The case of third-year students of the department of English at MMUTO. It attempts to discover whether multilingual experiences of students have an effect on their learning of English as a foreign language and to see to what extent these language experiences are important when learning English as a foreign language. For the practical part of the research, we have adopted the Theory of Affordances put forward by Gibson in 1977. A mixed-method approach is adopted for collecting data and data analysis. It combines quantitative and qualitative procedures. In terms of data collection, a questionnaire is administered to 100 students. Besides, the research relied on an interview conducted with six teachers of the third-year level. For the analysis of the collected data, our research adopted the statistical package for social science to analyze the numerical data, and the qualitative content analysis for the interpretation of the qualitative data. The results of the research demonstrated that multilingualism has an effect on students’ learning of English as a foreign language. They also revealed that multilingual experiences are important when learning English. | en |
