Summary/Abstract: It is important to define the concepts of representations and discourse of textbooks, the notion of representations knowing different meanings according to the different authors who have defined it and who have implemented it in their works. We will show how the discourse in textbooks, especially that of the author or of the authors of the textbooks, can influence for students the forming of representations of French language and of Francophone speakers; because students fail to develop representations except through the author's eyes. The study of textbook discourse leads us to find that the communication in the French language classes as a foreign language is organized according to the speech voices that take place here.
