Compétences orales et nouvelles technologies dans un cours de français langue étrangère

The oral communication skills should gain ground in language learning through new technologies. In this study examines the role that blogs, podcasts, social networks and telecollaborative projets have played in the development of oral production skills, as well as in learning and correction in pronunciation. During the period 2005 to 2015 several experiments with social media were conducted for this purpose as part of a French language course at the university of León in Spain. We will approach the results from our research in relation to the tools (blogs, podcasts, networks) and to the correction techniques for analyzing and evaluating the usefulness of new technologies in this training device.

Paul Perny y el aprendizaje de la lengua china : estudio del Dictionnaire français-latin-chinois de la langue mandarine parlée como parte de una obra didáctica

This paper defends the idea that the Dictionnaire français-latin-chinois de la langue mandarine parlée (1869), written by French clergyman Paul Perny, represents a groundbreaking work within the French to Chinese multilingual lexicography based on its strong communicative stance. It outlines the relationship between Perny’s work and the sinological tradition initiated by the Jesuits in China, and further analyzes the dictionary’s organizational structure, including the nature of its lexical inventory. It is noteworthy that this dictionary features a large number of terms belonging to the Catholic religion, even though it is possible to identify a significant and systematic presence of vocabulary specific to pagan Chinese tradition. The Dictionnaire français-latin-chinois de la langue mandarine parlée also stands out for including the vocabulary of modern Chinese along with numerous expressions and terms related to Chinese culture which enable a closer understanding of the Chinese cultural universe.
