A major educational aim which can be identified at the level of teaching/learning foreign languages, is the development of an “intercultural personality”. According to the European Frame of Reference For Languages, the knowledge, awareness and understanding of the relationships that should be established, the similarities and contrasts between “the world we come from” and “ that of the target-language community” are at the core of achieving that cultural awareness. Starting from these considerations, through our paper, we set to emphasize on the contribution of the aquisition of French as a Foreign Language to the development of intercultural skills and competences on our students part. From the point of view of theoretical or descriptive linguistics, language is a highly symbloic, complex system, which vehicles, in certain communication situations, implicit cultural significance belonging to the field of behavioral, existential culture. It is important to get our learners familiar with such words and expressions through which this new type of culture travels. These communication tools, analysed from a contrastive approach contribute to the learners’ developing real communication ability. This should further enable them to manage efficiently the communicational flaws, miss-understandings or cultural conflicts.
