Abstract

This article presents the results of two Australian studies. The first investigates the motives underlying students� decisions to study German at university level. The second explores why many students who begin their study of German at the ab-initio level discontinue after only a few semesters. Following the data analysis, the article discusses possible approaches to increase the low retention of beginners� students.
