Poems and songs as method of teaching-learning for FLE learners are less used in higher education in comparison with primary or secondary schools... Because most of the teachers of A2-B1 levels think that it is a difficult activity to be implemented in the educational process, they often avoid their usage. In this article, the author proposes a «pedagogical» classification of poems /songs/, gives an example, which can serve as a guide for the creation of other teaching-learning materials, as well as sources for it.

Dans la plupart des programmes la poésie et la chanson tiennent peu de place: si elles ont encore droit de cité dans le primaire ou secondaire, en revanche les enseignants des niveaux A2-B1, jugeant qu’il s’agit d’un genre difficile, en délaissent souvent l’exploitation. L’article propose une classification« didactique » des poésies et des chansons, illustre leur exploitation, renvoie à des sources pour la création de matériels pédagogiques.
