O ensino/aprendizagem da língua francesa como fator de inserção cultural para não nativos.

Abstract

In the last decades, France has received millions of political asylum requests every year, mainly by foreigners from Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. Immigration in this case is the final result of a series of socio-historical circumstances, as a sole alternative to their painful life situation. Once in the new country, he/she enters a process of conquering anew his/her cultural and linguistic identity. This paper aims at presenting three case studies of various nationalities (Chechen, Iranian, and Armenian), whereby a Brazilian French as a Foreign Language teacher faces the challenge of reconstructing significations and elaborating new interpretations that could account for these foreigners’ lives of origin and their lives in transformation in the new society.
