"Mustafa" film documentaire, à la quête de la réalité et de la fictionnalité, et son application à l'enseignement du FLE

Knowledge spreads freely all over the world despite the geographical boundaries. Therefore, the education of foreign languages becomes more important than ever. People have to communicate more effectively to capture knowledge. At this point, the importance of French language education, which is the subject of our study, cannot be neglected. In this study, we tried to analyze documentary/semi-documentary cinema in detail under the general concept of cinema by recognizing the importance of the role it plays in transfer of culture and ideology. In this process, while trying to analyze the meaning processes of the movie ?Mustafa? shot on the life of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk on one hand, on the other hand we tried to present suggestions on how it can be used in French education.The use of cinema language (fiction or documentary) makes the education process more dynamic by motivating students with its attention taking structure. The use of cinema in a French language class triggers the development of written and verbal expression skills of students. From this perspective, this study aims to improve the quality of the education process by suggesting the use of cinema in the education of French language.In our study we first analyzed the linguistic and non-linguistic communication systems. Afterwards, we discussed the meaning construction processes of cinematic communication systems by comparing ordinary language whose main indicator is words with cinema language which?s main indicator is image. While doing this, we tried to analyze the role of voice-over in the meaning construction process of the cinema, as the main differentiator of documentary cinema and fiction cinema. This guided us in understanding the strategies in the supporting arguments and in analyzing the implicit discourse. With this study, we are expecting to open new frontiers in the foreign language education process by proposing strategies on the use of documentaries in French language education.
