A Critical Examination of the Beliefs about Learning a Foreign Language at Primary School

I didn't unerstand what they ment

ther is no point in reading if you don't understand

There is not much point in reading something that I didn’t understand

Three said they would have liked to do more writing:

I would of found out how to write in rench

Then I could know how to read write and speak French

I thought that was the most interesting part

Six said they were glad they did not do any more writing:

The same as on the top but with writing (There is not much point in reading something
that I didn’t understand)

I didn' enjoy witing

Funny figures

I find it hard and prefer speaking

I know I'll never have to write in French

it's hard to wrigt in French

Two said they would have liked to do more homework:

It gave me something to do at home

It teaches me things

Seven said that they were glad they did not get more homework:

I find it hard without help

I didn't have time whene I've got more

Sometimes I can't be botherd

I forgot when I got home

I find it hard with no help

I prefer doing French with a teacher

Γm busy enough at home with English and Arabic homework

The things the girls liked most:

numbers because they were easy

playing bingo and ∞mmunicating because they are really fun

learning numbers because they were quite easy
