Full textThis thesis focuses on the acquisition of the simple past and the present perfect by French second language learners. The central issue underlying our research was to investigate the difficulties encountered by the learners and their possible causes. The analyses and the results are based on written data collected from various sources: free text writing, two experimental translation studies, a sentence completion task and a study which aims to measure the French learner's capacity to distinguish the two values of the passé composé. During our research, we also observed the influence of some factors such as the frequency of the English verb and the tense of the French verb. The observation of the learners' errors shed light on two opposite tendencies in correlation with the tasks undertaken. The learners produce lots of compound verbal forms (have play) when they have to do free-text writings or when they have to translate French verbal forms into English. These kinds of tasks seem to induce them to transfer the use of the French past forms into English. The learners use morphology and the distinction between compound and simple forms as a unique reference point. On the contrary, when the learners are faced with a completion task, another tendency appears which consists of the production of simple verbal forms (play). The results of the task in which we investigated the French learners' capacity to distinguish the two values of the passé composé suggest that the difficulties linked to the transfer of French compound tenses may be resolved by the teaching of these two values

Full textVideo games are not only a source of entertainment, as they also provide authentic language input for second language learners. Specifically, this study investigates the effect of video games on grammatical mastery of English as a second language (ESL) among a targeted sample of Quebecers. To test the hypothesis that video games impact a higher level of mastery of ESL, an online survey was distributed to 16 volunteer participants who were divided into two specific groups identified as gamers and non-gamers. Participants provided a written text in English of approximately 250 words on any topic which was evaluated for grammar and lexical quality. All participants were UQAC students, and all students were identified as originating from historically high percentage French-speaking environments. Moreover, a small sample of participants was directly observed during the process of gaming to evaluate the specific use and frequency of certain common verb tenses. All submissions were evaluated for the correct use of verb tense and data was gathered based on the number of grammatical and lexical errors. Comparison of these values allows for a qualitative means of analyzing these two groups of participants. In general, it was found that gamers statistically performed better than non-gamers, both grammatically and lexically. They also made fewer mistakes. However, it became apparent during this study that there are additional influences that may contribute to the mastery of ESL.

Full textThis thesis is a study of the prosodic interlanguage of students of English as a foreign language whose native language is French or Spanish. It is organized in two main parts. The first part is a study of the methods of conception and representation of prosody for the analysis of interlanguage – a hybrid linguistic system which includes characteristics of the student's native language, characteristics of the target language, and intermediate developmental or characteristics. This provides a methodological framework for the phonetic analysis and phonological interpretation of this type of prosodic systems. The second part is the implementation of this methodology through a contrastive interlanguage analysis conducted through the study of an oral corpus of students of English as a foreign language. The results show traces of the influence of their respective native languages at the phonetic and phonological levels, as well as developmental characteristics common to both groups of learners. The results serve as a basis for reflection on the levels of abstraction in the study of prosody and on the didactic priorities for teaching oral English at a university level

Full textThe aim of our study was to examine whether there is a link between starting age of learning English as a second language (L2) (four years vs six years old) and the mastery of the pronunciation of this language at nine years of age in an immersion school. To achieve this goal, we conducted a correlational study of two groups of francophone students enrolled in 4th grade of elementary school, as well as a control group of English-speaking pupils. The first group consisted of 16 French-speaking students who began learning English L2 at four years old, while the children were in pre-kindergarten. The second group consisted of 12 Francophone students who began learning English L2 at the age of six, while the children were in the first year of elementary school. Tests evaluated the L2 pronunciation of each student at the segmental level, foreign accent and intelligibility. The results of our study show that at the age of nine, the group who began learning English at age four obtained better results in the pronunciation of certain sounds and in the lack of a foreign accent, whereas for intelligibility, the two experimental groups performed similar to the control group. Our results suggest that there is a link between starting age and the pronunciation of certain sound segments and the degree of foreign accent, variables on which the earlier learners obtained better results.

