Le français en Asie centrale

Ouzbékistan
Statistiques

Nombre d’apprenants de français : 430 000

Nombre de professeurs de français : 3 500
Situation du français

Pendant la période soviétique, l’Ouzbékistan a été le réservoir de francophones de haut niveau pour les besoins de la coopération entre l’URSS et l’Afrique. Le nombre élevé d’apprenants de français (le plus important dans la zone ex-soviétique après la Russie) en est un héritage direct. Toutefois, la nouvelle réforme du système éducatif ouzbek risque de mettre à mal cet héritage en créant de nouveaux lycées où l’enseignement de l’anglais est généralisé.
Actions en faveurs du français

L’action du service culturel est tournée vers la formation des enseignants de français (1300 professeurs en 3 ans), le renouvellement des programmes dans le secondaire et des manuels de français dans le supérieur, animation du réseau des 5 écoles à français renforcé du pays.

Des cours de français sont dispensés au Centre culturel français Victore Hugo de Tachkent et dans sa filiale à Samarcande : www.ambafrance-uz.org/

Kazakhstan

Statistiques

Nombre d’apprenants de français : 224 000

Nombre de professeurs de français : 1 700

Situation du français

Le français est à ce jour la langue étrangère la plus étudiée au Kazakhstan après les trois langues obligatoires (kazakh, russe, anglais). Le nombre de professeur tend à diminuer faute de vocations pour cette profession, les salaires étant très faibles. Le souci récent des autorités éducatives kazakhstanaises de moderniser leur système éducatif en le rapprochant des standards européens devrait ouvrir la voie à la réflexion sur la place de l’enseignement des langues et par extension de celui du français (l’enseignement d’une seconde langue vivante qui profiterait au français n’est à ce jour pas obligatoire).
Actions en faveurs du français

Le service culturel met en place depuis 2004 un réseau d’alliances françaises (d’abord à Astana et Almaty) qui vient compléter le dispositif des salles de lecture. Dans l’enseignement secondaire, le poste conduit un programme de formation continue, à raison de deux séminaires par an, en liaison avec les associations de professeurs de français. Dans l’enseignement supérieur, une coopération est menée avec la faculté de français de l’Universités des relations internationales et des langues du monde (URILM) d’Almaty, notamment pour la création d’un haut conseil des thèses en coopération avec l’Université de Toulouse le Mirail afin de permettre aux enseignants chercheurs de soutenir des doctorats d’Etat et de pouvoir ainsi intégrer les facultés de français des universités kazakhs.

Kirghizstan

Statistiques

Nombre d’apprenants de français : 15 500

Nombre de professeurs de français : 130

Situation du français

La langue française parvient à se maintenir en terme du nombre d’apprenants bien que le russe soit encore une langue obligatoire et que l’anglais gagne du terrain sur les autres langues dans tous les établissements scolaires du Kirghizstan.
Actions en faveurs du français

Les actions du service culturel se concentrent sur un soutien aux pôles d’excellence pour l’enseignement du français notamment en accompagnant le développement de l’école bilingue 26 de Bichkek. Il organise également des séminaires formation continue pour les enseignants de français ainsi que des dotation en manuels. Le français de spécialité est développé dans les facultés d’économie, informatique, gestion, tourisme de l’Université d’Etat de Bichkek où le niveau de français est le plus élevé dans l’enseignement supérieur kirghiz.

The French in Central Asia
Uzbekistan
Statistics

Number of learners of French: 430 000

Number of French Teachers: 3 500
Location of French

During the Soviet period, Uzbekistan was the reservoir of high-level French for the purposes of cooperation between the USSR and Africa. The high number of learners of French (the largest in the area after ex-Soviet Russia) is directly inherited. However, the new educational reform Uzbek likely to undermine this legacy by creating new high schools where the teaching of English is widespread.
Shares in favor of French.

The service action is culturally oriented training of French teachers (1,300 teachers in 3 years), renewal programs in secondary and manuals in French higher education, promoting the network of 5 schools in the country strengthened French .

French classes are taught in French Cultural Center Victor Hugo Tashkent and Samarkand its subsidiary: www.ambafrance-uz.org/

Kazakhstan

Statistics

Number of learners of French: 224 000

Number of Teachers of French: 1 700

Location of French

French is so far the foreign language most studied in Kazakhstan after the three compulsory languages (Kazakh, Russian, English). The number of teacher tends to decrease due to lack of vocations for the profession, salaries are very low. The recent concern of Kazakh education authorities to modernize their education system by bringing it closer to European standards should pave the way for reflection on the place of language teaching and by extension that of French (learning a second language living that would benefit the French is to date not required).
Shares in favor of French

The Cultural Department is implementing since 2004 a French network of alliances (primarily in Astana and Almaty), which supplements the reading rooms. In secondary education, the office conducted a program of continuing education at two seminars per year in conjunction with associations of French teachers. In higher education, cooperation is conducted with the French faculty of the University of International Relations and World Languages (URILM) Almaty, including the creation of a High Council of theses in cooperation with the University of Toulouse le Mirail to enable teachers to support research doctorates state and thus to integrate the French faculties of universities in Kazakhstan.

