Les Centres de Ressources de Langues (CRL) de l’Université de Strasbourg constituent le terrain d’étude de la recherche. Ce dispositif vise le développement de l’autonomie d’apprentissage des étudiant.e.s, au même titre que celui de leurs compétences linguistiques. La présente recherche interroge la place et le rôle qu’y ont les enseignant.e.s en termes de soutien au développement de l’autonomie d’apprentissage. Pour ce faire, les postures de douze enseignant.e.s ont été approchées dans leurs deux expressions : leur posture déclarée (ce que les enseignant.e.s disent de l’autonomie d’apprentissage) a été recueillie au moyen du questionnaire développé par Borg et Al-Busaidi (2012a) ; leur posture incarnée a été appréhendée par des entretiens d’explicitation de l’action en re-situ subjectif. Un codage ouvert (Strauss et Corbin 2004), effectué selon une méthode inter-juges négociée (Garrison et al. 2006), a permis une analyse catégorielle relevant de la théorie ancrée (grounded theory). Les données ainsi collectées ont été traitées qualitativement, aboutissant à la rédaction d’une monographie par enseignant.e ; l’ensemble des monographies a ensuite été synthétisé et confronté aux principes fondamentaux. / This study was carried out at the Language Resource Centres of the University of Strasbourg, which are set up to develop student autonomy in language learning as well as linguistic competence. It examines, in this context, the place and role of teachers in terms of fostering student learning autonomy. In order to do this, twelve teachers were involved in reflecting upon their own beliefs and practice. Their beliefs – in relation to what they think, know and believe about learning autonomy – were gathered by means of a questionnaire developed by Borg and Al-Busaidi (2012a). Their practice – how they interact with students - was examined through interviews in which the teachers gave their own descriptions and explanations whilst reviewing their recorded teaching/learning session. An open coding (Strauss and Corbin, 2004), based on inter-rater agreement (Garrison et al., 2006), has enabled a category-based analysis related to grounded theory. The data thus collected have been analyzed qualitatively, resulting in the production of individual teacher monographs. These have then been related to the principles underlying language learner autonomy.

This dissertation titled Teaching English to Deaf and Hard-of-hearing University Students aims to portray a picture of the situation of teaching English to university students, more specifically of those studying at Charles University in Prague. The work is divided into two main parts. The first part brings general insight, also from linguistic perspective, into language competences and language acquisition by the hearing impaired. It describes variables and possible variables affecting spoken language acquisition by this minority. It gives basic overview of different levels of hearing loss on the grouds of medicine assessment of hearing loss. The dissertiation stresses out the neccessity of educating these students with respect to linguistic research and findings. Moreover, it emphasizes the needs to interweave linguistics and pedagogy and benefits of linguistics research and methods such as error analysis and contrastive analysis for enhancement of language productive skills of hearing impaired students. The second part of the dissertation is devoted to the research of English language teaching to hearing impaired students at Charles University in Prague. The work summarizes the findings of five-year long research carried out at the Language Resource Centre, Faculty of Arts, Charles University in...