Full textThe objective of this study was to determine the influence of the discourse structure of university lectures on note-taking. A model structured in a hierarchy of four ranks, isolated by syntactical, functional and intonational criteria, was used. The ranks are members, periods, episodes and lectures (the highest rank). The lectures and the notes were analysed following the model and a comparative study carried out. Several factors were found to influence note-taking: 1) repetition members stimulate students to take down points they have not already noted but check note-taking of points already in the notes; retrospective focussing members that repeat and recall members check note-taking, too, as students rarely note the same point twice. 2) in procedural aside members, the definitions and translations given are rarely taken down. 3) members which comment on the lecture content are not usually noted down. 4) prospective focussing members at the beginning of lectures are generally noted. 5) note-taking is often influenced by extralinguistic and intonational signals such as use of the blackboard and the presence of pauses, both of which

Full textThis dissertation describes some salient, yet variable, intrusive tokens of aspiration, often represented by /h/ or [h], in French learners’ L2 English productions (e.g. : I hate pasta instead of I ate pasta). The phoneme /h/ is weak in Indo-European languages. Historically, the consonant has undergone progressive lenition and exhibits strong intralinguistic and extralinguistic --diachronic, dialectal and stylistic-- variation. The glottal fricative /h/ at English word onsets is characterised by i) an open glottis and ii) the supraglottal configuration of the following vowel. In the present study, the onsets of English words are analysed in three types of data: i) a text read by 8 native English speakers and 10 French learners of English, ii) spontaneous speech elicited from 25 French learners and iii) a perception test taken by 30 French-speaking students. The frequency of intrusive tokens of aspiration at L2 English word onsets shows high inter- and intra-speaker variability. Importantly, however, they only surface i) in strict initial position or ii) after a vocalic sound. A pause, some glottalisation or some aspiration are three processes that contribute to increasing the time span between two vowels in a hiatus context. Glottalisation and aspiration both correspond to glottal tension. Illicit tokens of aspiration can be considered as occurrences of hypercorrection, which may result from : i) incomplete assimilation of the English [ʔ] ~ [h] contrast, ii) optional phonological repair of *#V, iii) a glottal constriction gesture that fails to reach its target (i.e. inchoative glottalisation) and an intrusive gesture of glottal opening. Phonetic corrective feedback in L2 learning is proposed. It aims at raising the learner’s awareness of i) glottal control for aspiration, glottalisation, and continuous modal voicing across word boundaries and ii) some syllabic specificities of French and English that make word boundaries potential stumbling blocks in French learners’ L2 English

Full textThis thesis studies the perception of French accented English by native English speakers. It presents the results of a mixed methods study aimed at exploring (1) whether both incorrect word stress and incorrect vowel reduction have an impact on intelligibility, (2) if so, whether they interfere equally, (3) whether the omission of vowel reduction has a greater or lesser impact on intelligibility than misplacement, (4) whether rightward misplacement of word stress has a greater impact on intelligibility than leftward misplacement, and (5) whether L2 speech that typically misproduces word stress and vowel reduction is more intelligible to listeners who are familiar with the accent. Sixty native Canadian English listeners performed a close-shadowing task whereby they evaluated 80 Canadian French (CF) accented two-, three- and four-syllable words categorized according to the naturally occurring prosodic errors they contain. Thirty native English judges had had little or no exposure to CF L2 speech (i.e., are non-accent-tolerant) and 30 use, or are in daily contact with French and/or French-accented English (i.e., are accent-tolerant). The judges’ responses were analysed qualitatively to determine which prosodic error contribute to loss of intelligibility, and quantitatively to determine which errors slow word identification. Results show that both incorrect stress and vowel reduction interfere with an L2 speaker’s intelligibility (Research Question 1) but they do so unequally. Incorrect vowel reduction is more detrimental (Research Question 2). Results also show that omitting vowel reduction is less detrimental to intelligibility than misplacing it (Research Question 3). As for stress, intelligibility is more impaired by rightward than leftward misplacement (Research Question 4). As for accent familiarity, the accent tolerant group accurately identified more words than the non-accent-tolerant group, suggesting that exposure to a particular L2 does benefit a listener (Research Question 5), though the response times for both listener groups were statistically similar. A possible explanation for these mixed results is that the accent-tolerant listeners, because they speak French, activate more lexical candidates during lexical access, thus slowing down their reaction times.

