Alain Ausoni is a researcher (MER 1) at the School of French as a Foreign Language within the Faculty of Arts at the University of Lausanne (UNIL), a position he has held since August 2018. His academic journey includes a Master's in Comparative Literature from the University of Kent and a doctorate from the University of Oxford as a Berrow Scholar. He previously studied at UNIL and holds a teaching diploma from HEP-VD. His research focuses on multilingualism in literature and the teaching of spoken French in FLE contexts. He is particularly known for his work on translingual writing—autobiographical practices by non-native French authors—and for developing pedagogical tools for oral comprehension. His recent book Mémoires d'outre-langue (2018) explores this theme in depth. He co-created the digital platform FLORALE (florale.unil.ch) with Christian Surcouf, a corpus-based resource for teaching spoken French, supported by the Educational Innovation Fund. The trends in his scholarly publications reveal a sustained engagement with translingual autobiography, oral language variation in French, and innovative FLE pedagogy. His works analyze how learners comprehend spontaneous spoken French and how literary authors navigate identity across languages. He has also contributed to the historical understanding of oral corpus use in language teaching. Alain Ausoni was supported by an SNSF mobility grant during his postdoctoral fellowship at the École normale supérieure de Paris, completed in January 2019. He has not received any explicitly mentioned scientific awards in the provided texts. He has not listed any students or advising roles. He is involved in digital educational innovation through the FLORALE project, which represents a significant contribution to applied linguistics and language teaching methodology.
