Au travers d’un contenu dynamique (diaporamas, enregistrements, vidéos, témoignages et expérimentations sur le terrain avec des apprenants), cette formation de cinq jours répond aux questions que les enseignants de langue seconde/étrangère en exercice, les futurs enseignants et les conseillers pédagogiques se posent afin d’optimiser la prononciation : Quoi enseigner ? Quoi corriger ? Quand enseigner ? Quand corriger ? Comment enseigner ? Comment corriger ? Objectif Au terme de cette formation, vous serez en mesure de diagnostiquer les difficultés de prononciation de vos apprenants et d'intervenir efficacement pour la leur améliorer grâce aux 10 Grands Moyens de Correction Phonétique concrètement démontré et mis en pratique pendant le stage. Présentation Quand bien même un locuteur de langue seconde/étrangère maîtrise la grammaire de la langue qu’il veut utiliser, si sa prononciation n’est pas suffisamment intelligible, il rencontre de nombreuses difficultés, i.e.: même s’il est compétent en entretien d’embauche, l’employeur qui lui pose des questions se focalise sur l’approximation de son élocution plutôt que sur ses compétences professionnelles. En effet, l’intelligibilité s’avère la condition nécessaire du désir d’échange langagier. Plus l’interlocuteur doit déchiffrer ce qui lui est dit, moins il est disponible pour la conversation: Si l’intelligibilité de la langue parlée est l’objectif premier de l’enseignement d’une langue seconde, cette prise en compte devrait être un devoir sur le plan de l’éthique de l’enseignement et une exigence de la part des étudiants (LeBel, 2011). La formation, assurée par Steeve Mercier (Ph. D.) et Olivier Massé (Ing. Form.), avec la participation de Jean-Guy LeBel (Ph. D.), s’inscrit dans cet esprit. Ces plurilingues et spécialistes d’enseignement et de correction phonétique combinent 80 années d’expérience, auprès de publics variés (étudiants internationaux, immigrants économiques, réfugiés, personnes atteintes de pathologies du langage), qu’ils seront heureux de partager avec vous. Les stratégies d’enseignement et de correction délivrées lors cette formation permettent d’optimiser l'efficience de celles proposées par nos formations en Approche Neurolinguistique de l’enseignement des langues secondes /étrangères (ANL). Objectifs et description de la formation Démarche Exploiter l’apport des neurosciences cognitives à l’enseignement/apprentissage d’une langue seconde/étrangère; Maîtriser les systèmes phonologique/phonétique du français; Déterminer les principales difficultés/erreurs de prononciation du français langue seconde/étrangère et en diagnostiquer la nature; Exploiter différentes techniques de correction phonétique.
