Summary/Abstract: It is often said that the laughter is a way of communication, it expresses the joy of life and characterizes the human being. The humour, in a positive sense, is considered the primary emotion which releases the laughter. Using a pedagogy of humour may be one of the possible solutions to the boredom that rules frequently in the classrooms. Therefore, this would mean using the humour in a systematic manner, in order to create the right atmosphere for the learning process and to establish a relationship which cares more about the exchange and the collaboration. Obviously, in order that the learner could be motivated, he must feel involved in the learning process. In this sense, the humour is a major contributor. It boosts certainly the interest in learning thanks to an enjoyment at once mental, sensorial and physical, in the zest for life.
