FOREIGN LANGUAGES AS A NATINAL PRIORITY IN THE FACE OF CHANGE AND REFORMS

Abstract

The European integration process has become a reality. The prospect of expansion together with the deepening of relations between non-member countries is no longer a dream, but a challenge. The growing awareness of the political majority, the academic world and public opinion to be involved in the processes of establishing a more complete institutional Europe, based on its intellectual, cultural, social, scientific and technological dimensions, poses major tasks to education.

The Europe of knowledge is already widely accepted as a pan-European objective, as an irreplaceable factor for increasing human capacities, for the enrichment and consolidation of European citizenship. The importance of education and educational cooperation in the development and strengthening of stable, peaceful and democratic societies is universally recognized as essential. Nowadays in Albania, but not only, the entire system of higher education has been put under the pressure of changes in the framework of changes and transformations that the entire human society is undergoing in the framework of "globalization". Today the guiding motto of the CoE "learning by doing" [1] has been turned into "doing by learning". Changes are interactive: Achievements transform not only reality but also man. Many today face the challenge of achieving goals without having a role model. Many face the obligation to be creative, reflective and flexible in the process of change.
