Abstract
Giftedness in the context of foreign language learning still has a status of an underexplored issue which needs
special deliberation and thorough studying.
The paper at hand investigates the experience of Macedonian foreign language teachers with gifted students. The
research is based on a tailor–made questionnaire, in which primary and secondary school teachers of foreign
languages (English, German, and French) from a number of Macedonian schools, first, state their viewpoints
regarding how they identify gifted students; what their perception of the overall attitude of gifted students is; what
difficulties they encounter in teaching gifted students, etc. The questionnaire is also intended to elicit more specific
information related to the process of teaching gifted students. More precisely, it looks into the methods, strategies
and techniques that foreign language teachers employ in teaching gifted students.
Overall, this research shows that Macedonian education has a long way to go in order to master a proper stratagem
for dealing with gifted students efficiently in the context of foreign language learning. However, it is also evident
that foreign language teachers are aware of that the fact that proper cultivating and harnessing of gifted students’
intellectual potential is an absolute imperative and should be placed high on the list of national priorities.
Key words: gifted students, foreign language teaching, Macedonian primary and secondary education
