Albanians’ English fluency and its relevance to language learning, globally

Summary/Abstract: This joint manuscript explores one of the most discussed issues among academics and laymen, such as “Why Albanians speak English with such fluency and ‘native-like’ pronunciation.” Collaboratively, the authors of the paper, who represent different ELT academic contexts, have looked into this issue for related comments, mainly from the literature published in this field, to discover more ways for global EL teachers to further develop techniques for enhancing their students’ acquisition of and fluency in English. Moreover, the manuscript tends to point out that factors related to historical, societal or political developments and trends may affect the acquisition of a foreign language. In addition to these external factors, there are some internal factors such as age, personality/attitude, intrinsic motivation, personal experiences, cognition/physical characteristics, and one’s native language, which will also be analysed and the findings will be corroborated against the data collected from the questionnaire. Finally, with this analysis, the overall goal is to provide insights for English language educators, globally, to apply to their respective teaching environments.
