Abstract

Abstract This study addresses the embodiment of the intercultural dimension through an interculturally-based syllabus. A quasi-experiment was conducted on a sample of 66 English as a foreign language second-year students at Sheikh Larbi Tebessi University during the academic year 2022-2023. The control and the experiment groups received a pre and a post-test to examine students’ Intercultural Communicative Competence development. The results revealed that implementing an ethnocentric-based intercultural syllabus was effective in developing Algerian EFL learners’ ICC. In light of the key findings, recommendations are, hence, advanced. Résumé Cette étude aborde l'incarnation de la dimension interculturelle à travers un programme basé sur l'interculturel. Une quasi-expérience a été menée sur un échantillon de 66 étudiants d'anglais comme langue étrangère en 2022-2023. Les groupes de contrôle et d’expérimentation ont reçu un pré et un post-test pour examiner le développement des compétences communicatives interculturelles. Les résultats ont révélé que la mise en œuvre d’un programme interculturel ethnocentrique était efficace pour développer la CCI des apprenants algériens de l’EFL. Des recommandations sont donc avancées.
