Abstract

The Department of French at the University of Manchester is currently innovating in eLearning in order to enhance both language provision and student performance. Within the context of the core language module Independent Learning Programme, they are exploring ways to enhance new technologies to address following questions: how to encourage our large cohort of French studies students throughout their degree to engage in regular and systematic independent learning; how to equip them with appropriate language specific and transferable skills for lifelong independent learning; and how to enhance intrinsic motivation particularly with extrinsic motivational factors such as feedback and feedforward.
