Description: Rather than identifying additional factors that may possibly prove influential on individuals’ willingness to communicate, the main goal of this study is to determine whether and to what extent already recognized factors affect students from two different school types – vocational schools and grammar schools with special focus on modern languages. In order to additionally confirm or dismiss the universality of these findings, the current study looks at the results from a cross-cultural perspective by including participants from Austria and Serbia. The study offers a valuable insight into current trends in language teaching and opens up a discussion of the related issues.
