| Popis: | In the teaching-learning of languages, digital tools are said to allow learners to be more motivated, and to produce a more elaborate and better-quality work. French language, compulsory in the Mauritian school curriculum, from primary school to secondary school (Cambridge O-Level), is a subject that worries learners who have difficulties in expressing themselves in writing. In this study, Scratch, a free software developed by the MIT, was used among students enrolled in the first year at Universite des Mascareignes (Mauritius) to revise the basics of grammar in a fun way. Learners’ comments at the end of the sessions were analysed to identify not only the positive aspects of this learning method, but also to review its shortcomings and the problems encountered. In other words, we pose the problem from the point of view of the learners, in order to know if it is possible to strengthen one’s knowledge and skills in French language by moving away from the traditional method of teaching and by using Scratch software in groups. |
