    This study is within the general area of Second Language Acquisition (SLA), focusing on acquisition of German by university students living in Sweden in formal (class room) settings. The main aim of the study is, firstly, to find out what motivations and attitudes students in Sweden have towards learning German, and whether there any changing patterns in these attitudes as students progress through different stages in their language learning process. Secondly, the study investigates what relevance the attitudes and motivation of students may have for the popularization of learning German and other foreign languages in Sweden besides English and, more generally, for the EU principle of mother tongue plus two foreign languages. A questionnaire survey was carried out specifically for the present work, focusing on learners? motivation and language attitudes, as well as their awareness of projects initiated by the European Union (?mother tongue plus two languages? initiative and the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages CEFR) . The survey was conducted at the universities of Uppsala and Stockholm. 102 students taking courses in German at various levels from beginners to advanced participated at the survey.This study is within the general area of Second Language Acquisition (SLA), focusing on acquisition of German by university students living in Sweden in formal (class room) settings.
