dc.description.abstract | The current study is interested in the issue of teaching the Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC), and integrating the teaching of culture in the University of Chadli Bendjdid, EFL classrooms using comic strips as a type of graphic narratives. As a matter of fact, many researches already exist concerning the importance of teaching culture and implementing it in the EFL courses in order to build students‟ Intercultural Communication (IC) skills. Neither teachers nor students can deny the significant relationship that relates language to culture and communication; however, they seem to be ignoring this fact by focusing on teaching the language as an end forgetting to focus on its actual goal which is IC. Thus, a quasi-experiment was conducted with 35 first year EFL students of Chadli Benjdid University. They had a pre-test, treatment using comics, then a post test. Other data collection tool as used which is the questionnaire. It was addressed to 59 first year EFL students. These tools were advocated to collect the needed data in order to answer the research questions” does reading comics help enhancing students‟ICC? “, and “what is students‟ perception towards using comics as a didactic tool?” The data of the pre/post test were quantitatively analysed, and the findings showed that the students‟ level of ICC was enhanced after being exposed to comics. The students‟ knowledge, attitude, skill, and awareness were remarkably improved. The data of the questionnaire was also analysed in a quantitative way; the findings revealed that students show a positive perception towards comics, and most of them believe that they can be a good didactic support to teach ICC. Consequently, these findings answered the research questions by validating the hypothesis. Comics can be used as effective tool to teach culture to EFL students since they showed a big interest in using this creative artistic literacy. The last part of the research mentioned a set of implementations to students, teachers, syllabus designers, and policy makers in order to make the needed changes in order to facilitate the process of learning and mastering the intercultural communicative competence skills for EFL students in Chadli Bendjdid University. Standing on the findings of this study, some researchable points were mentioned as recommendations for further researches to pave the way towards making the University a place where students are allowed to enjoy learning the needed knowledge of intercultural communication. | |
