"French is Hard Because It's a Different Language".

British Journal of Language Teaching, v24 n2 p71-76 Fall 1986

Three surveys (1983, 1984, 1985) were performed by the National Foundation for Education Research in England and Wales to investigate how pupils in early secondary years think and feel about their foreign language learning. Tables outlining the students' attitudes (boys' separately from girls') toward classroom activities including the usefulness, enjoyment, and difficulty of learning French, are presented. (LMO)
