Yet this process itself produces a description of teaching practices. Based on semi-experimental research that involves the reading of literary and non literary texts in four secondary classrooms, our contribution puts emphasis on the influence of the length and the status of the texts on the contents, i.e. the taught «object». More generally, we will show that the concept of «genre d’activité scolaire» is a descriptive and comprehensive tool of the dynamic of the «object» as it is shown, negotiated and constructed in the classroom.</p> ER -
