1. PRELIMINAIRES

The program of the Techniques d'expression et de communication course falls within the
guidelines determined by the decree of July 24, 1997, which defines the priority missions of
basic education and secondary education and organizes the structures specific to them. reach.

This course is part of the following bundled options:

Kitchen and dining room, 2nd level of vocational education, 1 period in each year,

Administrative and reception assistant, 3rd level of vocational education, 2 periods in each
year,

Social and animation techniques (variant A), 2nd stage of technical qualification education, 1
period in each of the years.

The holder of this course (see specificity of functions) is the French teacher.

In addition, the 3 options mentioned pursue very different objectives (a qualification profile)
and integrate the targeted course

- at different times during the course (2nd degree, 3rd


degree); - in different forms of education (qualification, professional); - for a
different number of periods (1 or 2).

Therefore, the program foresees 3 versions, specific for each option (pages 17, 21, 26).

In this spirit, it is essential to collaborate closely with the professors giving the technical and
professional courses of the options considered.

· This collaboration is also planned in the opposite direction for holders of the
Practical work and Methods course, 2nd professional degree Kitchen and
dining room, in Methodological and teaching advice: “Establish coordination
with the course on technical expression ”.

· Similarly, for the Social and Animation Techniques option (variant A), it is
necessary to collaborate with the holders of the Animation Techniques and
Investigations, Visits and Seminars courses (in Practical work).

· With regard to the Administrative and Reception Assistant option, collaboration


with the holder of the Reception, Organization and Secretarial Technique
course will be absolutely essential, given that the program of this course (of
application since the 2004-2005 school year) includes 3 modules (out of 6)
centered on the notion of communication.

2. FOREWORD

Among the 3 options providing for the Techniques of expression and communication course,
the 2 options of the 2nd degree classify this course as Basic technical training, while the option
of 3degree classifies him in Oriented General Education.
and

This means that this course is an extension of General Education. Consequently, the program
will be articulated in the same way as the program of the French course, which brings together
the 2nd and 3rd degree of professional and technical Humanities, and which refers to the
Terminal skills and common knowledge listed in the repository of the same name.

More specifically, this standard provides on page 12 that:

“To build their knowledge, students will be encouraged to:


communicate

1. Connect with others:

Dare to express
yourself Use reasoned debate
Address others without being aggressive, let them express themselves and
listen to them Learn the meaning of nuance, beware of manichean attitudes
Understand the signs of nonverbal expression and their effect on communication,
being aware of their means to facilitate it,
· adapt the form and content of the message to the receiver,
· accept negotiation as a value, · propose alternative
solutions, · recognize the importance of the contribution of
each within the group, · work as a team, collaborate in order to the
realization of a project;

2. Practice the French language:

· Practice the language with clarity, improve its use in the main
communicative situation,
Expand their lexicon, apply the main rules of syntax in order to
to express an understandable thought,
· Broaden the common language through access to specific languages (disciplinary
or professional);

3. Read, write, listen and speak in a variety of communication situations. »

Machine Translated by Google

In the process, the program of the French course mentioned above highlights:

1) communication: “Whatever the case, the teacher will always keep in focus this prescription of the
“specifications” that constitute the reference system and this program: do everything possible so
that his students progress, that they are increasingly proficient in communication skills through
reading, writing, speaking and listening. »

2) the task-problem: it is “an educational device designed by the teacher to enable and facilitate the
acquisition and stabilization of skills. » It is always about "communication tasks-problems" (pp.3-4)

Among the 25 examples of task-problems presented in the French program, several can be exploited and
deepened within the framework of the Techniques of expression and communication course, an additional
reason for the teacher of the two courses to be the same.

3. SKILLS TO MASTER

and

These skills will be reached at the end of the 2nd degree, except proficiency
Structuring and organizing its expression, which will be reached at the end of the 3rd degree.

Dare to express
yourself : · raise
your voice; · to manage stress.

Mastering the non-verbal :


· body posture; · glance ; ·
physical presentation; ·
facial expression …

Adapt your expression : · use


a language level; · speak without
aggression; · listen and allow others
to express themselves; · master professional
vocabulary; · maintain the public's attention.

Structuring and organizing one's expression :


· preparing one's message orally and/or in writing; · speak
from a diagram, a plan.

Express yourself within the group with a view to achieving an objective :


· learn to negotiate, to argue; · learn the meaning
of nuance; · recognize everyone's contribution;
· propose alternative solutions.

