ABSTRACT: The purpose of this paper is to describe the
language interaction of pupils in a football game situation and to show how the
action plans are implemented. We have opted for a descriptive/exploratory
methodology that seeks to convey the pupil’s language typologies: 8 sessions
lasting one hour each with 14 boys aged 18 years and T = 8 hours of actual
practice. The goal is to help pupils to understand what happens during the play
situation in order to co-construct and implement a project of collective
action. The study includes: 1)a
qualitative analysis (Roulet, 1987) of Team“A”which aims to identify action projects developed by the boys, 2)a quantitative analysis of the same team
(Gréhaigne, Billiards,& Laroche, 1999)
seeking to check the implementation of these projects. The quantitative study
showed that pupils were able to validate their action plans during the eight
sessions. These results should be linked to the notion of“communication contract.”Indeed, in every act of communication,
partners understand and interact with each other by validating what makes sense
to them, namely:“the collective
intentions”(Searle, 1991),“joint intentionality”(Sensevy, 2008) and“negotiation”(Kerbrat-Orecchioni, 1984).
