Les langues d’origine dans la classe de langue étrangère – L’apport des Approches plurielles des langues et des cultures et de leurs référentiels
Résumé
Pluralistic approaches to languages and cultures and the related competence frameworks have much to offer when it comes to incorporating the use of learners’ heritage languages in language learning. However, some vigilance is required because among these approaches it is Awakening to languages – which does not aim to teach a target language – that has systematically taken heritage languages into account, while Integrated didactic approaches to languages – which aim at language learning – have only recently begun to do so. The FREPA, a reference framework for learner competences, helps to ensure this vigilance and specifies the benefits expected from taking heritage languages into account. The Reference framework of teacher competences for pluralistic approaches provides strong support for teacher training.
