Abstract
Research shows that speech work is a commonly neglected aspect in the teaching of French as a foreign language in spite of difficulties experienced by learners in this regard. The current study seeks to examine pronunciation difficulties on the part of secondary school learners of French in Kenya following numerous reports showing evidence of this problem in the national oral examinations. The relevant data will be collected from thirty secondary schools systematically sampled from the Counties of Nairobi and Bungoma. As such, the study sample will comprise recordings of topical exposes by 60 students of French in fourth form, three text books used in the teaching of French in Kenyan secondary schools, and responses to a questionnaire addressed to 30 teachers of French. The recorded expositions will be analyzed by both Contrastive Analysis and Error Analysis while a speech work-based content analysis will be done on the text books. The data collected will be descriptively presented by use of frequencies, tables and percentages, It is hoped that the findings and recommendations of this study will shape and improve actions by concerned stakeholders in Kenya namely students and teachers of French, teacher trainers, policy makers as well as researchers in this field Plusieurs recherches montrent qu'actuellement I'enseignement du Francais Langue Etrangere continue a marginaliser la prononciation malgre les difficultes qui abondent chez les apprenants a I' egard de cet aspect. C'est dans ce contexte que la presente etude va aborder la problematique de prononciation chez les apprenants de FLE au Kenya compte tenu des difficultes de prononciation constamment signalees dans les rapports portant sur les examens nationaux oraux du francais. L'etude sera menee dans trente eccles secondaires .kenyanes systematiquement choisies dans les departements de Nairobi et Bungoma. Ainsi, notre corpus d'analyse comprendra les enregistrements d'exposes en francais par 60 apprenants de francais en quatrieme annee, trois manuels utilises pour l'enseignement de francais a I'ecole secondaire au Kenya et des reponses de trente enseignants de francais qui repondront a un questionnaire. Les productions orales des apprenants seront analysees selon deux modeles notamment l'Analyse Contrastive et l'Analyse d'Erreur alors que les manuels seront soumis a une analyse d'aspects phonetiques et prosodiques. Les donnees recoltees seront presentees par moyen de frequences, tableaux et pourcentages. Nous esperons que les resultats et recommandations de cette etude seront utiles aux differentes personnes et institutions impliquees dans la didactique du francais au Kenya surtout les apprenants et les enseignants de la matiere, les formateurs des enseignants, les decideurs politiques et les chercheurs dans ce domaine.
