"A Tough Hill To Climb Alone"--Welsh Learners Speak.
Newcombe, Lynda Pritchard
Hong Kong Journal of Applied Linguistics, v7 n2 p39-56 Dec 2002
Examines why only a limited number of adults who enroll in Welsh courses in Wales obtain fluency or become integrated in a Welsh-speaking community. Argues that many of the barriers these learners face come from outside the classroom and that the implementation of more innovative approaches could decrease the dropout rate. (Author/VWL)
