THE INTEGRATION OF ICT (INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES) INTO THE TEACHING PRACTICES OF FLE (FRENCH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

Abstract

This article is devoted the integration of ICT (information and communication technologies) into the teaching practices of FLE (French as a foreign language) teachers. The role and use of technology as a teaching tool (TICE) of the French language is increasing as educators have understood its ability to create both an independent and collaborative learning environment in which students can learn French with great ease. The integration of information and communication technologies in education has led to dramatic changes in the paradigms and methods practiced in developed countries. Traditional methods of higher education have become less motivating. The term “ICT” encompasses all communication devices such as computers, mobile phones, radio, television and satellite systems. This is access to the internet. This requires the individual to develop new skills, and to develop a critical outlook towards technology, to make thoughtful use of it, efficient and effective. The mastery and the use of ICT by students in their learning activities, depend largely on that of their teachers. In FLE classes, new technologies make it possible to enrich teaching-learning and also to carry out authentic practices by adapting educational activities to their use. The teaching becomes even more complex. Information and communication technologies for teaching are then methods that aim to expand knowledge as well as the development of learning and teaching strategies that help build skills in the learner. Educational technologies aim to diversify objectives, methods, supports, projects and learning outcomes. They therefore guarantee more relevant learning thanks to the use of software which allows you to work on written production, written comprehension, pronunciation, oral comprehension, grammar, etc. respecting the skills of each learner.
