Abstract

This paper describes the use of a pitch visualization software in a Pronunciation course in French as a Second Language. After outlining the software's characteristics, we'll explain the methodological and pedagogical framework of the experiment. We'll then point out the most important data and results and elaborate on their significance. We will conclude by using these elements to set the framework of a future study aiming not only at describing but also at predicting the impact of such a software program on student performance regarding the acquisition of pitch in French as a Second Language.
