Most of them could not read the passages well.  English transference reflected in candidates’ pronunciation of French words.  For instance, words like “transport, village, joyeuse, intéressant, circulation” Many candidates could not get the liaison in “quand on” etc.
                       

Some of the candidates could not differentiate between “nom” and “prénom” in Dialogue.

      SUGGESTED REMEDIES

Teachers of French should endeavor to practice all aspects of the Oral French with the students before the examination.

Teachers should teach the students the correct pronunciation with more emphasis on liaison where necessary.

Students should be encouraged to have a lot of practice in written composition. They should also be encouraged to converse more in French within and outside the classroom.

They should also encourage the students to read simple French stories, magazines and journals so as to acquire more vocabulary.
