dc.description.abstractAlthough many countries have multilingual citizens, learning a foreign language is a challenge for most people. In this article we examine the attitude of students towards studying Russian and French in the University of Ghana; how they cope with the difficulties of the languages which they find interesting but quite different from their various mother tongues and English – the official language of the country; how they appreciate Russian and French culture; what motivates them and how to motivate other Ghanaian students to learn these languages. We also consider how to improve the quality of teaching the Russian and French languages. The University of Ghana has been offering Russian studies for over four decades and French studies for over six. The number of students admitted every year to the Russian and French Sections depends on many factors, but more importantly on the University’s policy on admission such as quotas for admitted students in a department, number and variation of offered subjects, etc.en_US
