French as a Second Language Teaching Identifying Methods that Im

 
 
Strategies Used to Fill in the Gap 
Shearin (1994) supports Crookes & Schmidt’s (1991) findings that students’ motivation to 
learn a second/foreign language is greater than the distinction between integrative and 
instrumental motivation. As research in motivation has developed, the source of students’ 
motivation to learn a second or foreign language has expanded. Researchers interested in how 
students are motivated to learn a second language have utilized different theories, such as 
reinforcement theory, self-determination theory, self-efficacy theory, expectancy-value theory
and goal theory (Dornyei, 2010). Self-determination theory divides motivation into two 
categories based on reasons or goals that lead to action. These two categories are intrinsic and 
extrinsic motivations. Intrinsic motivation refers to the excitement or enjoyment of doing an 
activity, while extrinsic motivation refers to the outcome or reward of doing the action, such as 
good grades (Al Kaboody, 2013).  
Motivational teaching practice systematizes motivation into a circular system comprising 
of four phases: creating motivational conditions, generating student motivation, maintaining and 
protecting motivation; and encouraging positive retrospective self-evaluation. This cycle implies 
that student motivation should be built, generated, supported, and encouraged (Dornyei, 2001).
Critical Issues in FSL Teaching
My first consideration was to acquire detailed and unbiased viewpoints provided by the 
participants about issues in FSL teaching. As far as adults are concerned, I believe that the 


40 
critical issues is language variation, otherwise known as the contrast between the actual language 
and the language as described in the French core curriculum. Grammatical knowledge is needed 
to construct proper sentences or utterances and learning of vocabulary, syntax, and phonology. 
The issue of the conceptual, empirical, and linguistic functions of FSL raises the essential 
question: which French language is it in French teaching as a second language? The analysis of 
the methods in use gives the question a remarkably compliant answer. Fundamental French is the 
most relevant core curriculum taught to L1 students and the most feasible and reliable for 
students looking to acquire FSL with as little trouble as possible. Though functional knowledge 
helps language users to map sentences, the fundamental French method is ideal to satisfy all L1 
students regardless of their race, social or economic status. This suggests that objectives 
concentrating on basic knowledge that are more attainable and lead to better results are superior. 
These objectives also help learners use L2 in their daily lives.
