  2. Listening & Reading:Passive or Active Linguistic Skills? • Shrum & Glisan (2005): “Listening and reading are often catalysts for speaking and/or writing” (Teachers’Handbook: Contextualized Language Instruction, 154). • Murphy (1991): “[…] speaking, listening, and pronunciation are characterized as reciprocally interdependent oral language processes” (Oral Communication in TESOL: Integrating Speaking, Listening, and Pronunciation, 51). • Vogely (1995): “[Listening comprehension] is becoming increasingly recognized as a process of constructing meaning based on multidimensional relationships between the learner and all of the internal and external influences and the intrinsic and extrinsic elements involved in that learner’s reality” (Perceived Strategy Use During Performance On Three Authentic Listening Comprehension Tasks, 41). C. Banzar SOCALLT 2008

  3. AUDITORY & VISUAL INPUT “[…] primary inputs from systems concerned with auditory, visual and body-spatial processing interconnect. Each sensory representation – how a word sounds, how it appears on the page, how it feels to articulate and to write, as well as what its referent looks like, sounds like, feels like, and so on – is complexly interconnected with each other.” (Garman, Psycholinguistics 76) C. Banzar SOCALLT 2008

  4. LINGUISTIC SIGNALS“ACCOUSTIC BUFFER”“AUDITORY MEMORY” FROM PERCEPTION TO ASSIMILATION (Garman, Psycholinguistics 183) C. Banzar SOCALLT 2008

  5. LISTENING & SPEAKING LISTENING SPEECH COMPREHENSIONPRODUCTION “built-in neural connections between hearing and speaking” “almost automatic relationship between acoustic impression and the mechanism for reproduction” (Nida, Learning by Listening 48) C. Banzar SOCALLT 2008

  6. READING & VISUALIZING “INFORMATION-STORING” “MEANING-CONSTRUCTION” (Vogely, Perceived Strategy 42) C. Banzar SOCALLT 2008

  7. LANGUAGE PROCESSING READING C. Banzar SOCALLT 2008

  8. PRONUNCIATION & FLUENCY: PEDAGOGICAL STRATEGIES • Macro- and micro-level approach • Learner’s affective states • Learner’s commitment (time & energy) • Segmental & supra-segmental level • Exchange of meaningful information (Murphy, Oral Communication 58-60) C. Banzar SOCALLT 2008

  9. FRENCH VOWELS: PHONETIC OPPOSITIONS [oe] - [o] - [y] oeuf - eau-vu soeur- sot-su [oe] - [ø] [y] - [u] peur- peulu-loup C. Banzar SOCALLT 2008

  10. NASAL VOWELS: AUDITORY & VISUAL INPUT [ε] - [ã] - [õ] in, im - an - on ain, aim - am - om ein, eim - en un, um - em un - an - on sain- cent- son lin-lent-longteint -tant- ton main-ment-monvin-vent- vont C. Banzar SOCALLT 2008

  11. TEACHING DIALOGUES & CONVERSATIONS • Bonjour, Monsieur! Madame! Mademoiselle! • Je suis … Je m’appelle … Et vous? Comment vous appelez-vous? • Enchanté(e). • Comment allez-vous? • Je vais très bien, merci (bien, assez bien, comme ci comme ça, pas mal, mal). • Au revoir! A bientôt! • A demain! A plus tard! • A toute à l’heure! C. Banzar SOCALLT 2008

  13. PERSPECTIVES OF USING MULTIMEDIA • INTERNET (Blackboard, Moodle, QUIA, websites) • PODCAST (audio, video, Internet) • VIDEO-CONFERENCING (interactive real time course delivery method) • IPOD (audio, video) • IPHONE (audio, video, Internet, voice recording, text messaging) C. Banzar SOCALLT 2008

  14. VERY BENEFICIAL:  computerized & online  challenging  instant feedback  possible to compare answers  to self-correct & re-submit  saves time and paper  impossible to lose homework  convenient to do at own pace  enhances self-learning process BUT: dependent on the Internet not tailored to beginners not interactive oral recordings too fast & unintelligible instructions not clear some activities too long impossible to turn in late work strict grading system examples need to be improved QUIA: STUDENTS’ SURVEY (Grambling State University, French 101 & 102, Fall 2007) C. Banzar SOCALLT 2008

  15. USING MULTIMEDIA: LEARNERS’ PERSPECTIVE • “I chose to use voice recording as an option, as it allows me to practice my pronunciation and challenges me to listen objectively to my attempts at the language, often helping me realize incorrect pronunciation and word groupings. Hearing my own voice repeatedly seems to help me better form words and memorize necessary information. I have found recording my voice and correcting my pronunciation and grammatical inconsistencies aid me to improve my oral presentations.” (Christopher Champion, French 306, Fall 2007). • “I-Phone has many features. One of them is a software that enables users to record up to hours of voice memory. This feature allows us, students, to record our professors, then go back and replay the new words and grammar explanations, so that we can comprehend and memorize the lesson better. […] Another alternative is a USB recorder that is much cheaper and easier to use than the I-Phone. But the main difference is that it needs to be connected to a desktop or laptop with a USB port with speakers in order to play the voice recordings. Since I have been using these devices, it has been an improvement in my grade and my understanding of the French language.” (Derreck Wellington, French 102, Spring 2008). C. Banzar SOCALLT 2008
