Visit to the University of Tirana
Last week, the IFL Director Teresė Ringailienė visited the University of Tirana, Albania on an Erasmus+ teaching visit, where she gave lectures to English Philology students on language teaching, student engagement and the development of the multilingual competence. She also introduced the students to the Institute of Foreign Languages, study opportunities at VMU and Lithuania. The students not only found out more about the country, but also had the opportunity to taste Lithuanian sweets.
Albania is a beautiful country with a very complex history that we are not very familiar with, even though geographically it is relatively near. Therefore, such visits broaden one’s horizons, allow one to experience a different culture, reflect upon history, establish contacts, share experiences and knowledge and find out things about the unique language: Albanian belongs to the group of Indo-European languages but has no similarity with any other language.
