Les Services Culturels de l'Ambassade de France aux États-Unis proposent un cycle de wébinaires animés par le Centre de Linguistique Appliquée -CLA- de l’Université de Franche-Comté et soutenus par l’Association américaine des professeurs de français (AATF).
Wébinaire n°5 : jeudi 15 mai 2014 de 15h30 à 17h00 (Eastern Time)
Thème proposé : « Enseigner avec l'image et la vidéo en classe de FLE ». Comment intégrer les images fixes et animées dans ses pratiques de classe ?
Évelyne Bérard présentera des pistes d’exploitation des images fixes et animées en établissant une correspondance entre les caractéristiques des documents visuels ou vidéo et leur utilisation en classe. Les documents présents dans la vie quotidienne ou disponibles sur Internet seront privilégiés. Leur utilisation en classe sera abordée dans la perspective de rendre l'élève plus autonome dans son apprentissage et de faciliter la fréquentation des médias francophones.
