The aim of her work is to present teachers of French with a variety of techniques that will enable them not only to correct their students’ pronunciation, but also help these students understand how French sounds are produced so that they can attain self-correction. These techniques are of great benefit to all students of French, whether enrolled in FSL, French Immersion, or Programme cadre.
