Stratégies et représentations de l'apprentissage du français langue étrangère chez des lycéens vietnamiens : description et étude de leur rapport avec les compétences linguistiques

Strategies that language learners use and their beliefs about language learning are fields that have interested many researchers in recent years. So, what are language learning strategies used by Vietnamese learners of French as foreign language? What are their beliefs concerning language learning? Is there any relationship between these elements and proficiency? This is what we propose to study in this doctoral work using quantitative approach with three main research tools: the Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (Oxford, 1990), the Beliefs About Language Learning Inventory (Horwitz, 1988) and a linguistic test. We start this research by meeting the important requirement of the cross-cultural validation of the adopted questionnaires. Then, statistical analysis (descriptive and inferential) will allow us to answer to research questions. The results show that Vietnamese learners have limited and varied strategy use and they have different beliefs about the learning of French as a foreign language. Furthermore, the relationship between strategy use and representations, on the one hand, and between these elements and proficiency, on the other hand, is statistically significant. However, it is fairly complex. To conclude this thesis, we will try to provide possible explanations and point out implications. This discussion will lead to some recommendations aimed at different players involved in the teaching/learning of French in Vietnam.
