The increasing international integration, the increasing mobility of the population, the internationalization of the media, the economy and the culture of everyday life means that more and more children and young people in their living environment, and their every days life needs the knowledge of the foreign languages. Studies show that the conditions for learning a foreign language in primary school age are very favorable. The students who learn foreign languages in the early childhood oriented in play and action, but also systematically and with linguistic progression, can find their way into Europe's cultural diversity and multilingualism, and it will have the impact on their future knowledge. For the future of the people of Kosova a high quality and modern education is very important. The areas of language, communication and culture have a special role in the Core of the Curriculum.
