Abstract:
21st Century, as the era of globalization and the technical revolution sets new challenges in the field of education. “Today’s World” foresees the society with strong citizenship skills that are of outmost important to survive and succeed in the society where competition is observed to overwhelm every field of the life.

The aim of our research is to reveal the challenges the teachers of the secondary schools of the modern world have to face in the context of being free and have enough flexibility in terms of application of contemporary teaching/learning methods while teaching foreign languages. To be more precise, teachers who follow new tendencies in teaching and try to integrate all innovative methods to ensure the communicative approach and building up the 21st century skills in learners have to defend themselves vis-à-vis parents who come with complaints on the ways the teachers teach their children expressing their concern on the quality the teaching/earning process is carried out. They have several complaints that sometimes reach the school principles too and gets even more serious.

In our research we try to make classification of the complaints parents can have as well as find the solution to them. The study envisages survey through the questioners in pubic as well as private schools to have the opportunity to see the differences in the approach of the parents on top of identification of the typical complaints in general.

We attempt to elaborate the measures that could be easily implemented by the teachers to raise awareness in those who do not trust the innovative methods and create obstacles for the enthusiastic and motivated teachers. Teachers must teach instead of being tensed by thinking about the possible complications and the arguments they will need to justify themselves.
