The experience of a workshop of the student storyteller or the pedagogy of body-oral expression

In the context of language teaching, such as theatre, learning does not only take place through words but through a number of aspects that include the body, the voice as well as the cultural and semiotic environment in which all action takes place. We place ourselves in a perspective that takes the practical object as a research theme and according to the proverb, a fixed method is not a method. Based on a personal experience, we found in the tale a material appropriate to the concrete context of teaching French to second-year students of the LMD degree in the department of French at the University of M'sila. A very interesting experience that resulted from a pedagogical approach to difficulties, failures, and research in the way of teaching oral French to a heterogeneous public. The result was rich, encouraging, even moving, that we propose to share the experience in the context of this contribution.
