This paper presents a comparative analysis of the similarities and differences of foreign French textbooks, focusing on the differences between the two in terms of content writing, interest, vocabulary and grammar, and cultural integration. Although domestic textbooks can meet the needs of exam-oriented education, it is difficult to stimulate interest or improve practical application ability. On the contrary, foreign textbooks emphasize novel and interesting content, use rich multimedia resources to promote students independent and active learning, and show the social and cultural background of French-speaking countries. Through these analyses, combined with the difficulties faced by beginner learners of French, especially in terms of speaking ability and practical communication, it is hoped that they can help students better master French and realize an effective interface with the culture of French-speaking countries. May this thesis provide useful reference for the reform and development of domestic French teaching materials and promote the further improvement of French teaching.
