The paper aims to show the importance of creativity in the class of French as a Foreign Language (FLE). The objectives defined in this study are the deepening of theoretical knowledge as well as the search for teaching techniques to work on the writing skills in the course of FLE in a creative and effective way. Creative writing has been analyzed as an effective technique of teaching a foreign language, contributing to the activation of the students’ cognitive activity and increasing their interest in language learning. The paper shows didactic strategies that focus on creative writing activities as a motivating factor for learners.

In this article, we discuss a number of challenges with the empirical study of emotion and its relation to moral judgment. We examine a case study involving the moral foreign-language effect, according to which people show an increased utilitarian response tendency in moral dilemmas when using their non-native language. One important proposed explanation for this effect is that using one’s non-native language reduces emotional arousal, and that reduced emotion is responsible for this tendency. We offer reasons to think that there is insufficient evidence for accepting this explanation at present. We argue that there are three themes that constrain our current ability to draw firm empirical conclusions: 1) the frequent use of proxies or partial measures for emotions, 2) the lack of a predictive and generalizable theory of emotion and specific emotion-types, and 3) the obscurity of a baseline level of neutrality with respect to participant emotion. These lessons apply not only to research on the moral foreign-language effect, but to empirical research in moral psychology more generally.

The objective of the article is to analyse the didactic use of original literary texts in contemporary French textbooks of French as a foreign language. The author explores the issue whether didactic work with these texts (in the form of pre-reading, reading and post-reading tasks) does not lead to a reduction or flattening of their artistic value. Concerning the pedagogical goals of foreign language teaching, which are not primarily focused on the aesthetic perception of the text, but rather on the activation of students’ language inventory, we can assume that simplification naturally occurs. Work with the text is often led from global comprehension opening a pre-selected discussion topic, through targeted work with language inventory (e.g., expanding vocabulary) to the pupils’ own language production, to whom the text serves as a source of inspiration. Surprisingly, the analysis of selected textbooks showed that this didactic approach is not prevalent. In more than half of the cases, literary texts are processed with regard to the specifics of the artistic texts and thus serve not only to reflect on chosen topics, but also to make students more aware of artistic expression as such and of their own artistic creation.

Our culture is in constant development and, according to the theory of A. Moles, is subject to the socio-cultural dynamics of transformation, to which all objects of culture are subject. The school institution participates in the creation of culture by awakening interests, and transmitting knowledge, but this is done in the context of all the transformations that social culture is undergoing and in accordance with the understanding of this culture, formed in the spirit of contemporary challenges. The subject of this study will therefore be poetry as an object of culture, but also as an object of school culture. The aim of this article is to analyse the place and role of poetry in contemporary FLE teaching, embedded in the CEFR curriculum. In the first part of this article, we will therefore trace definitions and concepts related to Circuit of Culture theory of objects in the spirit of the theory of socio-dynamics of culture. Then we will devote our attention to literature and its representation in school culture and finally we will focus on the CEFR curriculum and the role of literature and poetry in the teaching of FLE, based on a few selected techniques used at secondary school in a class with an extended French curriculum. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of poetry texts from selected French textbooks reveal that the poetry taught in the FFL classroom is subject to the same dynamics as poetry as a cultural object in cultural circulation in contemporary society. Its place is reduced, which, however, does not mean it has completely disappeared. The interest of teachers and students in this form of expression of human thought which can still arouse admiration for its cognitive, aesthetic and emotional values remains a condition for its continuing presence.

In this article, we deal with listening comprehension skills as we would like to define it anew in light of an oral speech analysis perspective insisting on developing the communicative expertise. In order to do so, we rely on a methodology that implies observation and analysis of oral speech and that highlights the language dynamics and the multiple enunciative point of views structuring radio programme debates.

In the theoretical part of this paper, we propose to draw up a double panorama clarifying, on the one hand, the main linguistic and social issues connected with the feminization of job titles in the French-Polish contrastive perspective, and on the other hand, the data-driven didactic approach favouring the development of lexical and general skills. Secondly, we examine the results of a project adopting this methodology in which the formation of the feminine forms of job titles was analysed by students through lexicographic sources and a text corpus. The results show that lexicographers are not always unanimous about feminine lexemes, and that the language usage reflected in the corpus of texts using contemporary language does not confirm the use of all forms proposed by prestigious institutions and dictionaries. Another advantage of this approach lies in the development of students' autonomy, their capacity for critical analysis and their heuristic skills, which are very important extralinguistic goals in university education.

The linguistic overview of the word holiday in the three languages (French, Lithuanian and Polish) is promising for the intercultural approach to teaching French as a foreign language with a view to go beyond the roughly monocultural contexts in Poland and Lithuania. The research is based on text corpora in these three languages. Its objective is to analyse the linguistic images of the word holiday and its Lithuanian and Polish equivalents and to examine their collocational (non)coincidence in order to systematize the teaching/learning of collocations to French learners. The aim would be to help students retain meaning and lexical association simultaneously, as well as to fix the structures they already partially know and to discover (inter)cultural aspects.
