METHODOLOGY FOR USING THE FAIRY TALE BY CHARLES PERRAULT AT VARIOUS STAGES OF TEACHING FRENCH

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to describe the experimental methodology proposed by the author for working with a French fairy tale for students of the third (final) stage of general education in Russia (grades 10-11). The relevance of the study is determined by the unflagging interest of linguists and methodologists in the knowledge of the phenomenon of the epic genre of written and oral folk art. Of particular relevance is the appeal to such an important folk poetic work as a fairy tale, which helps to form foundations of morality. The methodology is offered to teachers working in secondary schools, gymnasiums and lyceums with in-depth study of a foreign (French) language, the proposed level is A2, B1. On the example of a little-known French fairy tale by Charles Perrault “Les fées” (Gifts from a Fairy), exercises are shown that contribute to the acquaintance and involvement of the student in the world of French folklore, the development of imagination, the formation of effective reading, writing, and analysis of syntactic and grammatical constructions , previously not found in educational texts offered as part of the compulsory school curriculum, improving speaking skills, forming judgment, defending personal opinions.
