Abstract | This study investigates the challenges faced by advanced L2 learners of French in mastering the subjunctive mood, with a particular focus on their ability to recognize contexts where the subjunctive is not required. The primary objectives were to identify common error patterns, analyze the impact of verb conjugation on learner performance, and assess the effectiveness of current instructional practices. A sentence completion task was administered to 200 advanced L2 French learners, and the data were analyzed using both quantitative and qualitative methods to uncover the frequency and nature of errors in subjunctive usage. The results revealed that learners frequently default to using the subjunctive mood in contexts where it is not required, particularly when dealing with impersonal expressions and irregular verb forms. The error rate was significantly higher in second and third conjugation verbs compared to first conjugation verbs, highlighting the impact of morphological complexity. The findings suggest that current teaching methods, which often emphasize rule-based instruction, may not adequately prepare learners to apply the subjunctive in context-sensitive ways. The study concludes that a shift towards more contextualized and communicative teaching approaches is needed to help learners develop a deeper understanding of the subjunctive mood. These findings have important implications for curriculum design and teacher training in the field of second language acquisition. |
