Analysis of the cultural component in textbooks for teaching French in the third stage of Primary Education
Abstract
In Foreign Languages Teaching, the culturalmcomponent is of paramount importance for the development of students’ communicative competence. For this reason, the acquisition of the French language must be developed within an eclectic framework promoting the integration of both linguistic and cultural contents; this way, it is necessary to include the cultural component in educational resources. From the initial levels, the cultural dimension underlying any communicative act must be taken into account when teaching languages.
That is the reason why the cultural contents in textbooks for teaching French in the third cycle of Primary Education have been analysed, to determine the quality of its pedagogical treatment and their suitability following the orientations of the leading methodological approaches in foreign language teaching.
