Abstract
The knowledge of a foreign language means discovering a new unknown culture in all its depth and variety. The key to a successful communication across borders is intercultural communicative competence which combines both linguistic and cultural aspects of general language competence. In Poland, in the year 2002 a major school reform was introduced. According to the new regulations, teaching a foreign language should aim at developing learner communicative competence in all its dimensions. As there are few coursebooks for teaching German as a foreign language available in Poland relying primarly on intercultural approach, it seemed necessary to investigate whether it was possible to achieve the goals of modern language policy using a coursebook promoting the communicative approach to teaching a foreign language. The present empirical study presents a profound analysis of cultural components found in the coursebook Themen neu and the quantitative-qualitative analysis of the research data collected among Polish secondary school teachers and learners, who worked with this coursebook. The final section contains the conclusions and suggestions concerning the type of cultural content needed in the coursebooks if they are intended to help learners in developing their intercultural communicative competence.
