| Sumario: | In this paper, we analyse the treatment of the cultural component in a textbook for teaching Spanish in secondary education in Cameroon. We ask ourselves which components of Hispanic and Cameroonian culture are included in the textbook under analysis and how they are treated. Our objective is to determine whether the cultural content present in the textbook under study is relevant and sufficient to enable teachers to develop their students' intercultural communication skills. Our findings show that we are still a long way from fully integrating the cultural component into the textbook analysed. We also observe that encyclopaedic cultural content predominates, to the detriment of the cultural patterns underlying communicative interactions that support reflection on one's own culture and that of the target language and promote the development of intercultural competence. |
