Florian Hameau – Canadian Modern Language Review, 2024
If oral communication in a second language (L2) is considered a skill to be prioritized, it is also particularly anxiety-provoking for L2 learners. This is why their willingness to communicate, predicted in particular by the emotions experienced, has been the focus of recent studies to examine its evolution and factors likely to interact with it.…

If teachers have previously used technology (e.g., Learning Management Systems, document sharing, video-conferencing, gamification, social media or video-recording), they are likely to use it again.

Griffiths, Ed – Canadian Modern Language Review, 2022
Communication strategies (CSs) have been generally viewed as ways in which learners may circumvent, and ideally overcome, communicative difficulties. However, over 40 years of research in this area has been largely confined to theory and experimental studies, and it is not clear to what extent CS research has filtered into contemporary second…

Fischer, Brett; Viens, Danielle; Rondeau, Diane; Turgeon-Gouin, Catherine; Plaxton, Elizabeth – Canadian Modern Language Review, 2021
Globalization and new technologies mean that additional-language students now have unprecedented access to naturalistic interactions with native or highly competent speakers (HCSs). Even though a majority of students would still prefer to have teacher guidance in these interactions, only some teachers may want or be able to do so. This…

This article draws upon a 10-month study of core French as a second language (FSL) teachers to explore the professional identities that are produced in their work. Adopting rhizoanalysis and the Deleuzian concept of becoming, this article positions the ways in which these teachers both affect and are affected by the multiple material and…

In this study,…
