Course Description
Didactic tools are at the heart of the teaching action. Alongside the teachers' words, they provide a large part of the language data (input), which feeds the learning process. These material objects, designed for the school (such as the textbook), constitute the classroom environment. All the work, including even the gestural conduct of the teacher, is put at the service of learning in the classroom. By calling them “tools”, we insist that these material objects cannot be detached from the use made of them to support the process of teaching/learning. The same material support can be used, sometimes as a central or peripheral tool. They are used to overcome difficulties in the process of transmission. Tools also contain the most innovative ways of using digital components that have already been implemented. Using these tools results in speeches, presentations, and movements in class, such as displacement, body postures, and gestures making a solid tie between a text and a current life situation. They become objects in the didactic interaction as they help in the meaningful negotiation process.
