Teachers’ feedback
English:
Students were eager to do SRS again (it was the second time).
The activity was longer than I have planned (about 30 minutes) because of the bad
internet connection. So I had to stop manually the countdown so that students could
connect.
This time I did not give them a written sheet at the beginning with the questions
(during the first activity they lost time writing the answers) but I gave them the
written correction afterwards. Next time I will spend less time with prepared activities
and try improvised questions to see how they react.

Cette fois-ci, j’ai donc attendu l’arrivée de tous les élèves avant de faire cette activité.
Cela dit, la durée de l’activité a été encore plus longue que prévue (environ 30
minutes) en raison de la mauvaise qualité de la connexion Internet (salle 211). J’ai
encore une fois dû arrêter, de temps en temps, manuellement, le compte à rebours
pour permettre aux élèves qui venaient de perdre la connexion de pouvoir participer.
Par ailleurs, j’ai su configurer correctement l’activité : les résultats des votes ne se
sont affichés qu’après la fin des votes.
Pour finir, contrairement au vendredi 6 novembre, je n’ai pas remis l’activité sur
support papier au début de l’activité (car certains d’entre eux perdaient trop de temps
à écrire la réponse et n’étaient pas toujours prêts à temps pour la question suivante).
En revanche, je leur ai remis la correction sur support papier une fois l’activité
terminée.
Action corrective : réduire la durée de l’activité SRS planifiée afin d’avoir le temps de
faire des activités SRS spontanées pendant le même cours. En effet, pour la deuxième
fois consécutive, je n’en ai pas eu le temps malheureusement.

The anonymous aspect of the activity reassure the learners who do not feel bothered
a possible problem of comprehension.
It helps the teacher to verify if the vocabulary that has been studied during the unity
is mastered.
Technical problems: the wifi connexion is sometimes a problem (learners don’t
connect in time)
French
Général : bon accueil de l’activité grâce notamment à l’anonymat des votes.
Pédagogie : permet aux professeurs de s’assurer que tous les élèves comprennent
bien ce qui a été vu pendant l’unité, notamment le vocabulaire concernant les
fournitures scolaires.

Méthode - Descriptif de l’activité et de ses étapes
Learners elaborate a quiz about alimentation to revize vocabulary. It is also reflexive
activity on what they have retained from the class and how they formulate a question.
ACTIVITÉ : faire élaborer par les apprenants un sondage sur l'alimentation
➔ Objectifs : connaître les habitudes alimentaires de la classe, comparer avec les habitudes
en France ; revoir le vocabulaire sur les aliments étudié en classe ; travailler les articles
partitifs ; pratiquer la forme interrogative
Questions/Consignes
Learners work in pairs and create a questionnaire on the theme of alimentation. An example
is given to them at the beginning. Afterwards they submit the poll to the whole class and
the results are commented afterwards in the group. An “alimentary profile” of the class is
made.
1.Par équipe de deux, les apprenants élaborent un questionnaire à choix multiple portant
sur l'alimentation. Exemple de question :
Pour le petit-déjeuner, tu bois :
A - Du café.
B - Du lait.
C - Du thé.
D – Du jus de fruit.
Pour chaque question, les apprenants votent et analysent les réponses, s'il y a lieu.

English : The objectives are reached. The adolescents appreciate this type of
activity which they find playful and motivating.
Disadvantage: they do not all possess a smartphone. Their cultural reflection and
interpretation of the results remain quite limited.
Points positifs: les objectifs sont atteints. Le public adolescent apprécie ce type de logiciel.
Points négatifs : les apprenants, jeunes adolescents, n'ont pas tous des portables. L'analyse
des résultats par les apprenants reste limitée, du fait du niveau et de l'âge.

LANGUAGE/LANGUE : french LEVEL/NIVEAU : à partir de B1
TOOL /OUTIL : SRS PUBLIC : Adultes
OBJECTIVES/OBJECTIFS : raconter une histoire
AUTHORS/AUTEURS : Lionel Bertholon- Institut Français d’Espagne
KEY WORDS/MOTS-CLÉS : CO VERSIONS : french/français
SESSION CODE : activité non testée
Objectif : créer une histoire en commun à partir d’une photo.
Le professeur propose une photo comme par exemple celle-ci :
Il est alors demandé aux apprenants regroupés par équipe (entre trois et cinq) de proposer
une lecture / interprétation de l’image, en déterminant, par exemple, pour commencer
l’identité ou la profession des personnages. Afin de préserver l'aspect amusant et créatif de
l'exercice, il est recommandé de demander aux apprenants de faire des propositions
originales et pas nécessairement rationnelles.
Le professeur peut commencer par poser la question suivante :
1. Dans quel pays se trouvent ces personnes et quelle est leur profession ?
Les membres de chaque équipe se concertent pour offrir une proposition aux autres
groupes. Cette proposition peut donner lieu à une justification des choix qui ont été faits.
Ainsi, on pourrait obtenir les propositions suivantes :
Ces personnes sont...
A- des espionnes bulgares en mission en Colombie.
B- des contorsionnistes slovènes parties à la plage à l'occasion d'un jour de repos
pendant une longue tournée mondiale.
C- des policières islandaises ayant pris pour couverture l'identité de touristes
hollandaises visitant le Mexique.

32
D- un couple de jeunes femmes, l'une dentiste belge, l'autre architecte italienne, en
vacances avec leur fille sur la Côte d'Azur.
À partir de ces propositions qui doivent créer un débat entre chaque équipe, le professeur
fait procéder à un vote afin de choisir la proposition qui tiendra lieu de base pour l'histoire.
Si du vote émerge une majorité pour, par exemple, la proposition B, alors les apprenants
sont amenés à poursuivre leurs réflexions en prenant en compte cette hypothèse de départ.
En fonction des points que le professeur voudra faire travailler (les temps verbaux - le passé
composé, le futur, le conditionnel – le lexique, les connecteurs logiques, etc.), il pourra poser
les questions qui lui semblent les plus opportunes.
Par exemple, pour travailler le passé composé, le professeur pourra demander quelles sont
les activités auxquelles se sont adonnées ces « contorsionnistes slovènes » durant les douze
dernières heures.
Ainsi, il sera demandé aux apprenants de voter lors de chaque « embranchement » du récit.
Les apprenants sont conduits à faire des choix qui les conditionnent pour effectuer d'autres
choix.
La progression suivra donc ce modèle où chaque embranchement représente un vote :
Les avantages de cet exercice sont multiples. On peut citer pêle-mêle :
stimuler l'imagination et d'ainsi donner la satisfaction aux apprenants de pouvoir créer
une histoire originale et pleine de rebondissements dans une langue étrangère,
mobiliser du lexique ainsi que des structures grammaticales variés et contextualisés,
créer un ambiance saine de collaboration entre les apprenants.
Les inconvénients peuvent être liés au manque d'imagination de certains étudiants et aux
recours trop nombreux au vote.
