Challenges of L2 Learners of French Language at Lead City University, Ibadan

This paper aims to investigate the challenges facing L2 learners of French at Lead City University, Ibadan. It adopts a qualitative approach, using survey techniques and semi-structured interviews to collect data from a sample of students who are currently learning French at the University. The findings indicate that various factors contribute to the difficulties L2 learners experience in mastering French at the University. These include unstable sources of learning materials, lack of individual study time, as well as other language-related challenges such as inadequate French language proficiency levels in the local environment and inadequate infrastructure for language learning. It is concluded that the University needs to increase its efforts to improve the language environment, as well as the infrastructure, to make French language learning more accessible and easier for its students.
