An intercultural approach in speech and language therapy with teen agers presenting learning disabilities. ; Une approche interculturelle en orthophonie-logopédie auprès d’adolescents présentant des troubles des apprentissages.

International audience ; In the context of educational marginalization and learning disorders, a speech therapy was proposed to four bilingual Arabic-speaking teenagers, in partnership with a linguistic mediator, an educator from of Algerian origin who speaks Arabic and French. Three results are presented: (1) Indirect effects in terms of institutional benefits are usable about the experience of migration, the search for identity, the impact on the type of bilinguality, and multiple aspects of the process of shared meaning between mother tongue (Arabic dialect) and second language (French standard). (2) Directand qualitative effects of such intervention in speech therapy highlight relationships between linguistic resilience and self-esteem, among mental flexibility and cognitive opening, a growing interest in complex second language, but also thedesire to learn other languages; however, the brakes remain in terms of hypo verbal spontaneity, of resistant phonological disorder, slow understanding and reluctance of families to use their mother tongue in the host country. (3) Finally, quantitative results demonstrate the necessary complementarity between oral language and associatedcognitive functions. Regardless of duration of exposure to French, a phonological deficit, transitional or residual, remains among four teenagers, requiring language training in this area. Promoting multidisciplinary exchanges and a dialog between cultures and languages, bilinguality appears as a resource and as a springboard for learning that leads to enhance cognitive and creative potential, especially in young people who are struggling to succeed at school. ; Une approche interculturelle en orthophonie-logopédie auprès d'adolescents présentant des troubles des apprentissages.
