Abstract:

Nearing the end of my career as a secondary school Modern Languages (French/Spanish) teacher, I wanted to reflect on some of the problems I had encountered. The most obvious, I felt, was that male secondary school students persistently seemed to perform less well in this subject area than female students. This led me to investigate the social construction of gender, learner identity and the ideologies surrounding MFL. I did this by investigating the role of language and discourse in the construction of culture, identities and ideologies. The research paradigm is interpretivist and the design i

Oftentimes it is the foreign language classroom that provides the basic foundation for language exposure and acquisition.

In addition, most recent research tends to suggest that high quantities of TL from the instructor is ideal.
