Ethnolinguistic Vitality, Self-Confidence and Second Language Proficiency: An Investigation.

Labrie, Normand; Clement, Richard

Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, v7 n4 p269-82 1986

Ninth-grade Francophone students (N=95) living in a bicultural milieu responded to tests including scales of ethnolinguistic vitality, attitudes, motivation, self-confidence, and second language competence and usage. Analyses indicated that contact with Anglophones and self-confidence with English as a second language were related to motivation, which was related to second language competence. (Author/CB)