Full text"Notre recherche se situe dans le domaine de l’apprentissage des langues assisté par ordinateur (ALAO), plus précisément dans celui de l’intégration des jeux numériques pour l’apprentissage du vocabulaire. Bien que les recherches antérieures aient montré que l’apprentissage intentionnel de vocabulaire et la réutilisation systématique de mots s’avèrent bénéfiques pour l’apprentissage, les résultats des études ayant analysé l’utilisation des jeux numériques pour l’apprentissage intentionnel du vocabulaire ne font pas l’unanimité. Lors de l’utilisation de ces outils, les gains lexicaux des apprenants ne sont pas toujours significatifs, et, dans certains cas, les participants ne manifestent pas d’attitude positive envers leur utilisation. Pour mieux comprendre ces enjeux, nous avons effectué une recherche mixte visant à examiner le potentiel pédagogique d’un jeu numérique pour l’apprentissage du vocabulaire chez des élèves d’anglais langue seconde (ALS) du secondaire. Vingt-cinq étudiants ont utilisé le jeu numérique vocabulary.com pour apprendre 20 mots cibles. Au moyen des tests de vocabulaire, des questionnaires de perception, des observations, des traces numériques et des entrevues, nous avons étudié les gains lexicaux de participants, leur perception du jeu numérique ainsi que la façon dont ils l'ont utilisé. Les résultats ont montré que les gains lexicaux obtenus par les participants ont été significatifs. Bien qu’ils considéraient que le jeu numérique était surtout un outil d’apprentissage, ils trouvaient que cet outil avait contribué à l’apprentissage des nouveaux mots de vocabulaire. Finalement, grâce aux analyses effectuées à l’aide du cadre conceptuel de la Théorie de l’Activité, nous avons trouvé que des facteurs comme le niveau de complexité des questions, l’utilité perçue des mots proposés, le recours à des outils d’aide et la priorité donnée à la compétition ont affecté la façon dont chaque participant a utilisé le jeu numérique pour apprendre du vocabulaire."

Full textThis work examines the effect of learning conditions on the evolution of the neurocognitive mechanisms used by French speakers to process a second language (English). We used behavioural (acceptability judgments) and electrophysiological (event-related potentials) measures. Two types of training were compared, designed to reflect two learning situations : through exposure (implicit learning) or instruction (explicit learning).Two experiments were conducted. In the first one (E1), we studied how our trainings affected the processing of morphosyntactic violations working in a similar or conflictual way in the L2 and L1 of our participants. In the second experiment (E2), we tried to reduce the bias towards explicit learning entailed by the presence of violations, by studying how learners process temporary syntactic anomalies triggered by prosody-syntax mismatches.Results show a beneficial effect for both types of training. Explicit learning proved to be slightly more effective in improving the processing of a coflictual structure. In E2 it reduced the impact of individual abilities. E1 confirmed that the level of attention to grammaticality affects the nature and amplitude of ERP components. In E2, implicit training was linked to a faster and more automatic processing of incongruities.This research confirms that learning conditions can affect L2 processing even in a short time and for intermediate learners, but underlines the importance of reducing the biases towards explicit processing that are inherent to the EEG violation paradigm

Full textThis study of interlanguage pragmatics (ILP) investigates empirical data on English as a foreign language (EFL) learners in French secondary schools to contribute to our understanding of the development of second language (L2) politeness. With the increase in multilingual interactions around the globe, awareness of what is polite or impolite has become indispensable. However, pragmatic skills are generally not easily acquired in foreign language settings. The observation that even advanced learners do not necessarily exhibit target-like norms has led to calls for further investigation (Kasper & Schmidt, 1996; Bardovi-Harlig, 1999). Although there is now a solid body of research in this area, most studies have focused on adult learners (Kasper & Rose, 1999) using written discourse completion tasks (see e.g., Hill, 1997; Billmyer & Varghese, 2000; Su, 2010; Jebahi, 2011) to elicit explicit pragmatic knowledge (Bardovi-Harlig, 1999; 2013). The present study seeks to extend the scope of ILP research by focusing on a large group of young, beginning learners using mixed methods including a cartoon oral production task, open-ended role plays, and naturalistic data from classroom video recordings. Participants were some 240 secondary school learners at three different levels (age 11 to 18) to allow the tracking of ILP development with language proficiency. To contextualise findings, secondary data was collected in the form of additional analysis of classroom films, textbook analysis, and teacher interviews. The analysis of request data is based on the seminal L2 discourse analytic framework cross-cultural speech act research project (Blum-Kula et al., 1989) which allows the analysis of both pragmalinguistic and sociopragmatic dimensions of requests. L2 pragmatic development was observed almost exclusively in terms of increased frequency of pragmalinguistic strategies, particularly by the end of upper secondary school, less so in terms of range of strategies or sociopragmatic features, and this across all data collection methods. French baseline data (L1) revealed similar development, suggesting that L1 transfer may be one explanation for the L2 development observed in the study, particularly since analysis of secondary data revealed little focus on ILP in teaching programs

