Summary:CULTURE PLAYS AN ESSENTIAL ROLE IN USING EFFICIENTLY FOREIGN LANGUAGES, ESPECIALLY NOWADAYS, IN THE ERA OF GLOBALISATION. THUS, THE PROCESS OF TEACHING/ LEARNING FOREIGN LANGUAGES SHOULD TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE MULTICULTURAL ENVIRONMENTS AND ACHIEVING THE INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION SHOULD BE ONE OF ITS MAJOR OBJECTIVES. AFTER CEAUSESCU’S ELECTION AS A GENERAL SECRETARY OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY, ROMANIA ENTERS A PERIOD OF LIBERALISATION AND, AS A CONSEQUENCE, AMONG OTHER BENEFITS, ROMANIAN STUDENTS BEGAN TO STUDY FOREIGN LANGUAGES (ENGLISH, GERMAN, FRENCH, SPANISH) AS SCHOOLS SUBJECTS. FOREIGN LANGUAGES TEXTBOOKS PUBLISHED IN ROMANIA DURING COMMUNISM CONTAINED A GREAT DEAL OF IDEOLOGICAL ELEMENTS AND TRIED TO EXALT THE REGIME. THE TEXTBOOKS OF SPANISH (L2) ANALYSED HERE CONTAIN A WIDE RANGE OF CULTURAL ASPECTS, BUT THE MOST PART OF THEM REFER TO ROMANIA (HISTORY, ECONOMIC ACHIEVEMENTS, NATURAL BEAUTIES), WHILE THE REFERENCES TO THE SPANISH SPEAKING WORLD ARE LESS, DUE TO THE CENSORSHIP. SO CULTURE AND TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGES BECAME INSTRUMENTS OF THE COMMUNIST PROPAGANDA, THAT INSISTED ON THE INDUSTRIALISATION, ROMANIAN NATIONAL IDENTITY, PATRIOTISM, GLORIOUS PAST AND BRIGHT PRESENT
