SCIENTIFIC MEDIATION The Dynamique Du Langage research unit has been involved for several years to share its knowledge and share it with the general public.
This moment of sharing and transmission is made via participation in scientific events, recurrent scientific mediation actions such as the science festival, the Pop'Science festival, the day of the DYS, the week of the brain ... and well others.
Come and discover the activities we offer.
SCIENTIFIC MEDIATION WORKSHOPS
Since 2013, we've been developing a range of scientific mediation workshops around the research unit's research themes. We offer three activities per workshop, but each activity can be offered independently. These workshops have been developed with the general public in mind, so they are suitable for both children and adults (click on the images for a description in French of the workshops):

The Sounds of Speech: Between Physical Reality and Perception (UTA 2026)
|
|
|
Presentation offered by Christophe dos SANTOS on April 1, 2026: For most people, an alphabet is generally considered to be a set of symbols used to represent the sounds of speech in writing. In reality, in the vast majority of cases, an alphabet represents only the phonemes of a language. What, then, is the connection between speech sounds and phonemes? Can this knowledge help predict the pronunciation difficulties that learners of a second modern language (LV2) might encounter? Can the spelling of this LV2 have a more or less positive influence on its acquisition?