Full textDecisions regarding languages, or what is called family language policy, is the main focus of the present study which deals with the transmission of English in francophone families living in France. To better understand how their decisions are taken, this research aims at analyzing the underlying parents' representations and the way they account for their choices. The results show how negative their representations of foreign language teaching in France are, which explains why they tend to favor a bilingual education for their children. Their representations of bi/plurilingualism, along with the English language, are positive and point to the fact they want to pass on a language that they are particularly fond of and which is part of their identity as plurilingual individuals. Their experience with languages, the project of bilingualism for their children, the questions raised by what it means to speak a language other than the native language, their investment and the place of the child within their decision making process enable us to better understand their family language policies

Full textThe main objective of this research was to examine the interaction between ESL and FSL sixth graders in Quebec and Ontario communicating in a Tandem chat project. More specifically, it aimed to find out if participants provided each other with different types of corrective feedback and whether this feedback led to repair. It also examined how the students viewed this project. The chat sessions took place over four months and involved the completion of 16 tasks (8 in English and 8 in French). The results showed that L2 Grade 6 students provided feedback to their chat partners in 370 instances. The students in both the ESL and FSL exchanges provided three types of feedback: explicit, recasts, and negotiation of form. A major finding is that unlike previous studies involving young learners, the preference was for explicit feedback rather than recasts. In contrast to the Morris’ (2005) study which also involved young learners engaged in chat, the rate of repair was very low. Unlike the FSL students, the great majority of ESL students liked the chat exchange and found it useful not only for learning their L2 but also their L1. The pedagogical implications of this study as well as suggestions for future research are discussed.

The participants were ESL pre-service teachers from Québec who provided tutoring to small groups of secondary 1 ESL students located in Mexico. The study focused on three research questions: (1) the types of scaffolding provided by the tutors, (2) the tutors’ perceptions of teaching within this environment, and (3) the learners` perception of their learning experience. Data collection included screen capture of the online sessions and surveys. In addition to the four types of scaffolding previously identified by Pawan (2008) – linguistic, conceptual, social and cultural, a fifth type, particular to the SLMS environment – technical scaffolding, also emerged. Both tutors and ESL students were generally positive about their online experiences.

Full textResearchers increasingly highlight the crucial role of prosody in communication, speech comprehensibility, and the detection of a foreign accent. Thus, the learning and teaching of English as a foreign language would benefit from prioritising the suprasegmental, or prosodic, features (i.e., stress, rhythm, and intonation), rather than the segmental features (i.e., consonants and vowels) as many teachers tend to do, all the more so as prosodic errors often have a more detrimental effect than segmental errors. The present doctoral thesis starts from the hypothesis that French-speaking learners of English could improve their oral skills (production and perception) more if they were primarily taught the prosodic characteristics of the target language, rather than putting the segments in the foreground. Our experimental study compares the impact of a “prosody-based” teaching approach with that of a “segment-based” approach on non-beginner French learners of English. Although the two teaching methods enabled the participants to improve their L2 production and perception skills, compared with a non-treated control group, neither of the two methods enabled them to improve their oral skills more than the other, suggesting that it is important to include segmental and suprasegmental aspects alike in the teaching of English as a foreign language

Full textThe aim of our study is to modelise the prosodic interlanguage of Francophone learners of English in order to provide useful criteria for a semi-automatic assessment of their prosodic level in English. Learner assessment is a field that requires to be very rigorous and fair when setting up criteria that ensure validity, reliability, feasibility and equality, whereas English prosody is highly variable. Hence, few studies have carried out research in assessing prosody because it represents a real challenge. To address this issue, a specific strategy has been devised to elaborate a methodology that would ensure assessing a reading task successfully.The approach relies upon the constant symbiosis between prosody and a speaker’s subjective response to their environment. Our methodology, also known as « profiling », first aims at selecting relevant native perceived and acoustic prosodic features that will optimize assessment criteria by using their degree of emphasis and creating speakers’ prosodic profiles. Then, using the Longdale-Charliphonia corpus, the learner's productions are analysed acoustically. The automatic classification of the learners based on acoustic or perception prosodic variables is then submitted to expert aural assessment which assesses the learner evaluation criteria.This study achieves: A modelisation of non-native English prosody based on assessment grids that rely upon features of both native and non-native speakers of English, namely, speech rate – with or without the inclusion of pauses, register, melody and rhythm,A semi-automatic evaluation of 15 representative learners based on the above modelisation – ranking and marking,A comparison of the semi-automatic results with those of experts' auditory assessment; correspondence between the two varies from 56.83% to 59.74% when categorising the learners into three prosodic proficiency groups

