Memes have been part of popular culture for a few years. Beyond entertainment, their educational power should not be underestimated.

Indeed, the creation of memes by a teacher allows him or her to revitalize and update his or her approach to the mastery of the French language. In the same spirit, getting students to create their own meme encourages them to approach language mastery from a playful angle rather than a punitive one, as is too often the case.

This practice implies a creative process, but also a metacognitive aspect that leads the student to approach his or her relationship with the French language differently.
