L’impact du bain linguistique dans l’acquisition fonctionnelle des prépositions en Français : Cas des élèves de FORM II du Collège bilingue Jeanne Alegue Messi de Mvolyé à Yaoundé et du All Saints College of Bayelle à Bamenda.

Abstract

The goal of this work is to demonstrate the impact of language immersion of French language by students / learners attending the Anglo-Saxon system in Cameroon. The study grounded on the hypothesis of the primacy of the social context on the reinforcement of language skills targets the use of a key grammar category, namely prepositions. The population of about 60 informants has been carefully selected from two confessional bilingual schools (COBIJAM) in Yaoundé and (ASCOBA) in Bamenda. They have been submitted to a rigorous interviews protocol coupled with a set of French writing tests. The crossed results arrived at the assumption that students living in Yaoundé perform better than those residing in Bamenda thus confirming the main hypothesis of the present study.
