Toçi, Thesis advisor Publisher: Tetovë : Fakulteti Shkencave i Kulturave dhe Komunikimit - UEJL Publication Date: 2011 Pagination: 97 p.

Specific parts of a foreign language are learnt differently by different learners of it. Even though teachers try to use the best methods they know in the classroom, it is difficult to meet the learners' preferences and needs, and these undoubtedly affect the learner's language learning. Helping students learn does not only involve lecturing, but it involves knowing how students learn best and providing them with the desired assistance. Identifying the language learning preferences and needs of learners is highly desirable in terms of successful language learning as well as teaching. Research previously undertaken by Abdolmehdi Riazi and Mohammad Javad Riasati (2007), concerning the identification of styles and preferences of language learners has shown that teachers are aware of learner's learning preferences in some cases, but not in all the cases assessed. This finding prompted me to undertake a study which will identify how adults, with different professions, learn the English language best, knowing that such data is not available yet for English language teachers in Macedonia. The study does not focus on identification of needs and preferences only. It further investigates whether teachers are aware of the needs and preferences their students have in respect to English language learning. In general, it addresses the need for tailored class management and syllabus design between teachers' teaching methods and ways the learners prefer and need to learn. Ever since classes are learner-centred, there has been a focus shift from "what to teach" into "how the material is best learnt" among curriculum designers and teachers. This shift raised the awareness among teachers and curriculum designers that one teaching method can satisfy the demands of one learner, while the same method might not fulfil the basic needs of another learner. This has been noticed by Takac (2008) as well who stated that "instead of focusing on learning itself researchers are now trying to determine how individual learners approach learning (p. 28). She continues by referring to the work of William and Burden 2001, who claimed that "individuals construct their own reality and, therefore, acquire different types of knowledge in different ways, even in what seem to be highly similar situations" (p. 28). The different learning styles, needs and preferences have been deeply analysed in the last twenty years. Ensuring necessary data for planning and designing the curriculum requires a close contact between main actors of the classroom: teacher(s) and learner(s).

Title : The importance of using pictures and the written form of words in learning new vocabulary : master thesis - second cycle Material Type: printed text Authors: Eljvira Kica, Dissertant ; Arta Toçi, Thesis advisor Publisher: Tetovo : Faculty of Languages Cultures and Communications - SEEU Pagination: 88 p.

This paper is based on a study with two groups of 17 students. The age of the students was 11-12, and they belonged to the beginning level of English. The results of the study showed the importance of using pictures and the written form of words when learning a language. For this study, I divided the students into two groups. I presented the new vocabulary words to the first group only by listening to the words and to the other group by listening to the words associated both with the written form and the picture of the words. Before starting the presentation of the words, I gave the students a pre- test in order to check the students' general knowledge about some vocabulary words (specifically I pre- tested words that they had already learned in the previous term relating to simple subjects such as colors, animals, parts of the body, etc). The students attended five week classes, once a week, for 80 minutes each week. At the end of the classes the students had to complete a test. I gave the same test, with the same words, to both groups on the same day, and at the same time. The test results examined the level of the students' proficiency to learn new words which were presented in different ways. The results proved that by combining the visual and auditory learning methods, students were demonstrably more successful in their learning and retention of the taught vocabulary.Record link: https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=19714 Copies
