LE TEXTE LITTERAIRE ET L’INTERCULTUREL EN CLASSE DE FLE- L’EXPLOITATION DE CELUI QUI N'AVAIT JAMAIS VU LA MER DE LE CLÉZIO
LITERARY TEXT AND INTERCULTURAL IN FRENCH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE CLASSE EXPLOITATION OF THE SHORT STORY ENTITLED ONE WHO HAD NEVER SEEN THE SEA OF LE CLÉZIO

Summary/Abstract: Nowadays, the world becomes more than ever multicultural with the arrival of globalization. The effect of this globalisation has been felt in Europe where there are transnational exchanges in not only social, cultural but also economic and political level. In these circumstances, learning a foreign language becomes crucial because it becomes a place of encounter among societies culturally, linguistically, and politically as well in which the contact with the other becomes necessary. It is impossible to envisage an education without taking into account the intercultural competence. In fact, language didactics try to develop a pedagogy integrated with intercultural communicative competence in foreign language classes. The elaboration of curriculum adopts especially in a French context an intercultural perspective rather than multicultural. The researcher tries to question the place of the intercultural against multicultural in these classes. The article deals especially with the literary texts used as a support for teaching. The literary texts are reconsidered as a productive support with the arrival of communicative approach. This revalorisation is analysed in details in the research in which the researcher also exploited a short story entitled “one who had never seen the sea” of Le Clezio in an intercultural perspective.
