Representations of teachers and metalinguistic competences transfers between « awakening to languages » and french grammar : from impact to synergy ?

Abstract

Since early 2000, many researches were dedicated to the influence of « awakening to languages » for language acquisition. On the basis of these works it is suggested that transfer of metalinguistic competences acquired by young french pupils during « awakening to languages » activities is not transfered in explicit french grammar. Thus the aim of this thesis is centered on the various problems encountered in this type of transfert phenomena.Our first hypothesis is that different approaches to teaching can explain these bad results and lack of awareness. On one hand, « awakening to languages » has a student-centered approach, including participation, based on inductive reasoning process with problem-solving techniques, and leading to increased curiosity. On the other hand, french grammar activities has a didactic approach (teacher-centered), based on deductive reasoning process, leading to dependent, anxious learners. Our second hypothesis suggests that social representations of the french curriculum, in particular grammar (including spelling), due to his symbolic value and history, influences approaches to teaching and therefore the pupil cultural and cognitive representations. It seems than that these social representations of teachers could be an important variable of transfer phenomena.
