Frequently asked questions

A clear distinction must be made between sound production skills from that of know how to write them down.

 

The first starts with good  auditory perception , which enables us to distinguish between sounds.

Next, the motor skills are involved: they enable precise coordination of the muscles of the tongue, lips, palate, jaw and larynx to produce appropriate intonation patterns and articulate sounds correctly.

The acquisition of "correct" pronunciation is established and reinforced through sensory feedbackof nature auditory and proprioceptive.

These feedbacks come from listening to one's own voice, as well as from sensations linked to the movements and positions of the muscles and articulators mentioned above.

Listening to native speakers or "correct" pronunciation models also enables you to adjust your own production according to the perceived discrepancy with the way you pronounce.

 Theoretical explanations  can also help progress.

 

As for the competence of transcribing these sounds into letters or groups of letters, this is a matter of orthographic competence.

This skill is developed through the acquisition of explicit knowledgelike the fact that the sound [k] can be written with the letters c (cocu), k (kangourou), qu (qualité), cq (acquérir) or ch (choreographie).

Being able to clearly identify which sound to pronounce is therefore the first step to being able to write it well.
