• Resumen

  • This study was conducted with young Russian-speaking immigrant adults in Israel who are in the process of becoming trilingual in Russian, Hebrew, and English. The focus of the study is on these trilinguals¿ emotional experiences and attitudes with regard to a) themselves as speakers and learners; b) the process of language learning, and c) each of the languages in question. The findings suggest that the students display positive attitudes towards all of the languages in question and show increased self-confidence in the face of newly acquired multilinguality.
