When a song becomes an unusual french grammar test

Abstract

This work has a set of tasks united by the topic “A grammar test”. The purpose of these tasks is to do a French grammar test by students at the B2 level, who have to correct different errors in an authentic text. The context and the tasks for checking students’ orthographic and grammatical competences, as well as for practicing receptive and productive skills, are based on the lyrics of the song “C’est la faute à l’amour”. The lyrics contain typical spelling and grammar mistakes which are often made by French native speakers. The proposed set of tasks will allow students to test their orthographic and grammar skills and review a significant number of fundamental French rules.
