Why Choose French? Secondary School Students' Accounts of Their Decision to Leave or Enroll in the Ontario Regular FSL Programme.

Massey, D. Anthony

Canadian Modern Language Review, v50 n4 p714-35 Jun 1994

Interviewed 24 students in 2 Ontario secondary schools about their decision to enrol or not to enroll in a French-as-a-Second-Language (FSL) program when it became optional for them at the end of ninth grade. Participants indicated that achieving a satisfactory level of communicative competence in French was important as a motivator to continue learning the language. (MDM)
