Arabic in the FLE Course in Secondary School: Representations and Practices

This article focuses on translation as a process of communication between different languages, highlighting lexical and syntactic differences. It focuses on the study of the coexistence of languages in French courses at the secondary level in Algeria. The research is based on semi-structured interviews with French teachers and a questionnaire for 3AS (secondary year) students. The answers collected relate both to the language practices of the students and to metalinguistic discourse. Discourse analysis makes it possible to explore representations of languages, their norms, characteristics and status by teachers and students, which influence strategies for learning and using languages.
