Abstract

In order to ensure a better integration of Moroccan students at the university, the incorporation of a language module in higher education institutions (HEIs) has been a necessity (CSEFRS, 2018: 44). Since 2004, several modifications have been made to the “Langue et Terminologie” (LT) module which has become an accredited and compulsory course. However, after years of experimentation, the intended objectives were not fully achieved and the actual needs of students in the field were not wholly met (Ibid.). Thus, several attempts were conducted by researchers and experts to implement more effective approaches such as French Language with Specific Objectives (FOS) and French Language with University Objectives (FOU) coupled with the potential of digital practices. This work is about a reflective practice (Dörnyei 2007), in the techno-pedagogical field, aimed at improving teaching practices in higher education. We tried to improve the performance of the LT module through the implementation of a blended course combining micro-tasks and macro-tasks related to the disciplinary field of learners. We relied on a FOS/FOU approach targeting both the discursive and linguistic skills in two Moroccan universities. Using a mixed approach, we conducted an analysis of learners’ oral and written achievements in the face-to-face and digital environment. We conclude with a few perspectives paving the way for the generalization of the system to other contexts in order to promote the development of the linguistic and discursive skills meeting the recommendations of the Ministry of higher education.

Research Contribution: This work is about a reflective practice in the techno-pedagogical field, aimed at improving the teaching practices of the LT module in Moroccan higher education. The main objective is to help university students improve their level of French language for a better academic and professional integration.
