Beyond this, we tried to assess the educational role of these practices and the dialogue established between school culture and popular culture. In order to comprehend the data, we based on qualitative approach assumptions. From the technical and methodological standpoint, we used the field diary. It was made from observations in YAE classes in the school, locus of this research, educators' planning meetings which let us observe the activity construction process. We also interviewed eight students, two teachers, one YAE teaching coordinator, a manager and a coordinator of the studied school.
