Have you ever refrained from speaking French because your skills aren't quite "good enough?" THAT's language insecurity. We are proud to release a new advocacy-oriented research brief titled “Be Brave, Speak French”! The report addresses the insecurity experienced by some French language learners and speakers, its impact on students and teachers and recommendations to build linguistic security.

Did you know that the feeling of not speaking your second language well enough or having an accent that doesn’t match the norm is very common? And that it affects francophones speaking French just as often as it does French second language learners (and teachers)? Learn about this very real phenomenon in our brief, which includes practical tips for supporting learners at all levels to attain linguistic security!
