| Summary: | The emigration of Albanians to England has increased significantly in recent years, making the role of
using and learning the English language decisive, especially for the Albanian youths who attend school. The purpose of
studying the English language encompasses various aspects such as education, economics, social integration, and more. This
study explores the language barriers young immigrant Albanians face in England when learning English, as well as the unique
factors that influence their experiences in school. The study involved the observation of 75 Albanian youths, 30 males and 45
females. The problems caused by mastering the mother tongue are related to grammar, vocabulary, and articulation. Given the
connections between culture, language, and individuality, cultural concerns emphasise how crucial it is to include different
cultures in the classroom. The study suggests educational approaches, such as bilingual classes, to address language barriers
and promote fluency in Albanian and English. Adding Albanian social aspects to culturally sensitive curriculum and teaching
is recommended to improve student interaction and foster a sense of belonging. The study recommends teacher preparation
courses that emphasise barriers to linguistic and cultural sensitivity, to improve the capacity of teachers to deal with particular
issues. The research suggests a comprehensive, collaborative strategy that combines educators, communities, and legislators
to create a welcoming and encouraging atmosphere for successful language learning in English through the skills and social
inclusion of Albanian youth immigrants. |
