Abstract:
Our work falls within the framework of teaching French as a foreign language. Our
study aims to highlight the strategies implemented by the learner and the teacher in order to
acquire interactional competence. We conducted our survey in an out-of-school environment
with adult learners who were aware of their oral difficulties and whose common goal was to
learn to communicate in French. Our approach is analytical and is based on the principles of
the ethnography of communication in the language classroom. We also used instigation tools
that adapt to the data collected and the needs of this research. The results obtained show that
the interactive learners and teachers implement several strategies to achieve their interactional
objective.