Kyrgyzstan

Location of French

The French language is able to maintain itself in terms of the number of learners although Russian is still a compulsory language and that English is gaining ground on other languages in all schools of Kyrgyzstan.

What about Spanish? Where is Spanish in this Region because I thought Spanish is the second most taught language in the world ahead of French? In oblivion!

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
You're a common stupid   Tue Sep 29, 2009 1:22 pm GMT
Mr. Bwahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Perhaps you don't understand the new situation of the Globalization. I explain to you free:

It is not really important that French is studied or not in Uzbekistan. The World lingua franca is ENGLISH, and the regional lingua franca is RUSSIAN. If the third most studied foreign language of Uzbekistan is French, congratulations, but it doesn't matter.

If these data are true, and French is studied in Central Asia congratulations. Anyway, do you know how many people study Spanish only in Brazil and USA?

Considering both countries together, there are probably some 10 million that study Spanish in Brazil and USA, and these two countries are more important than Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, stupid.
You're a usual moron   Tue Sep 29, 2009 1:31 pm GMT
Mr. non-sense

If these data are true, and French is studied in Central Asia congratulations. Anyway, do you know how many people study Spanish only in Brazil and USA? It's still far behind the number of those who study French worldwide.

Considering both countries together, there are probably some 10 million that study Spanish in USA, and these two countries are just the country where Spanish is more widely important than French just like the speakers are all compressed in Hispanic America and Castilia, MORON.
Mr. Globalization   Tue Sep 29, 2009 1:44 pm GMT
The only Global language is English, mon moron ami.

After English, there are 5 languages that are spoken in a BIG are, as mother tongue by at least 200 million people, and they are the regional lingua franca studied by all people as first or second language: Chinese, Spanish, Russian, Arabic and Hindi.

Even French is not in this second group of languages.

Sorry, but French has a lot of problems: it is spoken by hardly 75 million people as mother tongue, it is spoken by tiny minorities but it is the first language NOWHERE.

Sorry, but Spanish has a lot of problems: it is spoken by hardly 20 million people as secondary tongue, it is spoken by tiny minorities but it is the first language in just 2 areas CASTILIA and ANTIOQUIA, COLOMBIA.

You don't think really that French has the same international status than English, so why lying?.

"You don't think really that French has the same international status than English, so why lying?"

English is the big global language, French is a much less important global language.

No other language can claim to be anything more than regional.
Spanish and Chinese are only regional.
Mr. Globalization   Tue Sep 29, 2009 9:25 pm GMT
<<French is a much less important global language.>>

stupid, that's the problem of French.

Why I want to study the second World language, if I can study the first one?
that's the problem of French in Vietnam, Laos, North Africa, Lebanon, Syria, Canada, Switzerland, Belgium, etc where People study English now, and not French. A lot of people only have time and memory to study ONE of them, and they study ENGLISH.

<<Spanish and Chinese are only regional.>>

Yes. That's the strengh of these languages, moron. If a company wants to export its products to South America or China, they will use Spanish or Chinese. Sometimes English, but NEVER French.

The same in Central Asia. A company will use Russian or English (the regional language or the only Global language), NEVER French. The same in other Continents

That's the problem of French: a wrong role, the second World language is a useless language in a Global World.
The Truth   Wed Sep 30, 2009 10:15 pm GMT
^ Mr. Globalizaton hit the nail on the head.

English is the only TRUE global language of our age. Maybe French was in the past, but even that time doesn't compare to the influence of English today.

Now, I think we can all agree that French is obviously important in parts of Europe and parts of Africa and Quebec, but that's mostly it. English is the FIRST foreign language studied and used in most countries...can't say the same for French. So realistically, French is more of a regional language rather than a global language.

I will admit I'm wrong the moment I go to a non English/French speaking country and see plentiful signs in French or strangers addressing me in French because they assume I speak it. It hasn't happened yet and I doubt it will.

Mr Mondialisation   Thu Oct 01, 2009 9:26 am GMT
<<Spanish and Chinese are only regional.>>

Idiot, that's the problem of Spanish.

Why I want to study the regional language, if I can study the 2 globallanguages? that's the problem of Spanish in Philippines, Guam, Marianas, Panama, Colombia, Mexico, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico etc where People study English now, and not Spanish. A lot of people only have time and memory to study ONE of them, and they study ENGLISH.
US USer   Thu Oct 01, 2009 9:20 pm GMT
By the first time you are right, moron.

In Panama, Colombia, Mexico, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, etc people study Englis now, and not Spanish because Spanish is yet the mother tongue, asshole.
Franco   Thu Oct 01, 2009 9:36 pm GMT
Very funny.
American User   Fri Oct 02, 2009 10:53 am GMT
For th nth time you are wrong again, imbecile.

In Panama, Colombia, Mexico, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, etc people study English now, and not Spanish because Spanish is no use and disintegrating, you rotting and stinking shit.
