Un choix méthodologique pour l'enseignement de la langue française en Espagne dans la première moitié du XXe siècle

The author presents an extract from a notebook used for class preparation by a French teacher who taught in Spain from 1927 to 1971. He was trained at the Instiución Libre de Enseñanza, an institute that brought a significant contribution to the renewal of modern language teaching. An indeed, the texts drawn up by our teacher ¿lively an rooted in de lived experience of his students- reflect the principles of de active school, centring the educational experience around the students¿ need and interests. But they also show the mixed or eclectic methodological approach to teaching that began to appear all across Europe between the two wars, and which brought flexibility to the direct method by combining the hardline propositions coming from Germany with more traditional approaches. It¿s a very modern methodological approach for the time in Spain.
