Description
Summary:The paper presents the results of an ethnographic study of informal learning of French by students of French philology at the University of Wrocław, taking into account one language activity (writing), one component of competence (lexical) and one informal learning activity (watching films and series). The French language in Poland is part of a heteroglot learning ecology, since Poland is a monolingual country and French is one of the languages that is not widely used and is little taught. Unlike English, the possibilities to incidental learning of French are therefore limited. The study will show that students of French philology are capable of benefitting from several different opportunities in order to improve their communicative competence but that informal learning modalities are mostly monologic and focused on lexical enrichment. Under these conditions, university teaching not only should take this learning into account, but also direct it towards resources which are less salient in individual learning ecologies and which allow the development of linguistic and pragmatic competence (particularly in the context of oral interaction).
