This article deals with the issue of teaching methods and pedagogical tools implemented on elementary schools in Senegal. It focuses on the pedagogy project and the use of student journals in teaching and learning activities. The study questions an important aspect of pedagogical tool: student journals, kept by pupils while working on their project around which teaching and learning activities are centered. Therefore, questions we are trying to answer will revolve how that specific tool can contribute to the acquisition of French language, what characterizes it and how it is used by the pupils. Pedagogy Project is part of socio-constructivist learning theories in education. At the center of the system lies the project whose authors-actors are students. While knowing that different aspects of the system allow the integration of various factors influencing language acquisition (Klein, 1989), the questions we are trying to answer will revolve around how this particular tool can contribute to French language acquisition, which means characterizes it and how it is used by students. To conduct our study, we proceeded by participative observation while implementing project pedagogy system in elementary school in Dakar, Senegal. Data were collected through direct observation, interviews and notes on student journals have produced significant results on many issues. Through the experiment, student journals have proved to be effective on teaching and learning activities and acquisition of French as second language by allowing not only an active pedagogy, but also by promoting freedom of expression among pupils. With student journals and its characteristics, pupils have gradually produced texts that attest situated language skills acquisition and their need to express their concerns. Results have also shown the importance of student journals as effective tool for the teacher in classroom strategy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
