Contexte et conditions pour une réelle production d'écrits en ALAO

Abstract

This paper assumes the possibility of implementing a computer assisted writing pedagogy based on the writer's activity instead of just presenting knowledge about texts. The writer engages in different writing activities, for instance with Gammes d'écriture, the software used in the experiment presented in this paper. These activities are easier than the production of a whole text and they aim both at training writing and at making conscious of certain textual features. The experiment presented in this paper was conducted with twenty students of French as a foreign language and lasted for one semester. The theoretical background is cognitive psychology, text linguistics and CALL.
