L’ENSEIGNEMENT DU FLE À L'ÉCOLE PRIMAIRE AU GHANA: RÉALITÉS, ENJEUX ET PERSPECTIVES
FLE TEACHING IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN GHANA: REALITIES CHALLENGES AHEAD

Summary/Abstract: This paper seeks to present the status of the Teaching of French at basic educational levels in Ghana. It seeks, specifically, to revisit the methodological, material and human resource difficulties faced by primary schools offering French. Indeed, Ghana, an Anglophone country where French is taught as a foreign language has a language teaching policy that requires schools to start offering French at the Junior High School level. However, since its implementation, private primary schools are increasingly introducing the teaching of French, a phenomenon which is becoming the order of the day. It is, thus, imperative to consider the actual challenges that such a phenomenon could be causing. Against that background, this paper seeks, specifically, to answer the following major question: Are the work and learning conditions put in place by primary schools offering French in line with the requirements prescribed for the teaching of a foreign language, especially French, at basic educational levels?
