The title of this article may well be one of the questions of any language teacher: “How can I best prepare my students to use the acquired foreign language in real life?” More often than not, confidence to speak in a foreign language is more useful than knowledge of its theoretical aspects, fluency is more important than accuracy, ideas and opinions are more exciting than grammar and vocabulary. The current language policies indicate that linguistic competence must be accompanied by cultural awareness and so it follows that the foreign language teacher’s mission is to pass on the knowledge of communicating beyond words, through a language of understanding and tolerance, of appreciation for the other’s values, customs and beliefs and an awareness of the different cultures among and around us.
