Using Microsoft Teams, Edpuzzle and LearningApps in Teaching Scientific and Technical French

Summary/Abstract: Lately, more and more learning applications and online learning tools are being used for teaching French as a foreign language. Moreover, today’s pandemic context somehow forces us to use these online teaching tools to keep contact with our students. This article will focus on three online learning tools that provide the teachers of French as o foreign language the necessary tools to create learning activities for their students. The example we used is the subject of Social Media which is a very appealing topic for the 1st year students of Computer Science Faculty within the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca. The learning apps we will use for exemplifying are Microsoft Teams, Edpuzzle and LearningApps. The learning objectives established at the beginning of the course were understanding the vocabulary related to the social media, the grammar structures such as l’impératif for the technical vocabulary or the specific language used in science, and the status of the social media nowadays. In order to attain these objectives, we will show how to create teaching activities related to the subject of social media using these learning apps. With the interactive activities on these online platforms we will facilitate the development of the CEFR language competences (listening and reading, understanding, spoken and written production) and we will offer examples of playful and interactive activities to make the acquisition of these language structures more attractive and include them in the technical and scientific language.
