Ebook: La didactique à l'oeuvre : Perspectives théoriques et pratiques

Language didactics are currently in a state of self-examination and flux. Recent years have brought important developments, notably with regards to the communicative method and self-teaching. Discussions of didactics are becoming more and more probing and self-questioning. In the first part of this volume, the reader will find highly stimulating discussions about different pedagogical approaches. The selection of texts in the second part suggests new pedagogical ideas which will also benefit instructors. The third part illustrates the complexity of the problem of borrowing from English. Finally, beyond the question of the value of methods, manuals, and pedagogical practices, this volume tackles the essential issue of group dynamics.
