| Summary: | This article examines the role of normative grammatical explanations – conveyed by textbooks and grammars of French as a foreign language, and mainly based on writing – in grammatical conceptualization activities. We filmed 5 groups of 4 B1 learners listening to a recorded oral corpus, and engaged in a collaborative task of conceptualization of the formation rules of the “Futur simple”. Interactions within the groups show that most participants base their reasoning on writing in spite of the oral data provided to them. While taking notes, students tend to assume –according to their previous grammatical knowledge– that “Futur simple” is constructed on the basis of the written form of the Infinitive (e.g. jouer+a), a rule which, in most cases, is inconsistent with spoken French morphology (*/ȝwe/+/a/). This tension between written and oral forms – observed in all groups –, leads to conceptualization difficulties and a certain destabilization among learners. However metalinguistic and metacognitive comments reveal an intense reflexive activity, which could ultimately allow some deconstruction process of ordinary grammar explanations. |
