Abstract
This article examines language acquisition principles in the context of French as a foreign language, focusing on the effectiveness of various teaching methods and the integration of technology in modern classrooms. Theories of language acquisition, including behaviorist, nativist, and interactionist perspectives, are reviewed, highlighting their relevance to French language instruction. Key challenges, such as phonetic complexity and cultural nuances, are analyzed to propose strategies for effective language acquisition. Findings support a blended approach combining traditional and digital resources, demonstrating significant improvements in learners' linguistic and cultural competencies.
