12. Réflexion épistémologique en didactique du français langue étrangère sur la place de la grammaire de l’oralité?

Abstract

This chapter aims to highlight that learners of the French as a foreign language need to understand the characteristic patterns of oral grammar in order to be autonomous in their communication. I identify the main trends in the way spoken discourse (lexical and syntactic) is organized, which differs from the explanations of traditional morphological grammars. These orientations, in the service of teacher reflexivity, help to move away from representations based on the ideological paradigm of several centuries of history that must first be understood. The insights from oral linguistics studies and authentic resources underpin our discussion.
