ROMANCE CROSS-COMPREHENSION AND LANGUAGE TEACHING: a new trend towards linguistic integration of Europe. The Galanet project solution 1

Résumé

Since the nineties, a number of European teams explore the cross-comprehension modality for the teaching of Romance languages, giving a priority to the comprehension competence, based on the proximity of the different languages of the Romance family. This contribution aims to present and explain the Galanet project (European programme Socrates, www.galanet.eu), launched in 2001. It gathers seven teams with the aim of providing speakers of Portuguese, Italian, Spanish and French with a learning internet platform that allows practising cross-comprehension. First outcomes of the use of the platform in a session test, called "protosession", will be considered. As international communication is increasingly intense and complex, and as Europe tends to adopt English as a common tool for linguistic exchanges, it is crucial to promote other means of linguistic integration, in particular through cross-comprehension in various families of languages. Cross-comprehension constitutes a fairly recent modality for the teaching of the languages in a given linguistic family, with a priority given to the comprehension competence, based on the proximity of the different languages of the Romance family. The principle of the approach is the use, between the speakers of these languages, of a multilingual communication mode where everyone can express him/herself in his/her own reference language (either as their mother tongue or as an advanced second language), and understand the others. Some European projects have been led in the last ten years on this approach. Since the nineties, in the framework of the European programmes Socrates, a number of European teams explore the cross-comprehension modality for the teaching of Romance languages (Eurom4, EuroComRom 2 , Galatea) 3 or others indo-european family languages as Germanic or Slavonic (IGLO project 4 , EuroComGer and EuroComSla) giving a priority to the comprehension competence (known as a "dissociated approach", Degache and Masperi, 1995), based on the proximity of the different languages of the Romance family (see Kischel 2002 and in particular Klein 2002). This contribution aims to present and explain the Galanet project (Socrates Lingua 2) and to pose some questions about this new approach. 1 Acknowledgment to James Nhlane for his help in correcting this paper. 2 For further information see
