Working with English learners for many years, gives you the opportunity to encounter linguistic obstacles that they face while learning English language as a foreign language. Additionally, teaching for 13 years and observing the learning process, it enables you to recognize the students’ needs and at the same time, detect linguistic mistakes that they make, while practicing the target language. During my experience as a teacher, in terms of teaching and learning verbs in general and its grammatical categories in specific, it is noticed that Albanian learners find it relatively difficult the correct use of verbs in context and even more confusing the equivalent use of verbs in Albanian. Since verbs present an important part of speech, this study aims to investigate several differences and similarities between grammatical categories of verbs in English and Albanian. As a result, the Albanian learners of English language will be able to identify some of the major differences and similarities between the grammatical categories of verbs in English and Albanian; overcome the usual mistakes; gain the necessary knowledge regarding verbs and use them properly in English and Albanian.

Are you the kind of person who yawns through a conference schedule to automatically eliminate any program containing pedagogy, Eurocentric, praxis, emergent or hegemonic in the title? Does the word paradigm evoke images of Andy Rooney whining at the end of "60 Minutes" about having to learn new things all over again ("When will it stop shifting?"), just because somebody cooked up a fancy word for describing how we think? If this whole discussion about changing worldviews sends you packing for a couple of pills of super-strength Tylenol, then 'Shifting Paradigms' may not be for you. If, however, you are the perceptive sort who has become genuinely and increasingly frustrated with the fact that the old, "tried and true" ways of doing things just do not seem to work all that well anymore, then this book might just offer a means for understanding how and why a change in our thinking is a must for continuing survival today's world.
