Training of grammar

Of France, at the school, the teaching of grammar consists of a training of the rules of the French language which must make it possible all the pupils who attend it to correctly express their opinion, to include/understand the remarks which are addressed to them and to analyze the texts which they read. The goal is that at the end of four years, at the exit of the Collège, the pupil controls the tools of the language which are the Vocabulaire, grammar and the orthography to be able to read, include/understand and write texts in various contexts. The teaching of pleasing grammar to examine the texts, and to become aware that the language constitutes a system which can be analyzed. This knowledge is acquired gradually, by traversing the facts of language and the syntactic mechanisms of French, while going from simplest to most complex.

The exercises according to the program of the course must be inlassablement practiced to allow the assimilation of the rules stated in the course. That supposes that the Maître corrects the exercises. The pupil can in practice follow his progress of the language by comparing his results. Thus can it adapt the grammatical rules and control little by little the Logique intern of the syntactic system.

The grammatical analysis of the sentences constitutes the key objective of the teaching of grammar at the school. Its practice makes it possible to recognize a Texte like a coherent whole and conditions the training of a foreign language. The grammatical Terminologie serves this objective.
