Towards the integration of the intercultural aspect in the teaching / learning of foreign languages. Case of the Algerian secondary cycle

Abstract

This research focuses on the importance of approaching the study of foreign culture in primary school
and actually integrating it into the teaching of F.L.E. Indeed, a foreign language should not be
excluded from its cultural context; It is for this reason that the discovery of a language is also effected
by the discovery of the country or countries where that language is spoken.
In the official Algerian instructions, the cultural aspect is mentioned but on the educational train,
priority is given to the acquisition of linguistic competence and it is most often absent and if it appears,
it is only at the end. list after communication and linguistic objectives. However, the language class is
often a link far removed from the cultural realities of the language, while learning a language is not
only about learning words, it is also about appropriating cultural codes.
It is therefore essential that the foreign country be made real and not remain a place of "pure fiction"
and the teacher must therefore integrate cultural data into linguistic work in order to give a more "real"
teaching of the language.
