  • Kaouli Nadir

Résumé

The following paper is an attempt to examine the way the foreign language culture is introduced in the language classroom and how it apprehended by students. The aim is to sensitize teachers of the importance of developing the student’ intercultural competence.. The main conclusion we reached is that, given the crucial role of culture, its appropriate teaching imposes itself in order to help students identify similarities and points of difference between their own culture and the foreign language culture in order to understand the other and maintain the positive from both cultures.
