Abstract

This document summarizes the seven logics currently available for the didactic treatment of documents in the language classroom: literary, document, support, mediation, documentation, social, plural. In addition to the description of these seven "document logics", it proposes the following elements: (1) a first table illustrating the relationship between the document logic and the methodological matrices; (2) a second table illustrating the role that complex pedagogical projects can play, that of integrator of all these documentary logics; (3) finally, a bibliography giving the references of the source articles of this document, as well as other articles presenting concrete examples of the application of these different logics, including a "User's Guide" proposing a plurimethodological approach to video sketches.
