The academic content and curriculum of the Bachelor of Arts in Albanian Language and Literature is designed to provide students with a foundation in Albanian language and literature. The program usually has a four-year duration of study, during which students are offered a balanced set of courses with the aim of teaching language, literature and culture in a comprehensive manner.
Linguistics and Albanian Grammar: One of the cornerstones of the program is learning the linguistic structure of the Albanian language. This includes courses such as phonology (phonology), morphology (word structure), syntax (sentence structure) and semantics (semantics). These courses offer students the opportunity to understand the basic building blocks of the language and how it functions.
Albanian Literature: Literature courses cover the historical development of Albanian literature, important authors and works. Literary movements in the classical, medieval, Renaissance, modern and contemporary periods and their social and cultural contexts are discussed. Students develop their ability to analyze and critically evaluate literary works.
Cultural Studies and History: Understanding the influence of Albanian culture and history on literature is an important part of the program. These courses provide students with the cultural and historical background of Albanian literature and language.
Applied Language Use: The program aims to provide students with practical skills for the effective use of Albanian in writing and speaking. For this purpose, practical classes such as language laboratories, speaking and writing workshops may be offered.
