L’éducation plurilingue et interculturelle au regard des conceptions morales des enseignants de langue-culture en contexte multiculturel

Abstract

Based on the observation that the plurilingual and intercultural education promoted by the Council of Europe represents a maximalist conception of morality, this paper aims to explore the moral conceptions of teachers of language and culture in a multicultural context. The survey analysis shows that the respondents mobilize a rather minimalist conception of morality. Based on this result, we call for the contextual limitations of plurilingual and intercultural education to be taken into consideration.
