How do you motivate students to learn French? Students usually select
French for an instrumental or integrative motif (Gardner and Lambert).
This is a research project for a University class. As you are aware there
is less enthusiasm to learn French, the enrollment at the university
level has dropped.

Do you think promotion of the language is important and could you
recommand litterature made on it (abstract, authors, government
publications), etc..

Thank you very much.

Message 2: Fragmentary Language

Subject: Fragmentary Language


Greetings.

I'm working on ancient languages; and I'm searching for a German term
I have read, meaning "fragmentary language", a tongue we have only
fragments from.

I think that such a word exists, but I haven't been able to find it;
if you can help me, send me a mess to josugparrakis.es and I'll post
the relevant information I get.

Thank you very much!!

	Josu
