Advantages and Limits of the Implementation of Blended Learning for Development of Language Skills in Scientific Students

AbstractLanguage is serious issue in Morocco. Scientific disciplines are taught in Arabic in secondary education, However, arabisation process is not extended to university. This put students face to a scientific teaching in French language. Consequently, serious linguistic difficulties appear and impact learning. With the university reform, coming into force in 2003-2004, solutions to this issue appear especially the insertion of Languages and Communication module in the university curricula having as an objective to help especially freshmen and sophomore to develop their linguistic skills by using blended learning (TICE). Indeed, since 2009/2012, we launched innovative steps for training students - besides class courses – to a remote course via FOSEL platform. The student will choose supplementary activities according to his needs. Our article is based on an experience of French speciality learning for students of hard science majors via the platform FOSEL in college of Sciences Ben Msik- Casablanca. This formation indeed gave us the occasion to gather a corpus of data liable to notice and analyse contribution of blended learning for students of hard science majors
