The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages centres the elaboration of the curricula on the basis of the specificity of the audience, its objectives and needs. In this vein, the section entitled “Recommendations”, reads as follows: “it is absolutely necessary to define with the highest accuracy and without any delay those valued aims which are best adapted to the learners’ needs and which conform to our teaching reality considering their defining characteristics and the resources available. With this aim in mind, we approach the teaching of French as a language for specific purposes. As teachers working at the Escuela Superior de Agrónomos we are forced to elaborate our own teaching materials due to a lack of them in the teaching market as well as to the specific needs that our students have. After carrying out a needs analysis, in this article we put forward an example of integration of ICT in a didactic unit elaborated around a technical topic, that of milk. This cultural and technical choice will allow us to deal with professional, communicative and linguistic aims.

Taking inspiration from Robert Melançon's work on the dysphoria, euphoria and mythification structuring the representation of the New World in the account of Jacques Cartier's travels, the author of this text analyzes La grande épopée de Jacques Cartier, a series of novels for young people written by Eugène Achard between 1935 and 1942, in which the landscape is invested with a French Canadian identity that it lacked at the time of the discovery.

Because climate change will likely have major impacts in low-lying coastal areas, our ability for evaluating predictable consequences of coastal hazards in the future already represents a key issue in coastal risk reduction. This paper presents examples of the application of a method aimed at assessing the future position of the shoreline and at mapping areas that will be at risk of flooding by 2065 with future sea-level rise at two coastal localities of northern France where properties are already threatened by erosion or flooding. Our results show that erosion is the main coastal hazard at one of the two study sites where a large part of a housing estate may disappear by 2065 if no action is taken for limiting coastal erosion. Although marine flooding represents the primary risk at the second study site, coastal erosion will increase the risk of flooding of properties in the future due to the decrease in width of the protective coastal dunes. Comparison of our results with the coastal hazard maps published by the French government shows significant differences that can be explained by the fact that the risk of erosion was not considered in the Coastal Risk Protection Plans (PPRL) of the two municipalities considered in this study, which raises the question of the reliability of areas at risk defined without taking into account future shoreline evolution trends.
