Abstract

Teaching foreign languages in an academic environment is a challenge, especially in the case of languages other than nowadays' lingua franca, i.e. English. This challenge is rooted in professors' abilities to elicit from students what they need to study, what will be useful for them in their professional field, and also in students' confidence in professors' choices. The main task of a professor of foreign languages is to find a balance between obligation and motivation, so that students will make progress in their foreign languages, namely French and German (in our case, compulsory subjects). Our research aims to tackle this balance, so we shall focus on the student on the one hand, and on the options available to the professor, on the other.
