Children who have special needs face various problems. Most of them are not able to attend school, to participate in the social life, to be a part of the community, though they have equal rights as other members of the society. Children who learn together with disabled pupils have different view points on them. Many of these pupils have a wrong viewpoint about disabled children.

Drama (theatre) education gives an opportunity to expand one’s ���ego”, to express oneself on the stage as well as in every day life.

The pupils of primary forms attend theatrical clubs and periods having different demands, interests, views and attitudes. There are a lot of educational problems the pupils encounter while attending theatrical clubs and periods. At the beginning of the course they are active, receptive, curious and later after having come across some problems they lose their interest in theatrical activities. So having a purpose becomes especially important as pupils educate themselves and the teacher only helps to improve them. While trying to achieve motivated, meaningful education every teacher must know the interests of pupils and their likes and dislikes. For this reason the demands of the primary forms pupils were searched in this work. The most of the attention was devoted to cognitive, social and communicative demands, the causes of their occurrence, the purposes of their development and which of them motivate the primary pupils most of all in the theatrical activities. The research was carried out involving the primary pupils of six Alytus primary schools ( Senamiestis, Drevinukas, Dzūkija, Putinai, Panemunė and Volungė Schools). The questionnaire was made of 22 questions, it was filled in by 173 primary pupils who participate in theatrical activities.

Ce travail de thèse a pour objectif d'étudier l'enseignement de la littérature française dans le système universitaire grec afin d’en dégager ses principales caractéristiques. Les départements de Français langue étrangère (FLE) des universités d'Athènes et de Thessaloniki seront les lieux de notre observation. Dans cette perspective, notre étude s’attachera à présenter l‘enseignement et l'apprentissage de la littérature en croisant les attentes et les conceptions des étudiants avec celles induites par les manuels mais aussi avec celles proposées par les professeurs et l‘institution universitaire. Toutefois, cette présentation ne pourra se faire sans une évocation préalable des environnements institutionnels et des programmes officiels de cette discipline parfois contestée voire en danger. A cette occasion, nous pourrons identifier le statut et la fonction de la littérature par rapport aux autres enseignements des départements FLE, puis mettre en lumière les objectifs et les méthodes d’enseignement de la littérature. Pour la réalisation de notre étude, nous mettrons en place des questionnaires auprès des étudiants et des entretiens auprès des professeurs afin d’identifier d’une part les représentations, les motivations et la nature des choix effectués en matière de textes et d’autre part les méthodologies adoptées. On s'interrogera enfin sur les évolutions possibles et souhaitables de cet enseignement de la littérature au sein des cursus de FLE dans les universités grecques. Des suggestions, des améliorations et des propositions didactiques seront faites afin de mieux atteindre les objectifs visés et de réduire l’échec. / This doctoral thesis aims to examine the teaching of French literature in the Greek university system in order to establish its main features. The departments of French as a foreign language (FLE) of the universities of Athens and Thessaloniki will be under observation.From this point of view, our study will attempt to present teaching and learning of the literature by crossing expectations and the concepts of the students with those induced by the handbooks as wells as those proposed by the professors and the university institution. However, this presentation could not be done without a preliminary evocation of the institutional environments and official programs of this discipline which sometimes contested or even in danger. From this scope, we will be able to identify the status and function of the literature compared to the other courses of the departments FLE and, then, to clarify the objectives and methods of teaching literature.For the realization of our study, we will distribute questionnaires to the students and interview the professors in order to identify, on the one hand, the representations, motivations and the nature of choices made in relation to texts and on the other hand, the adopted methodologies. Finally, this work will explore the possible and desirable evolutions in literature education within the courses of FLE in the Greek universities. Suggestions, identification of areas for improvement and didactic propositions will be made in order to attain the pursued goals and to reduce student failure. / Η παρούσα εργασία με αντικείμενο τη Διδακτική των Γλωσσών και των Πολιτισμών έχειστόχο να μελετήσει τη διδασκαλία της Γαλλικής Λογοτεχνίας στην ελληνική τριτοβάθμιαεκπαίδευση και να ανακαλύψει τα κύρια χαρακτηριστικά της. Η έρευνα πραγματοποιήθηκεστηριζόμενη στην παρατήρηση των πρακτικών των τμημάτων «Γαλλικής Γλώσσας καιΛογοτεχνίας» της Αθήνας και της Θεσσαλονίκης. Αρχικά, περιγράφονται τα δύο Τμήματα, οοδηγός σπουδών τους καθώς και η θέση των λογοτεχνικών μαθημάτων, η χρησιμότητα τωνοποίων ορισμένες φορές αμφισβείται με αποτέλεσμα να βρίσκονται σε κίνδυνο. Βασισμένησε ερωτηματολόγια και συνεντεύξεις τα οποία πραγματοποιήθηκαν με τη συνεργασίαφοιτητών και καθηγητών, η έρευνα αυτή επιχειρεί να ανιχνεύσει τις αναπαραστάσεις καθώςκαι τη φύση των επιλογών σχετικά με τα κείμενα και τις προσεγγίσεις που υιοθετούνται γιατη διδασκαλία της λογοτεχνίας. Η παρούσα διατριβή διασταυρώνει τις προσδοκίες και τιςαντιλήψεις των φοιτητών με αυτές που προάγουν τα εγχειρίδια και προτείνουν οιπανεπιστημιακοί εκπαιδευτικοί. Τέλος, παρουσιάζει διδακτικές προτάσεις ικανές νασυνάδουν με τα ενδιαφέροντα των Ελλήνων φοιτητών και να ικανοποιούν τις ανάγκες τους.Έχοντας εκθέσει το θεωρητικό πλαίσιο και τους στόχους, προτείνεται η εισαγωγή θεατρικώνπρακτικών καθώς και τεχνικές δημιουργικής γραφής με σκοπό να μυηθούν οι φοιτητές σε μιαπιο διαδραστική και συνεργατική μάθηση.
