 Today's MFL coursebooks are often written by authors who are not natives of the country where a particular coursebook is being used, and sometimes the reading content presented in the books is not close to home for students who come from a different cultural background from that of the author. This can have a negative effect on them because they cannot identify themselves with that particular content. With little or no prior knowledge of the content's background, learning grammar from this perspective can be very difficult.
