SFIDA E GJUHËS SHQIPE DHE TEKSTET SHKOLLORE SHUMË GJUHËSH

Abstract

The primary aim of this research is to identify challenges related to multilingual school textbooks and to address the role of the Albanian language in constructing critical thinking during the post-ideological transition, along with its enrichment and revitalization throughout this process. The central premise of the research is that “the system of thought and the system of language function as inseparable and complementary components of the human being.” In today’s era, the mission of language is to enable the understanding of critical thinking, whose highest level is represented by “philosophical thought.” Linguistic communication and intercommunication are complex processes that rely on the development of language skills and the use of language as a tool for clearly and deeply expressing and arguing thought. In the first quarter of the 21st century, the field of education has expanded to include neë domains such as the transitology of language and thought, psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, intercultural communication pedagogy, and spoken language development. This research is based on a holistic method and the analysis of objective and subjective factors contributing to the crisis of thought after the fall of the totalitarian system. Its theoretical foundation lies in the philosophy of integration, reflective critical thinking, and the synthesis of classical truths: religious, philosophical, and scientific. The research takes place within the context of pre-university education, focusing on Albanian and English textbooks developed according to European curriculum standards.
