Abstract Details

2010, Master of Arts (MA), Ohio University, Linguistics (Arts and Sciences).
This mixed-methods study of 221 Moroccan university student looks at the attitudes of the L2, French, and the L3, English. It specifically attempts to find out how L3 learning and attitudes are affected by the attitude of the L2 experience. The population consisted of French Studies students and English Studies students. The data of this study were collected through a questionnaire and a focus group interview. Results showed that there was no relationship found between the attitudes of L2 and L3 of the English Studies group. However, a weak relationship was found in the attitudes of the French Studies group. Further tests proved that the relationship was coincidental. Thus, the attitudes of the L2 and the L3 are independent from each other.
