The data consists of written answers to an open-ended question in a reflective document. The reflective document was sent to 243 preschool teachers and managers, of whom 222 responded. A didactically oriented analysis was performed based on three levels: practice-related action level, theoretical level and meta-theoretical level. The results of the analysis are distributed in distinctive traces that more clearly refer to the practice-related action level than to the theoretical level or meta-theoretical level. Child-centred teaching, which may or may not be delimited, is characteristic of language, communication and multilingualism. Teaching is said to be constant: spontaneous but deliberate in all contexts and situations but also delivered through planned activities, projects and themes. Verbal communication is predominant in teaching. Vague and low-frequency traces of multivoiced teaching related to multilingualism and special support have emerged. The multivoiced teaching described mainly ends with general teaching of children in preschool – a multivoiced approach in general.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">189-214</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Esmeralda  Kromidha</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Elida  Tabaku</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">IMPROVEMENT OF FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHER EDUCATION IN ALBANIA</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Problems of Education in the 21st Century</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">language teaching</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">learning skills</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">teacher education</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">December/2011</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://journals.indexcopernicus.com/abstract.php?icid=971787</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">38</style></volume><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign language teaching has been the subject of many changes in Albania in response to the social and economic changes that have taken place in the country and in Europe. The foreign language teacher should be able to teach communicative language and intercultural education. This asks for teachers who work to develop professionally by applying active teaching and learning strategies. Teacher education is the basis for this radical change demanded from the teachers. 
 University of Tirana is working to meet this challenge. Based on the problems experienced, beliefs and attitudes future teachers share, new Master Courses on Teacher Education have been designed and applied in the last two years. They aim at improving teachers’ language and teaching skills by having a balanced proportion of content and pedagogical subjects, teaching practice and research. A well designed curriculum is seen as crucial to teacher education.
 A survey has been conducted on the outcome of the new curricula of Teacher education. The main focus has been to make our foreign language teaching and learning comparable to that of the region by keeping to the standards of European Common Framework of Modern Languages.
