USING CONTEXT IN TEACHING ENGLISH IDIOMS TO ALBANIAN STUDENTS AT UNIVERSITY LEVEL IN KOSOVO

Teaching English has long been an issue among different researchers. In this regard, difficulties associated with teaching English to the students of different levels including university level students in Kosovo are also an issue to be further studied. The study in question deals with this from a practical view: based on a research conducted at the Univesrum College in Prishtina and Ferizaj (in two campuses) with the first and the second year students from the English Department. It digs into the core of a more complex issue: teaching idioms to the Albanian students at university level in Kosovo based on the context. Teaching English in general has proven to be a challenge for professors but teaching idioms has proven to be much more difficult. Taking into account the fact that there were not many studies on idioms in Kosovo or in the neighbouring countries just adds to the difficulty of teaching them to the students hence the necessity for such a study. Most importantly, the study also puts emphasis on how students acquire idioms more easily using context. Last, but not least, the study in question is also based on other researchers? works.
