Sumario:The aim of this article is to present and describe part of the process of developing didactic material for an online course aimed at teaching French as a foreign language using the Moodle virtual environment. The asynchronous course was developed over the course of a year as part of a pedagogical and linguistic training program for French trainees, with the participation of two trainee students from an extension center at a Brazilian federal university. To this end, the research is based on the theoretical-methodological framework of Sociodiscursive Interactionism (Bronckart, 1999, 2021) and especially regarding the use of textual genres in the teaching and learning of languages (Dolz; Schneuwly, 1998; Schneuwly; Dolz, 2004). The material proposes activities on the Moodle platform aimed at contributing to the development of students’ language capacities (Schneuwly; Dolz, 2004; Stutz; Cristovão, 2011), possibly transferable to other genres. The results point to the effectiveness of the Moodle virtual environment for language teaching and the respective development of interactional activities that make it possible to act in a foreign language, due to the variety of resources offered by the platform, which can meet the demands and diverse learning styles.
