We suggest, in this article, a discussion on the possibility of a language teaching founded on multilingualism and, moreover, on the learner's multilingual resources. This posture, which is based on the principles of convergent pedagogy, will constitute, in our mind, of a strategy that permits the optimisation of the teaching/learning process of foreign languages as well as of the first language the learner discovers at school.
Résumé
Dans cet article, nous proposons une réflexion sur la possibilité d'un enseignement des langues basé sur le plurilinguisme et les ressources plurilingues des apprenants. Cette posture fondée sur les principes de la pédagogie convergente constituera, à notre avis, une stratégie permettant l'optimisation de l'enseignement/apprentissage des langues étrangères ainsi que la première langue d'enseignement que découvre l'apprenant à l'école.
