Abstract

The aim of this research is to propose pedagogical ideas for improving the quality of teaching / learning of French language / culture in the Jordanian university context. To do so, we will focus on the importance of cultural and intercultural aspects in acquiring a foreign language communication skill. We will then emphasize on clarifying the terms of culture, civilization and interculturality, often confused by foreign language teachers. Subsequently, we will discuss the role of interculturality in communication with others and the role of cultural competence in teaching FFL. The study ends with a number of pedagogical reflections based on our personal experiences and the results of two questionnaires carried out among Jordanian teachers and learners.
