Language is an ideal tool that humans use to communicate with their fellow human beings. Thus, vocabulary plays a key role in learning French. Different methods are used in the classroom to accredit the teaching of foreign language vocabulary in middle school in Sweden. Since vocabulary learning is a slow process and does not always result in comprehensibility of words, it is therefore perfectly appropriate to provide precise vocabulary teaching. This study explores how the teacher uses the method of lexical lists for learning vocabulary for students in FLE class and which choice methods are recommended by our informants. This study is drawn upon the theories developed in the books Engelsk språkdidatik and Språkdidatik which explained already existing theories from other theorists in vocabulary learning. Also, we used the book entitled Le FLE en questions Enseigner le français langue étrangère et seconde. We have also combined Noam Chomsky's work on cognitive-based language learning into our theoretical framework. In order to be able to reach the aim and to answer the research question; a qualitative method and a quantitative method have been used in this thesis based on a survey conducted among French teachers in FLE class. The findings show that the method of lexical lists is essential in learning vocabulary. Indeed, it allows students to learn words from different themes and also revise them. Nevertheless, the method of lexical lists, alone is not sufficient in learning the vocabulary of a new language in class of FLE. Thus, it must be associated with other approaches such as reading, games, films, dialogues, presentations, quizlet and glosboken.se.
