Apprehension and motivation among adolescent dual language peers: perceptions and awareness about self-directed teaching and learning / Lisa Winstead
// Language and education 2013, Vol27, N.1 2013p. 1-21 English learners are given few opportunities to develop their oral language and be seen as language experts. Self-regulated dual language learning is an authentic approach to communicating in the target language that promotes basic interpersonal communication skills between foreign language and second language learners. This study examines how adolescent emergent English learners (ELs) and Spanish learners (SLs) self-regulated their language learning process in a dual language program. While there is a dearth of r esearch about this topic, there are a number of significant self-efficacy studies that show connections between motivation, confidence and language learning. This case study explores not only how adolescent ELs and SLs practice and teach language but also how they reflected upon this process. Findings from transcription and analysis of 18 language sessions reveal that students go through three specific stages (Language Apprehension, Language Initiation and Language Acquisition) when teaching and learning language, which serve as a theoretical model. It is a frame for situating their experiences and interactions as language learners and teachers

Attitudes and anxieties of business and education students towards English: some data from the Basque Country / Alaitz Santos, Jasone Cenoz, Durk Gorter.
// Language, Culture and Curriculum Volume 31, 2018 - Issue 1 2018p. 94-110 The aim of this article is to focus on university students’ attitudes towards English and their anxieties concerning the use of English in the Basque Country, a multilingual context where exposure to English is limited but internationalisation is an important aim. Participants were 360 undergraduate university students of business (N = 180) and education (N = 180) at the University of the Basque Country. The results of the questionnaires indicate that business students had a more positive attitude(s) towards English than education students. The findings also indicate that female business students have a relatively positive attitude in comparison to male business students but also a higher level of anxiety. The results are discussed as related to the situation of English-medium instruction in Southern European bilingual areas and previous studies on gender, attitudes and anxiety.
