Abstract	Although there is a direct link between pupil motivation and successful learning of foreign languages (FL), there appears to be a real paucity of research regarding carousels of activities as a pedagogical intervention, although carousels may often be used in the teaching and learning of FL. Located within two Year 6 French classrooms in a primary school in England, this article explores carousel-style lessons to enhance motivation and FL learning. A case study methodology was implemented and data were collected via observations of pupils engaged in carousels of activities and via questionnaires of pupil perceptions. The subsequent findings demonstrate that carousel-style lessons offer a very effective pedagogical practice in enhancing pupils' FL learning; these lessons are pupil-centred and pupil-led; they put pupils at the heart of their own learning and give them the locus of control of their learning; and they align well with motivational orientations, with a subsequent positive impact on pupil motivation and competence.
