Today, teachers and learners alike use the French language to study their numerous African cultures. With the intercultural approach, any language learner is required to move away from the old practice in order to partake in the ongoing “dialogue with people” from diverse backgrounds; since they will have observed and understood their values and cultures while preserving theirs.
