Investigating the components of language proficiency among 16-year-old learners of French and Spanish in England immediately after taking their GCSE exams.

This research project uses data from experimental tasks assessing multiple linguistic domains (including grammar and vocabulary) and skills (listening, reading, writing, and speaking) to investigate the components of language proficiency among 16-year-old learners of French immediately after they finished their GCSE exams in 2022. There are plans to replicate this study in 2023 with GCSE learners of Spanish.
