Abstract

This article is intended to show the importance of information and communication technology (ICT) in the teaching and learning of foreign languages and cultures. It is obvious that learning a foreign language is always accompanied by learning the culture. When speaking a language, we often refer to its culture which facilitates the communications with the other. Thus, we cannot speak a foreign language without knowing its cultural reference because the language and its culture are inseparable. But how can you learn a foreign culture without immersing yourself in the society that speaks this language? Technology therefore sees itself playing the role of cultural mediator between the learner of this foreign language and the society that speaks that language. The insertion of the technology certainly has strengths, but it must also have drawbacks that can hinder the learning process. Therefore to be useful, the insertion of the technology in foreign language education should not be hold according to general indications but in relation to every context's specificities.
