In reaction to the ineffectiveness of the traditional methodology used in Greece for the teaching of the French language, a group of teachers of the French Institute of Athens developed in 1946 a new learning strategy more suitable for the needs of the beginners\ : the so called {\textquotedblleft}oral method{\textquotedblright} had been inspired from the direct method. The implementation of the new\ method required the development/production of materials, as well as the organization of pedagogical courses for aspiring and confirmed teachers of French. Thanks to the use of effective strategies of diffusion, the {\textquotedblleft}oral method{\textquotedblright} was acknowledged as a valid pedagogical method and became a source of inspiration for other cultural institutions in Europe.\ It ceased to be used in Greece in 1961.}, url = {https://journals.openedition.org/dhfles/4456}, author = {Loukia Efthymiou and Nikolas Manitakis} }
