Abstract Motivation has long been acknowledged as an undeniably important factor in language learning, and recent research indicates that it may play an even more important role in CLIL than non-CLIL settings (Navarro Pablo & García Jiménez, 2018). However, given the lack of research into CLIL in languages other than English, Dalton-Puffer, Nikula and Smit (2010) have called for a comparison across additional languages, so as to determine the strengths and weaknesses of CLIL language-independently. This comparison is particularly necessary with respect to L2 motivation, given that the spread of English as a global language has led to qualitative differences between learning English compared with other languages (Dörnyei & Ushioda, 2013). The current study thus investigates the language learning motivation of students taking both English and French CLIL classes to determine if there are quantitative differences between the participants’ English and French language learning motivation. Results indicate that the participants exhibited a higher level of language learning motivation towards English than French. The findings highlight the need to better prepare CLIL methodologies when languages such as French are taught alongside English.

La motivación es un factor imprescindible en el aprendizaje de un idioma extranjero, y se ha demostrado que desempeña un papel más significativo en un contexto AICLE que no-AICLE (Navarro Pablo y García Jiménez, 2018). Sin embargo, dado la falta de investigación sobre el AICLE en idiomas distintos del inglés, Dalton-Puffer, Nikula y Smit (2010) han hecho un llamamiento a la investigación comparativa de diferentes lenguas meta, para comprender las fortalezas y debilidades de AICLE independientemente de la lengua del programa. Esta comparación es particularmente necesario con respecto a la motivación, dado que hay una diferencia fundamental entre la motivación para aprender el inglés frente a otras lenguas (Dörnyei y Ushioda, 2013). Este estudio investiga la motivación de alumnos que cursan a la vez asignaturas de instrucción AICLE en inglés y francés para comparar las diferencias cuantitativas entre la motivación hacia cada idioma. Los resultados demuestran que hay una diferencia evidente entre el inglés y el francés, ya que en todos los casos los participantes indicaron un nivel más alto de motivación hacia el inglés. Los hallazgos destacan la necesidad de preparar de manera más eficaz la metodología AICLE cuando se enseña el francés junto con el inglés.
