| Popis: | This study examined seven Louisiana kindergarten immersion teachers' practices to evaluate students' oral target language production and compare the oral production elicited when different instructional practices were used over a single semester. Three rounds of three 20-minute observations in three different contexts – circle time, direct instruction, and centre time – were conducted in seven kindergarten teachers' classrooms at the beginning, middle, and end of the semester. Using the Association canadienne des professeurs d'immersion (ACPI) accepted language proficiency levels, the researchers focused on students' global capacity to communicate. Findings suggest that teacher practices influenced student oral language production and help identify specific, practical suggestions for improving language immersion teaching practices and immersion teacher training. Cette recherche etudie les pratiques de sept enseignants louisianais de programmes d'immersion a la maternelle afin d'analyser la production orale en langue cible de leurs eleves et comparer, au cours d'un seul semestre, les productions orales requises par differentes strategies d'instruction. Trois series de trois observations de vingt minutes en trois contextes differents – rituels, instruction frontale et ateliers – eurent lieu au debut, au milieu et a la fin du semestre. A l'aide de l'echelle de niveau de langue adoptee par l'Association canadienne des professionnels de l'immersion (ACPI), les chercheurs se sont concentres sur la capacite de communication generale des eleves. Les resultats suggerent que les differentes strategies des enseignants influencent la production orale de leurs eleves et offrent des suggestions pratiques et specifiques pour ameliorer les methodes d'instruction en immersion et la formation des enseignants. |
