Variations in Attitudes and Motivation of Adolescent Learners of French as a Second Language.

Massey, D. Anthony

Canadian Modern Language Review, v42 n3 p607-18 Jan 1986

A study of age and time differences in motivation for learning French and in attitudes toward French instruction found attitude variation decreasing with time, and found rural and suburban students' attitudes linked most to the learning situation while urban students' motivation was rooted in desire to communicate in French.
