Summary/Abstract: Language biography consists of retracing the learning journey of a learner, from the beginner to advanced levels. This approach allows us to understand the evolution, the challenges encountered and the successes obtained in the acquisition of a language. Through this approach, we explore the different stages of learning, the methods used, the cultural influences and the personal experiences that have shaped our linguistic competence. In this article we will examine the language biography of students in technical fields whose main challenge is improving French to integrate into a French-speaking professional context. The objective is to better understand the difficulties overcome and the achievements throughout their learning journey. Afterwards, we will search to explore future perspectives for the continuous improvement of French teaching in technical fields, taking into account the specific needs of learners to facilitate their integration into the Francophone job market.
