This research focuses on phonetic correction in French as a foreign language course for learners who do not have French as their second language. It is clear that everyone, from childhood, begins to acquire his mother tongue through the effects of phonation. This means that on arriving at school the learner has already acquired a certain competence in the sounds or the pronunciation of the sounds of their language through the establishment of psycholinguistic mechanisms of acquisition following a development over time, which supposes stages and rhythms of acquisition. If the learner has pronunciation skills from his mother tongue, it is no secret that this already acquired language and other psycholinguistic, physiological, physical phenomena interfere with the perception and pronunciation of the sounds of the new language to learn. From this observation emerges the problem of the appropriate measures to be taken to effectively teach phonetics or phonetic correction to learners. Thus, the objective of this article is to give the different parameters necessary for the teaching of phonetics and the execution of phonetic correction. To properly conduct this research, we were inspired by the theory of functional structuralists and more specifically the functional theory of Martinet (1991). In this theory, it is identified that language is an instrument of doubly articulated communication and vocal manifestation whose phonetic and phonological aspects study sounds, phonemes, intonation, tones and the place of stress. These elements cited have the advantage in phonetic correction, of showing the original way in which each language uses the resources of phonation to ensure communication between its users. As results of the research, we were able to develop different methodologies applicable for the success of the phonetic correction in a course of FLE.
