The subjects of this study were the students at NUCB taking English as a foreign language as part of
completion of their undergraduate degree program.
They had been learning English at middle and high
schools for six years before participating in the program.
It was hoped that this sample of self-selected students might offer insight into the range of factors perceived to shape and sustain involvement in language learning.
English courses that they have taken, are taking, or will take are all run by the Faculty of Foreign
Languages at the university.
