Abstract

This paper presents the results of long duration ethnographic research work with P6 and P7 pupils in a Scottish school. The research aimed to explore the manifestations of metalinguistic awareness in primary school pupils who were learning French under the auspices of what was then the recently promulgated Scottish language policy, the “1+2 Language Approach” (Scottish Government, 2012). In this paper, some description of the nature of metalinguistic awareness is offered, the aims and objectives of the study and its research methodology and methods, are described, and, finally, its findings, and some recommendations, are presented.
