For a renewed intercultural to the benefit of an otherness reaffirmed in the FLE textbook

Abstract

Our present contribution partially resumes our thesis and translates in general, a reflection around the notion of
intercultural whose practice is often assimilated to culturalism. So, we will report different intercultural perceptions and then we
will situate ourselves by opting for a renewed intercultural, conferring on otherness a privileged status. Then we will discuss
the language school book and its relationship to social representations, and we will try to demonstrate the role it can
play in intercultural training, especially through authentic documents. To do this, we will conduct a content analysis of an
authentic document that is a literary extract of Montaigne, chosen by us, followed by a pedagogical note to highlight, at the
same time, the intercultural potential of this document and its exploitation in a language class aimed at the dual linguistic and
intercultural objective. Also, our purpose in this article is to recommend frequent use of this type of document in the language school book, especially the FLE textbook.
