The paper focuses on the use of the dictionaries in the context of French as a foreign language in Poland. We assume, according to the Common European Framework and some other theoretical studies, that a dictionary is not only a learning tool but also a text which implies strategies of use. Consequently we consider that the learners should be provided with full-fledged dictionary skills which would make them able to explore the totality of linguistic and cultural richness of a dictionary. Unfortunately, we can prove that the use of dictionaries (particularly the monolingual ones) is not frequently integrated as a didactic goal in the French handbooks. Eventually, the analysis of 133 students’ surveys highlights some of the shortcomings and deficiencies in their practice of monoligual dictionaries. Their linguistic biographies emphasize the need of teaching advantages and disadvantages of different kinds of dictionaries and the special features of their micro- and macrostructure.

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 aim of this article is to present the results of research carried out within the European perspective on Literature, Culture, Language and Certification (EpoLCLC) project, according to three main axes: contemporary reading practices and the image of French literature among contemporary readers in a sociological approach; reading strategies of foreign language texts in a psycholinguistic approach; the place of translations and the representation of the role of the literary translator among contemporary readers in the light of conceptions related to cultural transfers and the global circulation of literature. The analysis and interpretation of the data collected during the course of the project will make it possible to compare the image we have of literature and the reader in our time with a set of real practices and beliefs, as defined by the people questioned during the study. More generally, it will be a question of drawing up, again from the data collected, a portrait of the European student as a reader and of defining the place that French and Francophone literature occupies in his or her daily practices.
