Annotation

This study, based on two large-scale surveys conducted in 1993 and 1999, explores how the significant sociocultural changes in post-communist Hungary influenced school children's attitudes and motivation concerning second language learning, in particular their disposition towards Russian, German, English, French and Italian.
