Sažetak
The rationale for the study (which in the first year has been funded by the British Council, with EU funding for a further 3) is to gain a holistic picture of the development of ELL in Europe (the first year has covered 6 country contexts, subsequent years will cover 7), presenting evidence of what can realistically be achieved in state schools with limited amount of class time available for foreign language learning. Findings to date indicate that the teachers are very positive, similar findings were found with students being highly motivated initially but there may be some indications of a decrease with time. Girls are more motivated than boys, and students’ favourite activity was learning new words. The on-going study will provide both a longitudinal and comparative perspective on the implementation of European policy.
