Abstract

This research considers teachers' opinions on modern foreign language teaching in the primary school, through questionnaires in two schools and interviews with four individuals. This study found that there were mixed opinions as to the importance of teaching modern foreign languages. Although time and subject knowledge were highlighted as barriers, the majority felt the provisions in place should be continued.
