Publication at Faculty of Education, Faculty of Arts |
2023

Abstract

Short texts in easy French, the importance of illustrations, contemporary subjects adapted to a young audience, literary and playful work on language... children's literature, which has been hugely successful in recent years, can be a fantastic tool for teachers of French as a foreign language to work on different communicative skills.

(particularly for group projects over one or more sessions), including for lower levels. We take a look at this rich body of work, explore ways of using it and discuss how it can be used.
