We appreciate your presence and your presentations in our conference. The teachers will have the opportunity not only to share ideas and views about teaching English in their classes, but also they will develop professionally. Your presentations and presence at the conference will inspire and motivate them in order to enhance language teaching in all levels of education in order to meet the needs of the new curriculum and the tasks set by the government, which require all the students in the final year of the high school to sit for the English exam for the State Matura in 2013.This is a big challenge the Albanian English teachers are going to face. So your help will facilitate their work in the future.
