Aimes-tu le français?

Perception of the Compulsory Study of French in Middle School
open access | peer reviewed

Abstract

This survey aims to highlight Italian Middle School student’s personal perceptions of the study of French. In the Italian School System, English is a compulsory subject from first year of Primary School to last year of Secondary School. This has led students to perceive English as a useful, essential language to learn – a perception also confirmed by the media – placing other languages in a secondary position. The minor role attributed to other languages often results in insufficient motivation to learn them because they are seen as less useful and less interesting.
