The Covid-19 pandemic has invaded almost the entire planet. Thisdisease forced the Jordanian education and university system to make a sudden transition from traditional classroom teaching / learning to a virtual world in which teachers and learners found themselves faced with previously inexperienced technological tools. These digital platforms have changed people's perception of the teaching / learning of foreign languages and cultures.This article evaluated the preparation and the perception towards the e-learning and the impact of the latter on teachers and learners of French as a foreign language, while using two questionnaires.15teachers and 60students answered the questionnaires. The results showed that 15% of teachers and 70% of learners have the computer skills required for the use and the integration of digital tools during lessons. 25% of teachers and 71% of learners rated the transition from traditional lessons to digital lessons as easy. Most of the participants (70% of teachers and 85% of students) felt that online teaching / learning allowed more flexibility despite the fact that these respondents preferred classical education in the classroom.A minority of students said that switching to e-learning due to health conditions made them feel lonely (11.77%), anxious (7.31%) and depressed (10.25%).Giventhe possibility to choose, it was realized that participants would prefer a blended teaching / learning, where some teaching activities are switched to online platforms.

The thriller tells daily explosive facts which take place, in most of the time, in a urban space. The authors describe, as the critics have observed, the most serious troubles in today’s society. Crimes, racism, trafficking, terrorism, theft, etc., all these crimes become the mark of an unbalanced world, a world in crisis. The “suburban”thriller, like suburban literature in general, circumscribes the scene in which the modern “misérables”clash. HLM, dangerous neighborhoods suffer because of urban disintegration, their inhabitants become victims of spatial and social dissolution. Rachid Santaki portrays in his novels young people who have lost their bearings, actors in a society where money is the only value, where violence is commonplace. In our contribution, we propose to see what are the different aspects of the French social malaise that Santaki denounces in the novels Flic ou Caillera(2013) and Les Princes du bitume(2017).

Islamophobic work with an Islamophile hero? Michel Houellebecq seems to play on the opposition games in Submission, a work that foresees both political and social tension between secular and IslamizedFrance, in the context of the presidential elections in 2022. Behind the macroscopic conflicts, the author portrays a hero, a professor of literature, who tries to find religious enlightenment by following in the footsteps of Huysmans. As he fails, he canonly submit to Islamic rule. What does an Islamic regime in France symbolize in this novel? What does the hero’s failure to God and his submission to Islam mean? Is there still a place for belief in our time? In this paper, we will try to answer these questions by clarifying the political but especially religious and literary stakes of this novel.

, Khaled Kelkalevokes the trajectory of Khaled Kelkal, son of Algerian immigrants from the Lyon suburbs, radicalized in prison, and involved in various terrorist attacks in France in 1995. Although the novel takes the form of a testimony from Kelkal with a single voice,polyphony allows Salim Bachi to constantly make two points of view coincide within the narration, that of the radicalized and that of a skeptic Other, who gauges various speeches, and is sort of a double of the author. Points of view and intertextuality allow the reader to exercise their critical mind, making the novel both a pedagogical text on jihadist recruitment and a praxis of deradicalization.

We propose a fictional reading of the contemporary French socio-political context from the analysis of the prospective novel Jamais de guerre civile le mardiby Yves Bourdillon (2020). It will be a question of reviewing the components of a national malaise caused by the identity upheavals that France has been experiencing for forty years and which leaves the threat of a fantasyorreal conflict, but whose hypothesis is pervasive in the public and media debate.

Our purpose is to reflect on way the texts from the end of the last century have made this modality of “engagement”some how . In addition, we will try to ascertain and present what the new methods of literary intervention consist of.

The critique of liberalism and its impact on all facets of life is a topic that structures Michel Houellebecq’snovels. His last two novels, Submissionand Serotonin, point out the dislocation of society into many parts that no longer communicate because they hold different values and occasionally end up clashing. Writing a work of fiction, like the Naturalist novelists, is a way to conduct political and social experiments toproduce an analysis of the contemporary world. This analysis is created by a singular voice that imposes its temperament, its obsessions,and its convictions on this representation of reality. This paperwill try to expose the character of this voice and the tensions it describes in French society.
