Résumé

Second Language Acquisition (SLA) is standing at a crossroads today notably because of the impact of neuroscience in school. Can cognitive neuroscience and exploring brain activity really facilitate the acquisition of English with young learners? In this presentation the focus will be on developing attention, the different types of memory, the fundamental role of emotions, brain plasticity and multi-modal learning strategies connecting theory and practice in the field. In order to do so, some activities in singing and role playing with traditional tales will be displayed. Introduction Personal presentation. I have worked with teacher students supposed to teach English at primary school level for more than fifteen years now. My sphere of research gravitates toward phonological accommodation, in other words how to facilitate the transfer from a syllable-timed language like French to a stress-timed language like English, notably at primary school level.
