Abstract

Grammar as it appears in FLE (French as a foreign language) textbooks will undergo a certain transformation at the time of its teaching in the classroom under the influence in particular of the method adopted by the teacher and the terminological choices that this one endorses. Through the observation of a grammar session about the issue of the passive (voice) in a FLE classroom in Tunisia, this article attempts to highlight some teaching practices as well as failures in the grammatical culture of students. The gap between the grammar intended to be taught and that actually taught in classroom reflects the importance of grammatical practices and proves to their crucial role in the development of the learners’ grammatical competence.
