Giving Voice to Written Words

The article aims to present the role of reading aloud in a foreign language class. Why is this ability to read important in student learning? What is its place and function in learning? How? ‘or’ What to do so that reading aloud can serve expression not only oral but also written? We assume that learning foreign languages is very useful for those who need to acquire basic communication skills in a short period of time. Nevertheless, it must also be appropriate for those who learn the foreign language with a professional purpose, and who will have to communicate correctly and to pronounce well in specialized contexts. We consider reading aloudto bea good technique for memorizing certain information over the long term. In addition, it opens up a cultural, social and emotional dimension of the language. Unfortunately, this activity has been wrongly overlooked. Therefore, in the first section of the paper, we will try to rehabilitate the reading aloud activity in the foreign language class. The next section discusses the implications and benefits of reading aloud for advanced students. The final section presents activities and objectives of reading aloud, as well as certain strategies used to facilitate the initiation of spontaneous speech and communication.
