Analysis of the Interactions in the Classes of French as a Foreign Language

The field of research in this article is centered on the analysis of the interactions taking place in the classes of French as a foreign language. We aim to show in which way the speech is constructed between the participants and how it generates changes to the taught/learned language and which is the place of metalanguage in these interactions. Like in the case of studying verbals interactions, the analysis of didactic interactions is found at the cross of many disciplinary fields: that of linguistics, of didactics, of statements theories, etc. In consequence, our step towards an analysis of didactic speech in the classes of French as a foreign language will take place from an interactionist point of view because it concerns the interaction between teachers and students.
