LANSAD WEEK TWO
Using English in France
Reading, listening and vocabulary
The first theme we have been looking at has been stereotypes. But there are other questions which affect relations between the English and the French.
Do you think that too much English is used in France ?
- Do you say “email” or “courriel”?
- Do you say “baladeur” or “walkman”?
Can you think of other examples of English words which some French people try to avoid.?
What is your opinion ?
Look at this article about the use of English, listen to it a couple of times. Then look at the “read more” section. This piece is of course, again, from the BBC.
Read another article about the domination of English in today’s world.
