OÙ EN EST-ON AVEC L’ENSEIGNEMENT DE LA PRONONCIATION DU FRANÇAIS LANGUE ÉTRANGÈRE À L’ÉCOLE PRIMAIRE EN GRÈCE ?
HOW FAR HAVE WE GOTTEN WITH FRENCH PRONUNCIATION TEACHING IN GREEK ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS?

Summary/Abstract: In this article, we present an overview of a survey conducted among FSL teachers in selected primary schools in Greece. The purpose of this article is to account for all aspects of teaching French pronunciation in FSL classes at the primary school level. The results of the survey demonstrate that teachers are fully committed in teaching phonological skills, in identifying and registering pronunciation errors, regardless of the fact that their students come from different ethnic backgrounds and do not share the same mother tongue. The research also revealed that, regardless of their ability to identify and register pronunciation errors, FSL teachers do not necessarily possess the appropriate didactic know-how to address these problems. Our survey highlights the need to provide specialized training to FSL teachers, based on a structured approach for teaching pronunciation through remedial activities and diversified techniques.
