The paper explores the integration of intercultural learning within foreign language education, emphasizing its importance for effective teaching and learning. Jörg Roche's insights highlight the need to restructure traditional foreign language lessons to include cultural contexts, arguing that language and culture are interconnected. He cautions against using fragmented or inaccurate cultural information, which can distort learners' perceptions of the target culture and hinder authentic language use. Roche advocates for a holistic approach to language instruction that enriches students' understanding and engagement.
