>Collaboration between the International Association for the Improvement of
>Mother Tongue Education (IAIMTE) and the Education Department of the
>University of Toulouse II has existed for several years now. Such
>collaboration has resulted in a desire for face to face contact: the
>IAIMTE was intent on increasing its French audience, while the French team
>was able to grasp the opportunity to exchange their French-speaking
>studies in a broad international context. Thus, the IAIMTE requested the
>team from Toulouse organise the fifth conference in France (Albi) in 2005.
>For this conference, we invited specialists from French-speaking countries
>to present their research and reflections on the role of literature both
>inside and outside school. This issue presents the corresponding papers.

>First, several authors examine the nature and place of youth literature,
>as well as reading habits from early childhood to adulthood.
><http://l1.publication-archive.com/public?fn=ENTER&repository=1&article=237>Jean
>Perrot points to contemporary literary trends, considering the
>extraordinary development, both qualitative and quantitative, of
>publishing for youth over the last twenty years that he explains primarily
>by the equilibrium between the texts proposed by publishers and the young
>public’s expectations. Focusing on the notion of play, through artistic
>creation and themes relevant to children, literary professionals have got
>closer to the “soul” of children, and now seek to feed their imagination.
>Perrot evokes the consequences of these editorial choices on the
>construction of the child’s personality, as regards their initiation of
>the senses, language awareness, openness towards abstraction and exchanges
>with adults. This notion of sharing is questioned by
><http://l1.publication-archive.com/public?fn=ENTER&repository=1&article=238>Monique
>Sénéchal. She presents empirical data (from experimental, correlational
>and intervention research) relating to the influence of early home
>literacy practices on later school achievement, especially on children’s
>oral language skills and the acquisition of reading. Her findings invite
>us to think with a more subtle regard about the short-term and long-term
>effects of shared book experiences. Two contributions conclude this
>panorama by presenting results from investigations.
><http://l1.publication-archive.com/public?fn=ENTER&repository=1&article=239>Christine
>Barré-De Miniac first locates teenagers’ reading practices among their
>other cultural practices. She then distinguishes reading in general from
>literary reading. Young people’s reading and writing practices are also
>compared to the role currently played by the Internet and new
>technologies, to examine in what ways they complement or oppose each
>other.
><http://l1.publication-archive.com/public?fn=ENTER&repository=1&article=240>Nicole
>Robine then shows that young people’s reading practices are at the
>crossroads of social and cultural mediation in which school and the family
>share the primary role. Indeed, Robine notes that the separation of school
>reading and leisure reading traditionally made in research no longer
>corresponds to reality. She highlights the complex personal and social
>relationships in the construction of the stance of the reader.
>
>
>
>The two final contributions focus more specifically on the use of the
>youth literature in class, for the purposes of teaching reading and
>writing. Although school may be the place where children meet literature,
>school does not necessarily provide children with the ability to read
>literary texts nor with the ‘taste for reading’. Merely being exposed to
>literary writing does not suggest what the learner may be doing. The
>appreciation and study of a literary work is an active and constructive
>process which engages the learner on an affective and emotional level as
>well as an intellectual and cognitive one. This learning process is
>possible through the adult who accompanies the child in a process of
>building up meaning, in a dialogue to negotiate meaning and values. The
>roads leading to this process are not clear for pupils nor for
>teachers. One of the difficulties of using children’s literature in class
>is a consequence of centring on the textual object and the place which
>understanding and recreating the content of the story occupies. These
>often take a disproportionate importance with regard to the intended aim
>to develop the reader’s aesthetic and critical judgment. The didactic
>challenge is therefore to provide intellectual and methodological tools
>which will allow pupils to construct the meaning(s) of the text, but also
>be able to invest in the meeting between texts that are being offered to
>them, to make exchanges, to debate and to confront their points of view.
>
>In this perspective,
><http://l1.publication-archive.com/public?fn=ENTER&repository=1&article=241>Bernard
>Devanne presents an instructional approach to youth literature, which he
>has carried out for twenty-five years in collaboration with primary
>teachers. This approach to teaching reading and writing aims to support
>the emergence of cultural attitudes towards literary works through
>intertextuality, in articulation with continuous and diversified writing
>activities. Lastly,
><http://l1.publication-archive.com/public?fn=ENTER&repository=1&article=242>Serge
>Terwagne evokes first learning experiences in nursery school. He
>illustrates various didactic approaches, presents the theoretical models
>to which they are related and confronts them with the contemporary
>literature on offer. The level of quality reached by this new literature
>makes it possible to go beyond simple aspects of narrative comprehension
>to reach symbolic and aesthetic dimensions. To approach these books with
>young pupils, it is necessary to reconsider storybook reading. Terwagne
>proposes this through various didactic approaches.
