Resumen

Learning a foreign language develops the tools for dealing with various types of survival challenges, technical skills, and interpersonal exchanges across and among cultures. This means that it is quite important to learn not only English, but also some other languages as French, which has been regarded as third language of international communication and work. The objective of this paper is to propose a community project for the teaching of the French language to young learners in their community. The current research is carried out through action- research. During the process, qualitative and quantitative procedures are combined and the dialectical unit between the levels of the knowledge is established. This paper provides teachers of French with a useful communicative booklet of exercises that will help them contribute to the teaching of the French language to young learners in their community as well as with a proposal of a procedure to implement community projects with that aim. The main transformations are produced in the school as it has a project for the teaching of French, which is a motivating extracurricular activity; and in the subjects of research, who showed an increasing progress in their knowledge about the French language and culture, in interest, motivation, participation and their performance in the target language.
