Education and Writing as a Lifestyle, the Writing Process in Secondary and High Schools in Albania: The Case of Albanian Language and Literature

A nation's most enduring asset is education which builds social structures while preserving cultural identity and enables people to develop intellectual and practical skills for progress. This research examines how Albanian language and literature supports cultural and social growth through an analysis of educational methods and classroom interactions that shape student communication skills and critical thinking abilities. According to Espinoza (2004) education quality surpasses natural resources in determining national wealth because it produces respectful daily interactions through greetings and expressions of gratitude. The teaching of Albanian language and literature functions as a foundational educational process which enables students to master their native language while developing critical and expressive abilities for literary text engagement. Modern curricula now focus on interactive approaches that use dialogic methods to promote interpretation and discussion and inquiry-based learning which transforms students into active creators of meaning. The educational approach mirrors international reform efforts which integrate language and literature throughout all educational levels to develop reading abilities and comprehension skills and interpretive competencies and creative expression while using interdisciplinary methods to place literature within broader cultural and intellectual frameworks. The present research investigates the obstacles teachers face when teaching linguistic and literary content in Albanian secondary education through a synchronic analysis. The research identifies specific barriers to propose effective solutions which will improve teaching methods and maintain literature education as an essential tool for developing modern communication skills and critical thinking and cultural understanding.