Comments

The first skill (Dare to express yourself) is a sine qua non for the development of the other skills. It will therefore
be installed first. Furthermore, it will be essential to frequently update the Operational Contents and learning
situations, as well as the associated Contents (see tables below), which allowed a first appropriation of this skill.

At the same time, it will be advantageous to provide back and forth between the various skills, with the objective
of progressive deepening.

4. LEARNING SITUATIONS

The numerous learning situations are listed in the first column of the tables constituting
the program for each of the 3 options (pages 16 to 29).

The associated contents (2nd column of the tables) allow the exercise of these situations.

Several associated contents can be implemented for such or such learning situation.

Example for the Dare to speak skill :


The Presenting yourself in a group situation involves at least:

· voice and breathing, adapted vocabulary;


· flow and punctuation; · stress management.

Example for the skill Mastering the non-verbal:


The situation Identifying the effects caused by non-verbal signs in the interlocutor involves at least:

· interpretation of mimes, facial expressions, gestural and bodily attitudes; ·


ability to observe people.

Example for the Adapt one's expression skill:


The situation Adapt the content of the message to the receiver involves at least:

· voice, speed and pauses, intonations;


· choice of specific, technical and scientific vocabulary; ·
language levels; · communication scheme.

The bibliography (pp. 31-32) provides short presentations of the content of the works
cited. In these presentations, emphasis is placed on the learning situations as well as on
the associated content.

Thus, for BARLOW: improvisation from an image, portrait game, devil's advocate.

For CHARLES and WILAME, very concrete (and progressive) aspects of communication…

For oral expression : there are the explanations necessary to develop certain associated content
such as the voice (and its precise relationship with a type of breathing), diction, intonation,
regional accents, etc.

THREE LEARNING SITUATIONS

INTRODUCTION

1) The following pages develop 3 examples of learning situations, which


each apply in particular to one of the 3 options considered.

Presented according to the method used for the examples of task-problems


contained in the French program for the 2nd and 3rd qualification levels
(reference 92/2002/240), they include a title that is necessarily more specific than
those listed in the first column of the different tables presented in the pages

2) These situations target the 3 skills presented on page 6, in relation to the Guidelines
(pp. 11-12), itself already mentioned on page 3.

1. 3 and 4th Professional KITCHEN AND ROOM

EXPLAIN A MENU ACCORDING TO THE CONTACTS

Preliminary remark

The interlocutors can be work colleagues as well as customers present in the room.
Moreover, a privileged recipient is also the written document, in other words the menu that will have to be
offered in the dining room. This document (which is the intermediary allowing the student to make his oral
presentation to the clients) must be presented and analyzed in such a way as to allow the student to adapt
his expression.

Analysis of the procedure1

The teacher offers the students documents (menus) taken from popular cookbooks, professional operating
procedures, magazines for the general public, etc.

At the same time, it reinstalls the notions of language levels.

Finally, it provides training and structuring exercises relating to the stages of narration (chronological and
spatial textual organizers), but also on the oral aspect (to be linked with Analysis of the task, point 3 below ).

Task analysis

1) Among the documents proposed, after an observation phase, we select together a complete and well
detailed menu.

2) The problem is posed and studied: what will become of this menu in the kitchen, in the language of the
chef? How can we adapt it in this perspective? Attention is drawn to the choice of specific and technical
vocabulary, as well as to language levels.

3) The student rewrites this menu so as to be able to present it orally (but with the support of the written
document) to the customer. This develops the voice, flow and pauses, intonation.

This learning situation will be offered during the school year, at a time when different
prior learning (see below) will have been completed.

Valuation bases (according to page 30)

The student will be able to detail a menu (list the dishes, but also briefly explain what the
dishes consist of).

His or her oral presentation will comply with the competency mastery indicators listed on
page 19, 3rd column.

Target skill

Adapt his expression (see page 5).

2. 5 and 6th Professional ADMINISTRATIVE AND RECEPTION ASSISTANT

APPLY USING A FORM

Analysis of the procedure

It is based on a form containing various elements of a person's presentation (see pages 12 and 13).

From this form, different activities are proposed.

Task analysis

1) The students respond in writing to the various questions on the form.

Observation: defining oneself, talking about oneself in the straightjacket of a form is not always easy.

2) With the support of this form, each student introduces himself orally to another student in the class
and vice versa.

3) After listening to the other student, he orally introduces him to the whole class.

