From Listening Comprehension To Active Student Engagement, Multilingual Kamishibai Serves As An Innovative Educational Tool For Algerian Primary Schools

Auteurs : Nasraoui Fatma .

Résumé

The difficulties associated with teaching oral comprehension in French as a foreign language, combined with the scarcity of research on kamishibai in Algeria, motivated this study. It aims to highlight the contribution of multilingual kamishibai to the development of the linguistic and cultural skills of fifth-grade primary school students in Khenchela, while examining its influence on their motivation and participation. An experimental approach was adopted, supplemented by a questionnaire sent to primary school teachers in order to verify the hypotheses and support the results. Data analysis shows that multilingual kamishibai is an effective tool, particularly in contexts where exposure to French is limited. It improves listening comprehension, stimulates student engagement, and offers innovative perspectives for teaching French as a foreign language in Algeria.
