Muntlig språkfärdighet i franska : En observation av muntlig interaktion mellan lärare och elever i klassrummet

Sammanfattning: This thesis focuses on oral proficiency in French by learners of French at a Swedish high school. The purpose of this work was to try to find out to what extent and in what situations the learners speak in the target language at the time of the teaching. The study was conducted through both a qualitative and a quantitative study. The qualitative study was carried out by observing oral interaction between teacher and students. The quantitative study was conducted through various questions that the students had to answer in a questionnaire. The results from the observation show that the students speak in the target language (French) when the teacher predominantly uses French at the time of teaching. The results also show that when the teacher interacts and puts questions to the students in the target language, the students also respond to the target language. Another thing that the result shows is that the teacher comes with constant encouragement to the students, which motivates the students to talk in the target language.
