French Learning Based on Malay Ecology for High School Students in Medan City

Abstract

Learning French in high school carries an introduction to French culture as a form of cultural acculturation. Learning French is not only about learning the language, but also about culture. Even so, in learning French texts, students still have to negotiate with the foreign culture they are studying. There needs to be an adaptation of the French language into the ecological culture of the learner. So far, French teaching materials have not been sufficient to accommodate the ecological culture of students. Learning French doesn't have to be French. In the cultural context that surrounds students, students must also be able to collaborate between the Basic Competencies that must be achieved with the ecological relevance of using French. Therefore, it is necessary to present teaching materials for French Language Subjects based on Malay Ecology for high school students in the city of Medan.