Full textThis PhD thesis was motivated by the weak level of French university student using English for specific purposes in listening to English. We first established which aspects of English phonology may cause listening comprehension difficulties for native speakers of French. We then analyzed the place of phonology and listening skills in the history of English teaching in France and the cognitive processes involved in the act of listening to a foreign language. We concluded this review by suggesting that focus should be put on teaching and learning the language through written transcriptions of oral documents, rather than on listening strategies. This proposed change in the instructional paradigm invited research into new modes of listening to audio or video files and we chose to explore the value of a didactic approach to sound-editing within the framework of the Cognitive Load Theory. The hypothesis is that the sound-editing processes studied could reduce the intrinsic and extraneous cognitive loads linked to the task of understanding spoken English. However, checking this hypothesis against empirical data required possessing a valid tool to assess listening comprehension through written transcriptions. A linguistic methodology was built to that purpose and applied to the quantitative analysis of transcriptions written by students during the four experiments conducted to validate our working hypothesis. A qualitative analysis was also carried out. The results of both these analyses point the way to new proposals regarding teaching and learning English listening comprehension skills based on innovative multimedia instructional designs within a blended learning environment

Full textDrawing on a sociolinguistic perspective, this study examined the code-switching practices of five elementary core ESL teachers (3rd cycle) in French-medium schools in the Québec City area. The study, which involved case studies, focused on five research questions: (1) the amount of French, the L1, used by the ESL teachers, (2) the reasons why the teachers used the L1 in their classes, (3) the teachers’ views concerning the factors that influenced their L1 use, (4) the influence of the teachers’ language choice on students’ language choice, (5) the students’ perceptions of their teachers and their own L1/L2 use. Data were collected over two different periods of observation in the teachers’ classrooms during the 2007-2008 academic year. Four main sources of data were obtained: videotaped recordings of the lessons observed, stimulated recalls, an end-of study interview with each teacher, and a student questionnaire. Amongst the findings, the following are of particular note. First, in contrast to past studies, the present study opted for an emic perspective in which teachers themselves were asked to identify the reasons for which they used the target language based on video clips of their lessons. This fine-grained analysis brought to light a more nuanced analysis notably with respect to certain reasons (e.g., saving time, fatigue) which, even if previously evoked in interviews, could elude inclusion in research etic-based analyses of lessons. Amongst other things, the present study brought to light one reason not previously mentioned in other studies, i.e., the use of time-outs which performed a symbolic boundary maintaining function to preserve the “Englishness” of the ESL classroom. Secondly, the present study extends research which has infrequently reported on individual variation amongst teachers with respect to L1 use within their own lessons. In contrast to past studies, where individual variation within teachers’ lessons has typically been confined to time (Duff & Polio, 1990; Edstrom, 2006; Nagy, 2009a), the present study contributes to those few studies (De la Campa & Nassaji, 2009; Rolin-Ianziti & Brownlie, 2002) which also pinpoint differences in the reasons for such variation amongst case study participants. Thirdly, as in Carless’ (2004) study, one teacher in the present study, Kora, stood out from the others in terms of having a consistently low rate of L1 use (less than 1%), thus thus underscoring his contention that the teacher’s experiences, beliefs and competencies may be a more significant factor in terms of target language use than the students’ level of language proficiency. The case of Kora lends credence to those teachers and researchers who have argued from a pedagogical perspective (Carless, 2004b; Chambers, 1991; Nagy, 2009a; Turnbull, 2006) for the need to enhance teachers’ awareness of the strategies which can be used to increase target language use in the second language classroom. Fourthly, with respect to the impact of the teacher's choice of language on that of the students', the present study extends Liu et al.’s (2004) findings through the analysis of a very different school cultural context involving ESL teaching in the French-medium school system within the province of Quebec. Fifthly, as revealed by the student questionnaire results, despite relatively high levels of English use in their classes, the Cycle 3 elementary grade students did not feel unduly stressed. In contrast to previous studies (Levine, 2003; Macaro & Lee, 2013; Rolin-Ianziti & Varshney, 2009) which have focused on students’ perceptions of teachers’ L1 and L2 use, the present study also examined the latter’s perception of strategy use within their classes. Results reveal that students perceived their teachers as using strategies to a certain degree, particularly in regard to the use of visuals. However, what emerged more strongly was students’ perception of themselves as using strategies to communicate in the target language. Finally, from a methodological point of view, this study appears to be the first to have analyzed percentages for the use of English and French using digital editing features. In past studies, researchers have typically resorted to word counts or timing with a stopwatch, procedures which can be more onerous and time-consuming. Implications for code-switching practices in the classroom as well as suggestions for future research are also discussed.

