Quelques moyens utilises en correction phonetique avec les etudiants dits "faux intermediaires" (Several Methods Used for Pronunciation Correction with Students Called "faux intermediaires.")
LeBel, Jean-Guy
The term "faux intermediaire" refers to a student who has studied French for one, two, or even several years, by means of one instructional method or another, and who has some knowledge, though often insufficient and incorrect, of French pronunciation. Three levels of student pronunciation proficiency are described: the phonological, the phonetic, and the "orthoepique." The student called "faux intermediaire" belongs to the second category. The pronunciation exercises and correction techniques suggested are designed for use in the classroom and in the language laboratory during 45-minute periods. Particular emphasis is placed on what the student is allowed to practice on his own. The student is never permitted to work independently on a pronunciation exercise, unless he has first practiced it in class and in the laboratory. Work in the lab is divided into three stages. At the first stage, the student records simple pronunciation exercises for approximately 5-6 minutes. He works for the same amount of time but with more difficult exercises at the second stage, and the third stage is based on the reading of a short text. It is suggested that the teacher keep a small file for each student in order to record his problems and progress. (PP)
