| Abstract | This paper reports on a research project involving a sample of 10 state-educated students in their first year of German course at Oxford University. ... The paper describes the students' motivation for applying to study German at Oxford and their experiences of the transition from school to university. ... The findings, based on data from semi-structured interviews, suggest that the students had instrumentally oriented motivation for wanting to do a language course which was qualitatively different from the one experienced at A level. Although several factors might have alienated the students, most managed to adapt to the academic requirements at Oxford. It is argued that the students' ability to adapt and succeed is due to a high level of preparedness and to a flexibility of motivational orientation. The study [comments on] issues of transition in terms of how well matched certain prestige university courses are to the aspirations of the applicants. (DIPF/Orig.). |
