Abstract:
Literature and French as a foreign language have marked the history of language learning methodologies. Changes in methodological approaches have generated distinct pedagogical situations depending on social contexts and cultural transformations. Technological advances have rendered conventional forms and methods of teaching obsolete, giving way to new, more motivating and innovative educational trends. Thanks to technology, distance learning via platforms such as Moodle and blended learning have recently emerged and have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic. Our contribution is part of this perspective. To this end, we conducted an experiment using the ""Telum"" platform with electrical engineering students, which took place in three phases: a preliminary survey to determine their level of French; integration of the course into Moodle, using a poem from Victor Hugo's ""Melancholy""; and an evaluation of the program through surveys and vocabulary retention tests. Analysis of the results revealed strong enthusiasm for the Moodle-based teaching approach. The vocabulary retention test revealed that 25.64% of students retained 90% of the words studied, while 69.23% had memorized at least 50% of the vocabulary nearly two months after the end of the course. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of using Moodle as a language learning system, with a significant increase in student motivation compared to traditional literature instruction.
