Abstract
This paper firstly discusses, from a theoretical standpoint, the common features of the communicative and LSP approaches in Second Language Acquisition (SLA), and the relevance of using hypermedia to develop learning environments. We then present ‘A la Recherche d'un Emploi’ (ARE) as an illustration. The ARE program is the first module of the French for Specific Purposes course, called ‘Travailler en France’. It has been developed in Clermont‐Ferrand and immerses intermediate or advanced learners of French into the problem of looking for a job in France. It is based on a hypermedia environment, jointly set up by the partners of the European project CAMILLE 1 1CAMILLE (which stands for Computer‐Aided Multimedia Interactive Language Learning Environment) is partly financed by the LINGUA Programme. The current members of the CAMILLE Consortium are the University of Teesside, Middlesbrough, England ; Université Blaise Pascal and Université d'Auvergne, Clermont‐Ferrand, France ; Haages Hogeschool, The Hague, Netherlands ; and Universidad Politecnica, Valencia, Spain.
