Introduction

Definition

Exposure to language refers to the total amount of time in which an individual has contact with a language, may it be in verbal or written form, formal or informal ways of communications and in which the individual may have either an active or a passive role (Magno, 2009).

This Research project intends to understand the effect(s) of exposure to L2 through activities inside the classroom on students' development and learning. Consequently, it is expected this research to let evaluate the co-relation between Exposure-Learning.

Purpose

Datanalysis pro (Intw questions)

What is your past experience of learning French as L2?

What is your learning style?

Which activities are you exposed inside the classroom to?

How is the interaction with your classmates inside the classroom?

How have you learnt French, in group, individually or both of them?

Datanalysis pro (Question)

What have I found in data as yet?

Classroom observations

The class observation data analysis has shown that the activities imply that the students are exposed to speaking, listening, reading in FL, and this helps them be engaged in L2. however; the lack of vocabulary constitutes a great barrier for the consistent students´success. Therefore; L1 appears to them as a means of thought expression. Activities could work insofar as students have a high vocabulary command / knowledge.

Interviews

The intws analysis has shown that the classroom activities that promote analysis, reflection, interaction and praxis guide to improve and to learn a L2.

The learning of a L2 may occur individually or collectively but it is mostly determined by the former.

Interviews

The classroom activities help acquire language since each lesson has different subjects, v.gr .: vocabulary, grammar. Yet; it is of no use without practice and strategies that let students to get along with.

Implications

Which implications have been borne in mind for the data analysis?

Hatch´s analysis interpretative model (2002)

To read the data to have a holistic idea. To check the impressions of each of data: recordings,

notes, interviews, transcriptions. To read the data, identify the impressions and jot them. To study the notes to consider the emerging interpretations. To read the data, to codify the data in themes to support

the information To write a draft to summarize the information. A supervisor’s revision. To write a corrected summary and identify the parts that

justify the interpretations.
