Teaching French Culture and Translation in Tandem

Abstract

When a learner is confronted with a new way of communication, a class of language segmentation occurs because there is a conflict between the previous knowledge of the learner and the new language he is about to acquire. For this reason, and being conscious of huge task ahead of them, the foreign language teachers find means of teaching the language in a way that will facilitate the understanding of the learner. Bearing in mind that the teaching of a language entails the teaching of its culture, we try to see how the task can be done through translation without creating any confusion
