Title
La Grande séduction pour le français parlé québécois : comment ne pas manquer le bateau ?
Abstract
The authors note that in the French-as-a-second-language classroom, authentic materials take an important place in the teaching process. They explain that using a movie, for example, requires instructors to use a “scaffold” pedagogical approach in teaching/learning activities in order to make the target language accessible to learners. In the case of using a popular mainstream movie, these activities aim to highlight differences between oral and written language with a view to helping learners appreciate the nuances and richness of “everyday” French spoken in Quebec. The authors explain that these nuances go beyond vocabulary and extend to idiomatic expressions, pronunciation, and cultural referents. In this article, the authors first describe how an excerpt from the Quebec-made 2003 film “La Grande Séduction” is used as a vehicle for pedagogical reflection. Then, they discuss practical applications of aural/oral activities inspired by “everyday” spoken Québécois French that draw the learners’ attention to the various and distinctive features of the oral language.
