Résumé
Our French-English tandem interaction corpus offers a new perspective on how L2 learners receive and use corrective feedback (CF) – especially pronunciation feedback – and also on how native speaking tandem participants, who are not professional language teachers, might serve as efficient CF providers. We video-recorded 21 French-English tandem pairs, each consisting of a native French and a native English student. The tandems were recorded in two sessions, separated by 3 months, each time performing collaborative reading and semi-spontaneous tasks (story-telling and debating) in both languages. We have previously reported on the CF provided by the native English participants, where, pronunciation-wise, the NSs predominantly recast segmental errors (66%), vowels being the prime target. In the present paper we proceed to a comparative study of the participants’ corrective behaviour by examining the French portion of the data.
