Didactologie et Phonetique Appropriative

This book presents a fresh perspective on language teaching, focusing on structural and communicative aspects to improve pronunciation correction and collaboration in pedagogy.

In Didactologie et Phonetique Appropriative, the author explores the epistemology of language teaching, highlighting the various focal points such as the teacher, content, methods, context, and learner. This examination reveals the limited emphasis placed on pronunciation correction within language instruction. Rather than simply acknowledging this shortcoming, Jacques Roy proposes a constructive pathway forward to address the current didactic and speech therapy impasse.

Roy advocates for a shift towards a structural and communicative appropriation concept in language pedagogy. He emphasizes the importance of collaboration among educators and learners, where all stakeholders define both negotiable and non-negotiable phonetic elements. This collaborative approach is framed within a multidisciplinary process that aligns with contemporary systemic approaches to language teaching.

Ultimately, Didactologie et Phonetique Appropriative serves as a guide for language teachers and didacticians, encouraging them to rethink their methodologies and embrace a more integrated, cooperative model. By doing so, the book aims to enhance the effectiveness of language education, particularly in the realm of pronunciation, fostering a more holistic understanding of language acquisition.
