Les activites ludiques au service de l'enseignement/apprentissage du francais

Recreational activities are considered as a very effective mean of learning. It represents many advantages for the process of learning a foreign language. In this research, we will assess the effect of recreational activities on the teaching/learning of French in a class of French as a Foreign Language in Jordan. We will assess if these activities help developing certain skills among the learners such as reading (pronunciation) and the acquisition of the lexicon. To answer these questions and to measure the impact of using these activities on students' grades, we conducted a comparative longitudinal study of two groups of students. A questionnaire was also carried out to collect student's opinions concerning the use of these activities in the classroom.
