This article describes a qualitative research project designed to explore the relationship between the study of a FL literary text and the development of competence in a second culture (C2). The study compared the attitudes and performances of students who read a fact sheet about Cbte d’hoire and the attitudes and performances ofstudents who studied a poem about Cote d’hoire. We found that the students who read the fact sheet learned about the culture of Cote dhoire in a rigid way that could foster stereotypes. Students who read the poem, on the other hand, explored their ownfeelings about the language and content ofthe poem. The study supports the notion that literary texts contribute to students’ affective awareness and cognitive flexibility, and are therefore more effective for developing C2 competence. This study suggests ways to achieve the goals, articulated in the national standards, offostering knowledge about and understanding of other cultures
