Students' Mobility in the Globalization Era and the Linguistic Problems Faced By Them

Nowadays, the more the opportunities for free movement of individuals from one country to another increase, the more the 16 barriers that hold back this process get reduced. But the difficulties of crossing the “language borders”, however, remain a serious problem for the students. This research address issues dealing with the difficulties that the repatriation of students brings. The level of knowledge of the mother tongue for most of them is at the level of simple parent-child communication, lacking relevant conceptual schemes and significant content in the lexical and morpho-syntactic field. Through a survey and several interviews with repatriated students and parents, as well as with teachers, through an assessment made to the new situation in the Albanian education system, and through the results received from the data collection we will point out an actual problem and offer a solution to facilitate the students’ language learning. The focus of the survey is on the main 'skills' understanding, speaking, reading, writing, spoken interaction and spoken production.
