Enseigner le Français langue étrangère niveau B1 : difficultés et stratégies

Abstract

The aim of foreign language teaching is to enable learners to use the language they have learned to communicate and interact in their lives. This is why teaching/learning no longer gives priority to structure but rather to communication and interaction. It is by communicating that they learn the structure. The foreign language class is a place where learners use the language learned. Therefore, it is necessary for the teacher to create interesting activities that can encourage learners to use the language to communicate. Teaching French as a foreign language from the first semester to the seventh semester in the French Department, Universitas Negeri Jakarta, we use the Alterego+ manual. It replaced Alterego that we had used for over 5 years. After having studied it for 7 semesters, we hope that students can present themselves at DELF B2. As it provides language course level B1, it only want to talk about thepractice class with Alterego+ 3 that has been done for 2 semesters. Alterego+ 3 is published by Hachette, Français Langue Etrangère and targets learners who have acquired the level A2. It aims to acquire skills described in level B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CECRL), within a 150-hour course of teaching/learning activities. This allows learners to present themselves at DELF level B1. However in our department the B1 language courses are only lasted about 106 hours. How can one teach the limited duration B1 level?
