INDICATIONS PEDAGOGIQUES
Ce manuel d’anglais destiné aux élèves de sixième (6ème) de l’enseignement moyen au
Tchad s’appuie entièrement sur les orientations des programmes réactualisés de
l’enseignement moyen fixés par Arrêté N° 250/PR/PM/MEN/CNC /2008 du 9
septembre 2008.

Le manuel est structuré en 25 leçons réparties dans les unités d’apprentissage (ou
paliers). A la fin de chaque unité d’apprentissage est prévue une semaine d’intégration
dans le but de permettre à l’apprenant d’intégrer les connaissances acquises pour
résoudre des situations-problèmes de la vie courante.

En plus du texte d’appui, chaque leçon est structurée autour des rubriques suivantes :

 Objective : ce que l’apprenant doit savoir ou savoir - faire au terme de la leçon ;

 I listen and I observe : l’apprenant écoute le professeur et observe les images du


texte d’appui ;

 I read : l’apprenant lit le text d’appui ;

 I practice : l’apprenant répond à des questions ou fait quelques exercices en rapport


avec le contenu du texte d’appui ;

 I memorize: ce que l’apprenant doit retenir en terme de notions et de structures


grammaticales ;

 I drill: l’apprenant traite quelques exercices d’application portant sur les notions
étudiées ;

 I pronounce: l’apprenant s’entraîne à prononcer correctement les mots ou les


phrases proposés.

Le manuel comporte également une liste des verbes irréguliers et un glossaire. Il


convient de rappeler cependant que ce manuel ne constitue qu’un support
pédagogique. Par conséquent il ne saurait apporter des solutions à toutes les
contraintes inhérentes à l’enseignement/apprentissage de la langue anglaise. C’est
pourquoi il est demandé à l’enseignant utilisateur de faire montre de créativité et de
savoir-faire pour en tirer le meilleur profit.
