Engagement politique et approche interculturelle, diffusion du français en milieu tertiaire non-francophone. (Political engagement and the intercultural approach, teaching French in a non-francophone tertiary environment)

It then considers what political engagement can mean within this approach in the teaching of French in a non-francophone environment such as Australia, and at tertiary level and based on the analysis of teacher-researchers' responses during a round table in French studies in Melbourne/Australia.
