Enseigner la grammaire française en classe de FLE : Quelles méthodes faut-il adopter ?

Abstract

Grammar is considered as a very important skill for teaching /learning of any foreign language. Its acquisition allows the learner to become familiar with the functions of the language and to develop their language skills. This research consists of four parts. The first part analyzes the term grammar and its signification. The second part gives an overview of the place of grammar in different methodological approaches. The third part contains a questionnaire intended for Jordanian learners. This questionnaire aims to collect the opinions of our students concerning the teaching/learning of French grammar. Finally, in the fourth part, we observe the means and the methods that could facilitate the acquisition of French grammar by an Arabic speaking public of Jordan. This research and our questionnaire aim to answer some questions such as: What status/rank does French grammar occupy in a class of French as a foreign language? According to our students, what methods should be adopted to teach French grammar in the class? Why do Jordanian students encounter problems in acquiring French grammar? What are the possible didactic proposals that can help us improve the teaching/learning of grammar in a class of French as a foreign language?
