La compétence de communication orale à l’école primaire marocaine entre exigence et réalité

Abstract

This research makes a return on the notion of the competence of the oral communication on the basis of a theoretical reference which draws on the sciences of language to unveil the difficulties tarnishing its teaching - learning at the Moroccan primary school. It aims to lead a reflection on the didactical approach of the oral to emphasize its shortcomings to endow the learners with discursive capacities nevertheless perceived as essential in any didactic project envisaging the acquisition of the competence of oral communication. We postulate that to explain the limits of the didactical approach of oral currently installed in the Moroccan primary school, it is interesting to stop on the acceptance that one gives to the notion of competence of communication. Our reflection, which was carried out through an examination of the different moments of implementation of this approach, shows a tendency to reduce the didactic intervention at the level of the sentence unit without taking into account the discourse as object of teaching-learning. Consequently, the discursive dimension does not constitute an issue of the so-called approach that seems to focus only on linguistic and socio-cultural capacities.
