Since its inception in Canada in 1998 as a method for teaching French as a second language in a school setting, the Neurolinguistic Approach to second-language acquisition (NLA) has expanded to several countries and is now also applied to teaching adults. Based on research in the neurosciences, psychology, and sociology, the NLA focuses on providing learners with the conditions necessary to acquire spontaneous communication skills in a classroom setting. By ensuring the independent development of effective communication and implicit competence in the second language, the NLA allows learners to genuinely express themselves in their new language. In this volume, co-developer of the approach Claude Germain outlines the history of the NLA’s development and provides insights into its principles, its teaching and acquisition strategies applied in the classroom, and the results it has achieved. This is an essential book for all second-language teachers, as well as researchers interested in the transmission of second languages.

Que doit-on évaluer ? Pourquoi ? Comment ? Quand ? Des questions, auxquelles cet ouvrage répond dans le cadre d'un enseignement de la langue selon une approche communicative. Il met l'accent sur la valeur pédagogique de l'évaluation : - en soulignant son rôle déterminant pour une progression efficace des apprentissages en langue étrangère ou seconde ; - en présentant, avec clarté et concision, les notions et les principes de base qui sous-tendent les travaux des spécialistes de la docimologie ; - en fournissant des exemples concrets de situations et d'activités communicatives, pour évaluer la compréhension comme la production, à l'oral et à l'écrit ; - en donnant, à l'enseignant, les moyens d'imaginer et de mettre en œuvre de nouvelles pratiques : en particulier, un scénario d'évaluation, qui permet de « tout » évaluer lors d'un examen de type communicatif.
