Abstract The present study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of using an e-program in culture based on multimodality in developing Faculty of Education English majors’ intercultural competence and critical thinking. Seventy students were selected from third-year English majors at the Faculty of Education, Minia University. They were randomly divided into two groups: an experimental group and a control one. The experimental group was taught using the e-program in culture based on multimodality, while the control group received conventional instruction. The pre-testing and post-testing means of collecting data were submitted to the experimental and the control groups. The instruments of the study included an intercultural competence test and a critical thinking test. Results of the study revealed that there was a statistically significant difference (favoring the experimental group) between mean scores obtained by the experimental and the control groups on the post-testing of the intercultural competence test and the critical thinking test. The study concluded that the e-program in culture had a positive and high effectiveness on developing students’ intercultural competence and critical thinking. Discussion of the findings, recommendations, and suggestions for further research were presented. Key Words: Multimodality, Culture, Intercultural Competence, Critical Thinking. |
