Work stories were defined as explanatory frameworks the principals used to explore the effects of the program. The work stories included several sub-themes, story lines. Discourse analysis was used to identify the work stories and the story lines within semi-structured interviews with the principals. The results indicate that the principals constructed the neo-liberal school reform program as a new, better school culture. The new culture needed to be promoted with enough firmness to establish social norms and to ensure conformity of teacher behaviour. To ensure the implementation of the program, the principals positioned themselves as corporate leaders or sporting coaches with little reference to educational considerations. The work stories positioned the teachers in their schools as ‘managed professionals’ with diminished trust and respect as teaching and educational professionals. Analysing work stories helps to understand what is happening to particular individuals within particular institutions at particular times. Within the neo-liberal landscape, there is a temptation to think that the social relations, meanings and assumptions of schooling are no longer problematic. Discourse analysis provides one way to see behind these temptations and provides an alternative analysis on neo-liberal reform programs.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">75-85</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eldina  Nasufi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sonila  Sadikaj</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SOME VIEWPOINTS OF UNIVERSITY RESEARCHERS ABOUT INTERCULTURALITY IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Problems of Education in the 21st Century</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">discourse analysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">foreign languages</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">university researchers</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">December/2011</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">https://oaji.net/articles/2014/457-1408434952.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">36</style></volume><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The concept of interculturality in foreign language teaching in Albania has been introduced in the last five years and as a result a lot has been written about it. Doing a discourse analysis of university researchers and teachers can help to learn about the concept they have about interculturality which affects the quality of teaching interculturalità in Albania. The corpus analyzed in this paper includes all the papers published in &quot;Revista Pedagogjike&quot;, published in Albania which deals with teaching issues and all the international papers related to interculturality from 2005 to 2010. The method of the written discourse analysis of the French School &quot;analyse de discours&quot; will be used. According to this analysis there is a great tendency to excessive theory about this issue, a lack of adapting this concept in the Albanian contexte, and not very good results in conceptualizing language textbooks that include interculturality, but there has been an increasing interest in adapting it in class practice.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">28-36</style></section></record></records></xml>
