Abstract

La maitrise de l’expression ecrite d’une langue etrangere au niveau academique est sans doute une aptitude langagiere qui pose aux apprenants le plus de problemes. Etant donne que choisir la langue de redaction signifie inevitablement opter pour un mode de pensee, la difficulte majeure ne reside pas dans les systemes grammatical et linguistique dissemblables mais dans les differences culturelles et intellectuelles de la conception du texte. Il s’avere donc primordial de faire decouvrir aux etudiants les principes fondamentaux de la structuration des idees de la langue cible. La communication se fixe pour objectif de presenter le cours d’expression ecrite destinee aux etudiants des disciplines non-philologiques a travers l’universite desirant apprendre a bien rediger des textes français a des fins universitaires et scientifiques. Nous aimerions demontrer comment il est possible de faire face aux besoins varies d’un public heterogene avec des attentes, motivations et dispositions disparates.

Abstract (in English)

The aim of this paper is to share experience of the course of French written expression for students of non-philological disciplines across the university. This course is one of a hundred of courses innovated and newly created in the Compact Project carried out in 2009-2012 by the Masaryk University Language Centre, the largest language centre in the Czech Republic. The goal of this project was to improve language teaching in a complex and innovative way and respond to the changing needs of learners. A new project entitled Impact took over in May 2012 in order to pursue those activities on the national level. We would like to demonstrate how to effectively cope with diverse needs of a heterogeneous audience with disparate expectations, motivations and competences while concentrating on cultural and intellectual differences in the process of text creation.
