| dc.description.abstract | Culture and language are two sides of the same coin; teaching the latter automatically means teaching the former. Notwithstanding the importance of culture, it is usually being taught implicitly as decontextualized information. It has become important to have an intercultural knowledge, in the framework of which the learner knows not only one's culture but also the target one(s). This dissertation sheds light on the effect of using movie-clips as an instructional active learning technique on developing the EFL students' intercultural knowledge. In order to carry out this study, a quasi-experiment was conducted with pre-test and post-test design. The sample population is composed of two classes of first year students at the Department of English, University of Larbi Ben M'hidi. A total of 50 students were involved in this study. The experimental group was taught aspects of both the American and the British cultures by using movie-clips with instructions, linking these English speaking cultures with the Algerian culture. The control group was taught the same intercultural knowledge through conventional lecturing. Two culture quizzes were used as a pre-test and a post-test, respectively. The end results of the study show that the experimental group outperformed the control group. Some pedagogical implications were suggested accordingly. | ar |
