Abstract EN:

The use of classical drama has come to be a real fact in the general education system of french school children as well as in the specialized training of actors. Taking this into account leads to ascertain a certain nomber of achievements resulting from the work done on a such texts, which vary noticeably depending on whether that kind of work pertains to a traditional type of study or is rather geared to an approach more specifically related to drama itself. Such interesting developments include namely the improvement of expression and establishing of a better relationship with others, for the learner. The very writing techniques in such texts offer a starting-point for a reflection on the building process of expression and on the procedures taking place in the exchange itself. Indeed, classical drama, thus used as a true pedagogical tool, teaches the structuring of a personal expression, the flexibility of which favours the adapting of it to any kind of exchange situation, -which requires the more or less sophisticated elaboration of a "social" performance, or at least the mastery and control of a given "staged" situation.
