« À vos livres, prêts, partez … lisez ! »
« Lire à voix haute c’est faire cette rencontre amoureuse avec la langue française » – Emmanuel Macron, juin 2021
Concours de lecture à haute voix. À partir des extraits de romans francophones l’élève réalisera un clip de 30 secondes où il lira à haute voix le texte choisi.
Inspiré par les paroles d’Emmanuel Macron en juin 2021 évoquant « cette grande cause nationale qu’est la lecture » le concours francophone 2021 de la FTA Irlande visera la lecture à haute voix. À partir d’extraits d’œuvres littéraires francophones, les élèves travailleront la prononciation, l’intonation et le rythme en cours et chez eux afin de réaliser un clip de 30 secondes.
How to enter
Note that the passages are categorised into Extraits Senior and Extraits Junior.
Select one, or several, passages to work with in your class. The emphasis is on pronunciation, intonation, and rhythm. A range of YouTube videos/channels may help you work with your students on pronunciation, intonation and rhythm, for example this, this, this, this and this.
Each participating student will record and upload to YouTube a short video of himself/herself reading his/her chosen passage. The ‘visual’ aspect of the video can be an image of the passage, the book, the student, a photo, a drawing etc. The judging criteria will only consider the reading of the passage.
