Gruende fuer die Abwahl der Fremdsprachen in der Schule (Reasons for the Non-Electing of Foreign Languages in the School).

Conversations with secondary pupils reveal their reasons for not electing foreign languages: lack of knowledge concerning the amount of work involved, fear of difficulty, and underrating the value of a second or third foreign language. Students need to know that the authoritles regard foreign languages as important. (IFS/WGA)