Full textMetaoperational grammar aims at developing a learning methodology of ESL (English as a Second Language) founded on a theoretical system and setting up a basis for the rational appropriation of the target language. While research in linguistics shows interest in building up hypotheses and formal frameworks, the didactic transposition turns out to be uncertain and contradictory, manifesting diversity in approaches. Whether descriptive, structural or transformational, the views most present at the interface of learning and teaching stick to the rule, which tends to reduce the grammar of languages to a set of prescriptions/proscriptions. The theoretical work of H. Adamczewski has led to the development of a grammar of meatoperations. Construed as a system of systems, any language is conceived as an active entity whose final product, the linear sequence, needs to be deconstructed. Both natural and theoretical metalanguages provide keys to the source and target languages. All languages are governed by identical laws and principles. Despite obvious surface differences in coding, French and English manifest their capacity to signify by means of similar phase 1/phase 2 operations and processes. Utterer and co-utterer thus resort to the same paradigms as their discourse unfolds. Second language learners may accordingly develop an awareness of the markers (or tracers) imprinted in the linearity of the source and target languages. Such linearity needs to be deconstructed in order for meaning to be truly explicitated. This makes the search for invariants both necessary and legitimate if appropriation is to be rational and successful. To reach the coding system indeed is an objective pre-condition, whose foundation justifies the relevance of the non-linguistic/linguistic distinction

Full textThis thesis lies within the framework of an international research programme - galatea - focusing on intercomprehension among romance-language speakers. Processes and strategies used by french-speaking readers in their initial approach to spanish texts are studied. Different aspects of readers' verbalized reflections are pointed out and classified through their reports during reading comprehension tasks. More specifically, the analysis concerns metalinguistic aspects of reading comprehension, that is, awareness in implementing their linguistic knowhow, perceptions and knowledge. A typology of readers' discourses is proposed by considering the extent of sollicitation and formalization involved. The most considerable aspects of the metalinguistic activity (role of the readers' mother tongue and of other romance languages with which they are familiar, awareness of typolinguistic proximity, metalinguistic vocabulary. . . ) are discussed. Finally, data analysis results are used as a basis for suggestions on further didactic applications hinging on metalinguistic activity

Full textHow is metalanguage taught during initial learning of language literacy within a multilingual teaching environment ? what role does it have in the process of language acquisition and how do pupils acknowledge it ? how do teachers convey metalanguage into their speech and their recommendations, and how do they determine goals relative to it ? how do they represent metalanguage and combine it with the comprehensive skills of french and nonfrench speaking pupils ? the comparison between fnl literacy teaching habits and ffl's higlights the different functions assigned to literacy skill and to methodologies which are developped in acquiring this literacy skill. Paradoxically, teachers make a fairly identical use of metalanguage, both in fnl and ffl _ among others, the metaphoric process of metalanguage is systematically chosen. In fact, teachers resort to metaphore as an explanatory system. Chosing metaphores hardly makes easier the development of metalinguistic skills and undermines the setting up of metalinguistic markers. The latter are essential to the understanding of linguistic models with which pupils are confronted. On a didactic level, the use of metalanguage is modified and proposed for learning literacy in ffl, fln and fsl. The modification provokes a transformation of methodologies which are specially suggested in ffl and fsl learning at primary school level

