Sumari:Taking account of learners’ extracurricular literacy practices is fashionable. Three factors will be put under scrutiny to understand why it is a topical issue: the changes in the type of learners, the evolution of teaching and learning conceptions and the development of new research fields in human sciences. I will then analyse the problems raised by this attitude to work (practice knowledge, selection procedures, risks of perverse effects, etc.) and potential benefits (knowledge and acknowledgement effects, “bridging” effect between students’ and school cultures, development of a research space within the classroom, specification of objectives and approaches, etc.). The heuristic value of the notion of practice will finally be put under scrutiny.
