Summary/Abstract: Assuming that the acquisition of a foreign language, in our case French, is much faster and easier when an effective methodology and adapted to the learning style of the students adds dynamic learning activities and fun, I proposed this new approach whose learning activities are realized through the theatre. By interpreting the action and the characters the students realized the issues of communication. The overcoming of the language blockages, the self-control that they demonstrated during the year and at the time of the evaluation, as well as the best results obtained at the final evaluation, allowed us to conclude that their oral communication skills and written have clearly improved. On a personal level, this active and responsive learning approach has stimulated their creativity and imagination. Regarding social relations, we have seen the creation of true solidarity and strong cohesion within the group.
