Les enregistrements de classes ordinaires comme support d'enseignement du français langue de scolarisation

Abstract

Pupils who have just arrived in France have to learn French in order to facilitate their integration into ordinary classes. A possible training technique involves using video recordings of other standard courses during the language classes. Using real oral discourse raises several issues which must be solved: the decontextualised use of these segments, adapting them to the pupils' language level, and integrating them into the syllabus. Second language training for immigrant pupils as presented here requires a careful analysis of the linguistic and discursive structure of classroom interaction, a choice of self-contained passages and their processing for a definite pedagogical purpose, and finally the construction of specific activities that prepare the pupils for what is shown in the recordings.
