Learner Autonomy in language learning: Students’Beliefs and Attitudes
The purpose of this paper is to investigate students’ beliefs and attitudes about Learner Autonomy. This study was conducted in three secondary schools in Gjilan. The participants of this study were 300 students who participated by completing the questionnaire which consisted of 15 questions, where they identified their beliefs and attitudes towards learner autonomy. The study findings indicate that learner autonomy is a new concept in Gjilan, however, students feel positive about the implementation of learner autonomy in language learning. The majority of the participants indicate that learner autonomy promotes willingness, voluntariness, motivation and challenge in English language learning. It is also concluded that learner autonomy promotes life-long learning. By being autonomous participants agreed that it allows them to make choices about how they learn. However, according to the participants learner autonomy does not mean learning alone, but they believe that teachers should be more responsible and encourage learners to work more autonomously. Therefore, the findings show that learners need to be motivated by teachers and guided on how to plan their own learning by giving them better chances for creating their own work

Intelligibility of spoken Albanian language by using multimedia applications like skype and viber
This paper intends to analyze subjective measurements of intelligibility of speech in Albanian language during the conversation between two people using applications which today is very used for communication such as Skype and Viber
Intelligibility of speech has to do with the clarity of speech that is heard, meaning of the entry of the system we have words without meaning while to the exit we mark what is heard. Speech intelligibility represents the percentage of correctly recognized words to the number of words uttered at the entrance. The measurement is done as follows: on the entry part of the transmission system sentences or words are spoken or just syllables while on receiving part is recorded what is heard; the percentage of words, sentences or syllables correctly received, on proportion to those imposed on the entry of the system, provides the percentage of intelligibility (the words, sentences or syllables).
A concrete example of why is needed digitalization of the Albanian language and why should we design models and algorithms for this is the case of Google Search by Voice, where even if you speak a word that is not clear in English language, the system finds the closest potential word and generates it.
Methods of measurements are made at different speed of the Internet, in an environment without noise and with noise, in order to see the impact on understanding of the speech with different target parameters
What is left unsaid; implicatures in political discourse.
The participants in a conversation adhere to the cooperative principle and the maxims. However, some things are left unsaid because of the fact that diplomatic discourse or political discourse makes frequent use of ‘implicatures’, in order to suggest information not explicitly expressed in the text. These inferences are usually based on particular beliefs, opinions and knowledge of some concrete situation. The political implicatures that is, the specific political inferences that participants make in the communicative situation, for instance MPs in a parliamentary debate may make, are based on (their understanding of) this speech and its context.
In this paper, several instances of maxim violation and inplicatures present in political discourse will be analyzed, by paying importance to the way politicians favor them so as to conceal the truth. We will take into consideration Edi Rama`s interview to CNN about the presidential election in USA, as a case study of implicatures use and function
The impact of natural and socio-economic conditions change the speech of the Albanian language (case of Albania)
Over the centuries languages creates its own features, such as grammatical structure, phonetics and vocabulary. These elements contain the Albanian language, which ranks among the oldest in Europe. Language, especially spoken language varies not only between nations but also within its own. In the Albanian language there are observed differences between provinces without changing its base, forming dialects.
Determinant factors are the natural and socio-economic conditions. Natural conditions (first), especially the relief forms a significant influence on the formation of dialects. Albanian relief is predominantly mountainous, with high mountain ranges, which makes difficult people contacts, causing a relative isolation. This did that the inhabitants of a region with the time pass by speak an Albanian, which has differences with the other provinces. There are seen differences between the speech of Elbasan with that of Lushnjë, etc.
The socio-economic poor state of the Albanian succeeded over the years an underdeveloped road and rail infrastructure, while hindering not the less the movement of people from one region to another, especially in mountainous areas. Even loë income did not alloë frequent movement of people and their good education, etc. These factors hinder the ongoing communication of the inhabitants of different regions. The presentation will be illustrated examples of words from several dialects, where accent makes differences in relation to the standard language
STUDY CASE OF KOSOVO (2008-2013)
Mentor. Safet MerovciThis paper represents an analysis of the impact of the budget deficit in the macro fiscal stability in the study case of Kosovo in order to see what development level Kosovo is in, compared to region countries. It’s clear that in the study case of Kosovo, the government ambitions to accommodate spending politics with the purpose of long term political profits caused that the increase of the budget deficit and as a result to influence in the level increase of the public budget. The implementation of the fiscal expansive politics has an impact on the increase of available revenues for family economics and businesses, which influences the increase of consumption and investments, which also affects the trade balance.
The budget deficit affects in the increase of budget’s stock and consequently in the increase of norm’s interest which has an impact on the increase of financing’s cost. An increase of norm’s interest influences the decrease of investments in economy, and as a consequence there’s a slowdown of the economical increase that is reflected in budget revenues and also in available revenues for family and business economics. Considering the economical structure of Kosovo, it is essential that the implementation of government politics is done in harmony with economical development’s trends and not within political points by going beyond real budget capacities
Kuptueshmëria e të folurit në gjuhën shqipe në përdorimin e aplikacioneve multimediale Skype dhe Viber
Ky punim ka për qëllim të analizojë matjet subjektive të kuptueshmërisë së të folurit në gjuhën shqipe, gjatë bisedës në mes të dy personave, duke përdorur aplikacione, të cilat në ditët e sotme janë shumë të përdorura për komunikim, siç janë Skype dhe Viber.
Kuptueshmëria e të folurit ka të bëjë me qartësinë e të folurit që dëgjohet, dmth në hyrje të sistemit kemi fjalët pa kuptim, kurse në dalje kemi atë që dëgjohet. Kuptueshmëria e të folurit paraqet përqindjen e fjalëve të pranuara saktë ndaj numrit të fjalëve të shqiptuara në hyrje. Matja bëhet në këtë mënyrë: në pjesën hyrëse të sistemit të transmetimit fliten fjalë ose fjali apo vetëm rrokje, ndërsa në anën pranuese regjistrohet ajo që dëgjohet. Përqindja e fjalëve, fjalive apo rrokjeve të pranuara saktë, në raport me numrin e atyre të shqiptuara në hyrje të sistemit, jep përqindjen e kuptueshmërisë.
Një shembull konkret, sepse nevojitet digjitalizimi i gjuhës shqipe dhe pse duhet të dizajnohen modele dhe algoritme për këtë, është rasti te Google, Search by Voice, ku edhe nëse flitet ndonjë fjalë jo qartë në gjuhën angleze, sistemi e gjen vetë fjalën më të afërt të mundshme dhe e gjeneron atë.
Metodat e matjeve bëhen me shpejtësi të ndryshme të internetit të realizuara në ambiente pa zhurmë dhe ato me zhurmë, me qëllim për të parë ndikimin në kuptueshmëri të të folurit me parametra të ndryshëm objektiv