Observation: the difference between speaking to a single person (we "tell each other more") and
speaking in front of a whole group (we say fewer things, sometimes less personal things, we have
difficulty remembering the information given by the other).

At this stage, various remarks and training and structuring exercises should be considered, relating in
particular to:

- voice, articulation, gestures; - the


humor that can be slipped into the spoken word, the touch of originality;
- the need to structure his speech, by introducing the presentation,
providing logical subdivisions: first the "civil status", then
the studies,
tastes, projects,
effectively ending his presentation (this must be felt in the intonation, in
the words used and not by a "that's it, it's over" or "I don't know anymore").

- 10 -
Machine Translated by Google

4) Each student is invited to introduce himself using his first name only.

Findings:

- We can make a neutral presentation or convey a feeling, a character trait


in the first name.
- The intonation is important: it sometimes says more than the first name itself.
- We can explain the choice of the first name, give its etymology or the reason for this
choice.

Valuation bases (according to page 30)

The student will be able to present himself orally to the class.


He will also be able to orally introduce another student to the whole class.

His or her oral presentation will comply with the competency mastery indicators listed on page 21.

Target skill

Dare to express yourself (see page 5).

3. 3 and

and 4th Qualification Techniques SOCIAL TECHNIQUES Variant A

COMMUNICATE A MESSAGE WITHOUT USING LANGUAGE

Analysis of the procedure

Three different and successive stages will be considered:

1) Observation phase of a non-verbal message; 2)


Exploitation of this non-verbal message (awareness of the meaning of the message); 3)
Application by students.

Task analysis

Three intermediate tasks will correspond to these three stages.

1) The teacher has the students observe the non-verbal aspect of oral messages.

For example, excerpts from recorded television debates, a short presentation by the teacher on a
topical subject, a short communication by a student on a subject that is close to his heart, or on a
theme on which he wants to share his ideas.

To facilitate the work, the teacher gives the students an observation chart to complete. This grid
makes it possible to identify the gestures, facial expressions, movements, gestural and bodily
attitudes of the speaker.

2) The exploitation will highlight, by comparing the students' notes, the specificities of the non-
verbal, in particular its very persuasive character, the importance of the spatial element and
especially the fact that it can be interpreted in a different way. , and not expected by the sender of
the message.

3) Students are encouraged to practice. They can be asked to prepare for a few minutes (individually
or in small groups) the expression of a non-verbal message (eg anger, joy, fear), which they will
then pass on to the whole class.

Another example: a given situation is described to them, a situation which they must then act out.

- 14 -
Machine Translated by Google

Methodological remarks

1) Preparation is essential: these are real moments when the student must concentrate,
internalize the message that he will have to express in a non-verbal way: the teacher will
help him to reach this maximum concentration, by small exercises appropriate (see
bibliography).

2) The spatial aspect is important: the student must be able (during preparation and during
production) to move freely. Conversely, in some cases, a specific space not to "overflow" will
be imposed on him. In any case, this assumes that the teacher will try, as far as possible, to
use an appropriate room (examples: the Physical Education room, a courtyard, etc.).

Valuation bases (according to page 30)

The student will be able to communicate a message without using verbal language.

Its presentation will comply with the indicators of mastery of skills listed on page 27, 3rd
column.

Target skill

Master the non-verbal (see page 5).

The structuring of the narration (see Related Content) is very important. It involves a presentation of the subject (how is the story “installed” in

in this regard.

6. EVALUATION

In a course of this type, it is above all important to motivate the students well, in order to gain their
support for the proposed activities.

Evaluation during the year will therefore be essentially formative, and most often self-formative. It will
highlight the achievements of the students, more than their possible weaknesses.

During the qualification test, the Expression Techniques teacher will be present: he will have provided a
specific observation grid.

Finally, he will be involved in student internships.

A classic French teacher's tool, this manual gives good exercises and examples taken from literature,
comics, sketches, and makes it possible to clearly explain certain associated content (for example, the
communication diagram).

VANOYE, MOUCHON, SARRAZAC, Practices of the Oral, collection U, Armand Colin, 1981.

The authors start from the principle that the teaching of oral is now the business of all French teachers
and all trainers in “expression and communication ”. They offer simple theoretical benchmarks,
particularly in the field of psycho-sociology.
They also present concrete proposals concerning listening, gesture and movement, interaction situations,
etc. They also consider theatrical acting as a means of learning and developing expressive skills.
