Résumé
Cette étude explore le potentiel d’une activité de danse dirigée sur l’apprentissage du vocabulaire relatif au champ lexical des saisons, auprès d’enfants de milieux défavorisés. Des entretiens semi-dirigés incitant les enfants à décrire leurs connaissances sur les saisons ont été réalisés avant et après l’activité dansée, qui portait également sur ce thème. Des cartes sémantiques ont été créées à partir des données des entretiens afin d’observer l’accroissement de mots produits et la formation d’interrelations entre ces mots. Trois cas d’enfants de quatre ans ayant des connaissances initiales différentes sont présentés afin d’illustrer le potentiel variable que pourrait avoir l’activité de danse vécue dans ce projet sur l’apprentissage du vocabulaire.

Abstract
This study explores the potential of a dance activity addressed to children in disadvantaged settings and focused on learning vocabulary connected with the lexical field of the seasons. Semi-structured interviews were held before and after the activity in order to prompt the children to describe their season-related knowledge. Semantic maps were created based on the interview data to observe the increase in words that were used and the formation of interrelationships between these words. The article presents three cases of four-year-old children with differing initial knowledge in order to illustrate the varying potential of the dance activity in the context of this vocabulary learning project.

Resumen
Este estudio explora el potencial que puede tener una actividad de danza dirigida a niños de entornos vulnerables, para favorecer el aprendizaje del vocabulario relacionado con el campo lexical de las estaciones. Antes y después de la actividad de danza, cuya temática trataba el tema de las estaciones, se realizaron entrevistas semi-estructuradas. Durante éstas, se alentó a los niños a dar a conocer sus conocimientos sobre el tema. Con el fin de observar el incremento en la producción de palabras y su interrelación, se crearon mapas semánticos a partir de los datos de las entrevistas. Se presentan tres casos de niños de cuatro años, quienes al inicio del proyecto poseían niveles diferentes de conocimiento sobre el tema, para ilustrar el efecto potencial que podría tener la actividad de danza de este proyecto sobre el aprendizaje del vocabulario.
