Summary: | <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:0in">Learning a foreign language cannot
be separated from literature and culture. One of the definitions of literature
is a reflection of society; so through literature we can know the real image of
society as well as the culture. Moreover, by knowing the foreign cultures of
the countries from which we learn the language, we can not only read, but also
understand the problems that appear in the texts studied. Similarly, French
culture cannot be separated from Maghreb culture. The two cultures complement
each other, later becoming the content of various literary, French literary and
Francophone literary. The relationship between the two cultures is also part of
the content of Virginie Despentes' novel <i>Apocalypse
bébé</i>. Through this novel, we can see an image of the relationship between
France and the Maghreb people in their social life. Thus, as a learner of
French, we could know not only French culture through the textbooks published
by French publishers, but also recognize the French culture associated with
France both directly and indirectly. Therefore, the literary text entitled <i>Apocalypse bébé</i> can be an alternative
source of learning French, not only in terms of language attached to vocabulary
and grammar, but also to know French and Francophone culture so that students
know the relationship for understanding and analyzing literary works.</p>
