Abstract
(en) Teaching French as a Foreign Language in the Taiwanese Educational System: Linguistic and Praxeologic Analysis. As a student in French Literature and teacher of French Foreign Language in Taiwan, and during the preparation of the Ph. D. in the french speaking part of Belgium, I could ascertain the gaps in the taiwanese educational system. This twofold experience was the incentive to my choice of this sujbect. From noticing the narrow interdependence between language and culture, arose the necessity to ponder about the Chinese cultural concepts (coming from Confucianism, Taoïsm and Buddhism) and to explain them to my french fellowteachers, who wondered why their elsewhere well tried methods sometimes met unfavourable issues. This lead me up to study the contrast between french and chinese languages (graphic and phonetic systems, morphosyntax, text organization, aso.) in their 'technical' aspects as well as in the cultural impact on them (harmony, hierarchy, politeness, face, superstitions). After a detailed explanation of the pointed differences - sometimes all the more dangerous for being unsuspected (as misunderstanding very often results of cultural innocence)-, I chosed the communicative approaches which seem to fit better cultural transference. Our didactic proposals aim thus at introducing this methodology, better adjusted to the Taiwanese milieu, as well at improving the four language skills keeping in sight the cultural open mind and communication. Last but not least, their objective will be to mould autonomous learners, able to turn the notions we taught them into the best account.
