Intérêt pédagogique des documents authentiques dans l’enseignement-apprentissage du français au Burundi

Abstract

This study is conducted with the aim of showing the interest of authentic documents in the teaching of French in Burundi. Il starts from a problem according to which the level of the pupils drops more and more. The starting hypothesis is that authentic documents, which are an essential tool in the teaching of a foreign language, would not be used enough by teachers and that this would be one of the causes of the low level of students in French. Through a survey of teachers, this work was able to show the opinions of each other as well as their wishes and suggestions. It has been noticed that most teachers use only the book as a teaching document, which means that some skills are not developed. This state of affairs depends on the one hand on the teachers who do not make a lot of effort to complete the already existing book, but on the other hand, the situation depends on other factors including the lack of training in the use of these tools as well as technical and maintenance problems including the lack of electricity in the classrooms.
