LE RÔLE DE L’ANGLAIS COMME PREMIÈRE LANGUE ÉTRANGÈRE DANS L’APPRENTISSAGE DE LA LANGUE FRANÇAISE

The present study aims to analyze the positive impact that English, as a first foreign language learnt by pupils in school, may have on the learning of French, studied as a second foreign language from 5th form onwards. The participants in this research were secondary school students, native speakers of Romanian, with our inquiry aiming to document the degree of their assumption of French vocabulary, their understanding of French grammar, students’ acquisition of correct French pronunciation and their comprehension of written French.
