Full Description

It is through the study of poems, songs, scenes from theater, and more generally texts of the greatest French authors that this teaching encourages students to express themselves orally without neglecting pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation. Therein lies a supplementary method to learn to master that which gives a language its charm: its accent.

Original Language Description

C'est à travers la lecture de poésies, de chansons, de scènes de théâtre et de façon plus générale de textes des plus grands auteurs français que cet enseignement encourage les étudiants à s'exprimer oralement sans négliger la prononciation, le rythme, et l'intonation. N'est-ce pas là un moyen supplémentaire d'apprendre à maîtriser ce qui fait le charme d'une langue : son accent?
