then, we focus on the principles of the new textbooks and on the intercultural education.

in last, we open the perspectives towards studies having this dimension or others as subject of exploration.

in fact, the new revision of textbooks had in reality only the reintroduction of the same learning contents especially by the textual approach and the exclusion of the aspects of intercultural education.
