TEACHING FRENCH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE
TO CHILDREN AGES 6-10
The acquisition of a foreign language for a child does not meet a need : it is rather its parents’ choice. For the teachers, what is at stake is their ability to motivate the learner and give a meaning to her/his acquisition of knowledge. The questions are : why, and what for, teaching a foreign language to children? how shall we organize its acquisition and with which teaching aid?
