Class #2 – prepare for your oral report
1. Oral comprehension and note-taking methods
Votre CC3 se compose de deux parties : 1. visionnage et préparation (10 minutes) 2. compte-
rendu oral. La moitié de la note est pour la compréhension orale (10 points) et l’autre pour la
qualité de votre anglais oral. Le barème détaillé vous est donné à l’avance en cours et sera
disponible sur Célène.
Partie 1. Préparation, seul(e) - Visionnage et brouillon (10 minutes de prep)
Vous regardez la vidéo fournie, vous prenez des notes que vous organisez de façon logique ou
chronologique (vous choisissez) en préparant le plan de votre oral. Vous devez relever 10
points importants de la vidéo (un point par item). Dire que c’est une vidéo, donner le titre,
donner le sujet global et autres généralités, ne sont pas considérés comme items importants. 10
6
items importants, ce sont 10 informations précises, 10 éléments-clefs nécessaires au bon
compte-rendu de votre vidéo. (Vous verrez en exemple un cours)
Partie 2. Compte-rendu oral de cette vidéo (3 minutes, expression orale)
A l’issue de ce temps de préparation, vous reportez oralement au professeur vos notes
organisées. Vous devez y inclure les éléments que vous avez compris (avec les 10 items
importants) et y soigner votre anglais oral. Vous ne lirez PAS et vous ne répéterez pas les
phrases de la vidéo car vous devez reformuler. Dans votre brouillon, vous aurez simplement
relié vos notes, vous n’aurez pas rédigé de phrases complètes faute de temps donc, à l’oral,
vous utilisez vos propres mots. Répéter les phrases de la vidéo ne vous apportera aucun point.
Entraînement : Modèle de brouillon pour une compréhension orale (exemple).
Step 1 (before watching): Anticipation ➔ what words are you likely to hear?
Step 2 (while watching): Note taking
• 1ère écoute : se concentrer sur un point-clef ou deux et prendre des notes dans l’ordre
• 2ème écoute : se concentrer sur un 2ème point, ajuster les notes et en ajouter dans l’ordre.
• 3ème écoute : vérifier ses notes, les relier (flèches, numéros, fluo) pour organiser son
plan, s’assurer d’avoir 10 éléments-clefs à restituer
1ère écoute 2ème écoute Extra notes
7
• Step 3. Your oral report. Maintenant que vous avez pris et organisé vos notes, votre
plan est prêt. Vous l’aurez organisé de façon chronologique ou logique (arguments pour /
contre, thèse / antithèse…). Vous pouvez maintenant parler à votre enseignante pendant
3 minutes. Puisque vous n’aurez pas rédigé vos phrases, vous formulerez vos phrases
spontanément en vous appuyant sur les mots du brouillon.
• Astuce : n’oubliez pas les mots et phrases d‘introduction et de liaison. Vous pouvez les
écrire sur votre brouillon. En effet, vous ne devez pas faire une liste mais un compte-
rendu structuré. Ne rédigez surtout pas vos phrases complètes dans votre brouillon car
vous n’en aurez pas le temps et ce n’est pas ce qui est attendu d’une synthèse.

• Remember not to use informal language like contractions in a formal letter (He’s ➔ He is
or He has - I’m ➔ I am - It’s ➔ It is)
• Put forward all the elements (personal experience, jobs, courses you have followed…)
that will show that you are suitable if not the best applicant for the position.