Full textLeaning a second language in an institutional setting implie a specific type of language activity. The research then must deal with the acquisition of second languages in a "natural" setting, and with the "grammaticalisation" processes. In both kinds of settings, learners have a mealinguistic activity which one must study if one wants to guide it through efficient metalinguistic teaching. In order to study this activity, it is necessary to analyse learners' verbalisation and to compare them with their linguistic activities both in comprehension and in production. On thus needs a theoretical linguistic description of the two systems (source and target). The particular field which is studied here is the aspect tense domain (passe simple passe compose imparfait and english preterit), where the different kinds of lexical verbal constructions are taken into account. One can then study the possible efficiency of teaching in the processes of acquisition learning, and the possible role of a type of mealanguage which would be adapted both to linguistic reality and to the melalinguistic representations of learners

Full textThe objective of this research is to facilitate the acquisition process of french adult learners of english. The hypothesis is that learners must know how they learn, and that consequently teachers must have an adequate knowledge of acquisition processes. Part a describes the environment of the research : the university of technology of compiegne and the various institutions which have taken part in the experiments. Then the specific objectives are listed, followed by a description of the tools that were used to implement and control the various experiments. Part b first deals with an analysis of brain mechanisms in verbal communication, then with the various cognitive attitudes as described by theorists. The results of a number of surveys are presented so that the various parameters which must be taken into account before planning a course can be analysed. The final chapters of part b are devoted to a study of how french adults progress in verbal communication and how they envisage the role of culture in the learning process. Part c begins with the presentation of a learning model, followed by the description of system of methodological counselling. Six courses at different levels are presented to check the validity of the methodological assumptions in a non-experimental environment. The last part (d) is a study of how french learners perceive the roles of teachers and institutions (. . . )

For specific applications and not a special l. ; c)est methodology as a selection and adaptation of methodological procedures belonging to the teaching of GPE; D) the EST teacher is not alone in defining what the good user of EST should be - scientists and technicians also have their own acceptability standards. E) the necessity to teach communication strategies which, for EST, are most often strategies of avoidance (resorting to non-verbal devices, using mixed verbal visual, symbolic explicit discourse) which characterize scientific and technological communication regardless of the language used (French, English, Spanish, etc. )

Full textThis study investigates the writing quality of adult learners’ essays in English as a foreign language, in multilingual Algeria. It sets out to examine the nature of learners’ difficulties during the writing activity, and to identify their possible origins. Using a qualitative approach, the study consists, firstly, of a linguistic and a textual analysis of some argumentative and narrative written texts produced by EFL students in English; secondly, of an analysis of students’ representations about the teaching and the learning of English by means of a questionnaire; thirdly, of a look into high school syllabi design (Classical Arabic, French and English) and into the syllabus for the B. A. Of English. The discussion of the findings shows that the major difficulties, which multilingual students are facing while writing, mainly remain at the levels of global coherence and local cohesion, even though syntactic, grammatical, lexical and typographical errors can still be found at this stage of learning. Argumentative texts seem to be more difficult to produce than narrative ones. Among the factors that underline such difficulties are: transfer/interference phenomena, the lack of a contrastive approach in the setting of high school syllabi, learners’ motivation, their degree of proficiency in the target language, their partial knowledge and strategic knowledge regarding the notions of coherence and cohesion, and the way writing is taught at university. Some of the implications of these findings for foreign language training in writing are made explicit, among which the contributions of reading and collaborative writing as possible means to improve learners’ written proficiency

Full textCreation of an interactive video media for teaching and learning oral english hypotheses - digital video and its computer interfaces do not produce negative reactions in student users (the difference is imperceptible). Secondary objective : some users are convinced than they are working on an ordinary vcr and analog video. - the student users (and some teachers) show an interest in digital video and its advantages : access to a choice of individual documents, individual choice of sequencing, in relation to the learners'level of english. Experiments 1) non-correlations - perceived usefulness of the pedagogical tool/use of videocassettes and use of foreign television programs. - use of audio cassettes/perceived usefulness of the session ; comprehension test scores at the beginning and end of the program and the difference between them. In all cases, the khi-2 calculation showed a lack of correlation between the "personal use of media" and "perceived usefulness of the tool" variables. Ii correlations -the higher the diploma obtained, the higher the students' estimate of their level of english. - groups of more than 11 students approve highly of the media tested during the session. - the groups with 11 people or more obtained the best score at all questionnaires of comprehension. - use of foreign television programs/perceived usefulness of the session. Increased usage of videocassettes goes with perceived usefulness of the session, for improved oral comprehension of english. Iii) factorial analysis of correlations - those who frequently use media and obtain an excellent score on the first comprehension questionnaire. - students whose fully appreciative the pedagogical tool used, finds the session interesting for improving his or her english, and obtains an excellent score on the final comprehension questionnaire. This type of student identifies himself as being a "sequential" learner, "shy", subject oriented" and "more visually oriented"

