Le rôle de l’évaluation dans la construction de l’autonomie en acquisition lexicale en classe de FLE : cas des apprenants de 5ᵉ année du cycle primaire de l’école M’Barek El Mili, El Maleh, Ain-Temouchent

Abstract

This research examines the influence of assessment on vocabulary expansion and the strengthening of autonomy in fifth-grade primary school students learning French as a foreign language (FLE). The aim of this study is to illustrate the impact of assessment methods on vocabulary acquisition and student engagement in their own learning process. A comparative analysis was conducted in two fifth-grade primary school classes. The impact of assessment on student performance was determined using data obtained through observation of the sessions and review of the activities carried out. The conclusions drawn indicate that the inclusion of assessment, particularly formative and self-assessment assessment, increases vocabulary assimilation, boosts student engagement, and strengthens their independence. This research therefore highlights that assessment is an essential teaching tool for promoting vocabulary learning in the FLE classroom.
