Conception d’une liste de critères adaptable et adaptée à l’évaluation de la prononciation de l’anglais par les apprenants francophones

In France, French learners' production of L2 English is usually evaluated following the criteria listed out in a Cambridge assessment scale, a Baccalauréat grille d'évaluation, the CLES criteria and the descriptors of the Common European Framework of Reference. These sets lack phonetic detail. Drawing on previous literature and based on commonly observed L2 English mispronunciations, this talk offers a comprehensive classification of the phonetic and phonological characteristics that can make a French native speaker sound « foreign » when they speak English. Each feature is associated with first, references to the literature, and second, a set of phrases that can be used for practice, testing and research. Although specific to English, the grid is designed to be an evolutive performing aid, licensed under Creative Commons. As such, it can be adapted to suit a learner's profile (L1 ; levels in L2 and L3) and the speaking task requested by a teacher. As far as assessment is concerned, the grid is also useful for teachers to monitor the progress of learners at all levels. Finally, as it offers a review of the literature in a nutshell, the grid can shed light on the research domains that could be further explored.
