Résumé anglais Guy Vincent: The teaching of French and the educational system. The important role that is characteristic of the French language tests for the selection and orientation of secondary school students leads us to ask ourselves a few questions about the unequal verbal capabilities due to the students' social backgrounds, and having also something to do with the academic and social definition of those capabilities. This definition cannot be understood unless we refer to the social functions of the educational system. A vocabulary test, especially constructed to take into account the school's exigencies in that matter, allows us to perceive what really separates some categories of students, how the school accepts and, may be, even re-inforces language differences, and finally, it gives us a general idea of what an educational reform might be like in France, in terms of its contents, of its means and ends.
