Abstract

This article examines the effectiveness of virelangue as a strategy to overcome phonetic interference in beginners who have never studied French. This case study qualitative research used pre-test and post-test strategies to see the development of pronunciation from each trial, then analyzed the tests results using the theories of phonetics and phonology by Léon (1993) and Chaer (2009), the analysis of language errors by Tarigan & Tarigan (2011), and the theory of interference by Weinreich (2011). The results indicate that there is interference called phonetic treatment of borrowed words. The most difficult sounds to pronounce are [ɛ̃] and [Ê’]. Due to the limited knowledge of the research subjects, there is also hypercorrection. During these trials, there is a development of pronunciation that improved the research subjects accomplishment from average to outstanding. Asian language studies students, learning more difficult sounds, were the only group pronouncing the virelangue correctly in the last trial. Keywords: virelangue, reading aloud, phonetics, interference, pronunciation

Abstract

The Indonesian language is becoming increasingly important globally, creating a growing demand for its instruction, including in France. However, learners often face difficulties due to interference between their mother tongue and the Indonesian language they are learning. While some papers offered solutions to overcome these difficulties, these have tended to concentrate on the linguistic aspects and have overlooked the extralinguistic aspects. This paper seeks to address the issue by examining the extralinguistic aspects found in recordings of 10 Indonesian sentences containing phonemes expected to trigger pronunciation errors and spoken by three Malay-Indonesian studies students from different academic years at the Institut National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales (INALCO), from three different college levels. The data was collected through three separate interviews, including the recording of the aforementioned sentences and a discussion about the subjects’ linguistic background. The result was then examined to highlight the extralinguistic and linguistic factors affecting the production of interference. Afterwards, this paper then offers pedagogical suggestions. The study mainly uses phonemic interference and language learning theory, as well as theories related to the psychological and socio-cultural aspects of language learning. This research found that motivation and learning strategy are the two most important variables in the psychological aspect, while input and feedback are the most important aspects in the socio-cultural aspect. Nevertheless, the most decisive factor in Indonesian mastery is the duration of learning.