Full textA view of speech as the arbitration of timing procedures will provide dynamic comparisons between two natural languages. L1 calls on auditive, gestural and visual modes in progressive processes that occur over longer periods and in stages imposed by a strictly anatomical order of development. L2 however has to call upon accelerating procedures arbitrated by restricted input and may not even be an event in the memory. There is also the renegotiating effect on L2 intake by L1 literacy. Its mental graphics will inevitably eclipse the indispensable phase of pre-lexical arbitration by the phonetic and articulatory modules. This explains the omissions, intrusions, shifting and substitutions in the English of French speakers who equally hear these effects in real time. A new "phonogenic" model will be served by metaphonic comparisons of speech (spontaneous vocalising) and reading, highlighted by pictographic illustrations to colour L1 and L2 orthographic, prosodic and phonemic transcriptions

Full textThe @Libyan University students at the faculties of agriculture at Al-Fateh University, who have passed a two years ESP course, remain unable to use English effectively in their academic study. This shortcoming may be attributed to more than one factor, including : teacher performance, the learners themselves, the designated syllabus, the methods of teaching or to all these factors. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the ESP course (for the faculty of agriculture) by investigating the reasons behind the ineffectiveness of the ESP course. This evaluation process covers : the teachers performance, the learners, the designated syllabus and methods of teaching applied. This study is conducted on a sample of students and a sample of the English language teachers at the faculties of agriculture. The designated syllabus and the methodology applied in teaching are also investigated by means of class observations, and questionnaires addressing both teachers and students. The questionnaires cover the needs of the learners and their motivation, the syllabus, and the methodology

Full textThis thesis, written in a plural theoretical framework, focuses on poetry in second-language teaching and learning. Combining a literary and linguistic perspective with insights from second language acquisition research, it deals with the integration of poetry in the teaching of English in secondary schools in France. Involving class-groups of teenagers aged between 13 and 16 years, this research based on intervention includes three studies that make it possible to observe the opportunities for L2 development provided by the different activities associated with poetic texts and to investigate the manner in which students relate to poetry, in terms of representations, attitudes and experiences. The first study, based on a quasi-experimental protocol, highlights the potential benefits of voicing poems, with or without memorization, for lexical development. Through indirect observation, the second study sheds light on the advantages and limits of sharing the experience of reading poetry and raises the issue of task design and mediation. In the last study, the analysis of the written productions of the learners, crossed with the questionnaires, reveals the specificity of poetic creative writing and its rich potential for L2 development. Our results suggest that most students have a neutral attitude towards poetry. They mainly associate it with academic experience and its regular formal aspects. Rote learning and recitation re-emerge as unpleasant school memories. These three studies make it possible to offer some ideas for reflection and pedagogical actions

Full textThis research is composed of two complementary parts. The first one entitled "secondary school teaching and the study of French literary texts and texts by French speaking authors "is devoted first to the analysis of the French language situation in morocco as well as to the dichotomy of whether to consider French as a language of communication or as a language of culture. In the second stage, this part examines, in the light of both the receptive and the didactic theories, the position of French literary texts and texts by French - speaking authors at the level of both primary and secondary school teaching. It also examines the criteria behind selecting those texts and the methods used for their understanding. The reading of French literary texts at the university level is the subject of the second part. It is related, on the one hand, to a knowledge of the authors, to the works under study, and to the aspirations and expectations of the reading public questioned on the subject matter. On the other hand, it focuses on a corpus of university research papers dealing with the literature of both the "Maghreb" and the negro-African countries. These works are analysed in such a way as to find out about the modes of perception and the different intellectual operations used by the students for their interpretation of literary texts

It has looked at the way written expression is taught in French in comparison to the way it is taught in English and vernacular languages. This work has been divided into three parts. The first part presents the geolinguistic and sociolinguistic situation in Zambia, as well as the controversial issue of the language of instruction in the school system. The second part deals with the question of the theoretical background of the research in relation to text linguistics and written expression teaching theory. This second part deals also with the actual teaching of written expression in Zambian languages, in English and in French. Lastly, the third part presents our qualitative and quantitative analysis of pupils written productions on the basis of the evaluation grid developed by Gerard Vigner in 2001
