Summary/Abstract: With the globalization of economies, the usage of English has become increasingly "democratized". It is the language that the people must learn if they want to "succeed" that the teaching of English has surpassed the French, even in many French-speaking countries. Which is the best way to promote the usage of French in this context? Stronger coordination between the member countries of the Francophonie (French-speaking countries) not only through a simple language policy, but also in the field of lexical neologisms seems to be important.
