Abstract

This article focuses on the interaction that takes place in class through the literary text, a teaching aid for learners. It deals with the study of the autobiographical novel entitled "La Boite à Merveilles", by the Moroccan writer Ahmed SEFRIOUI, intended for learners in the 1st year of the baccalaureate in the qualifying secondary cycle. This interaction was analysed during a reading session, using a semi-structured interview guide with teachers belonging to high school, based on three open questions formulated in a fairly general way. The first question concerned the comprehensibility and assimilability of a passage from La boite à Merveilles, the second question is devoted to the role of Moroccan culture in encouraging, fostering, and simulating the interaction between the learner and the teacher in the classroom, and the third question wonders about the effectiveness and relevance of this teaching medium in developing learners' linguistic and communicative skills. This analysis and the results obtained show that there is interaction during the reading session because the learners are able to understand this literary text given that they belong to this Moroccan culture, an essential factor which facilitates and simplifies the apprehension and deciphering of this device and improves several skills.
