Abstract

The current research aims at assessing the availability of ICT tools in the teaching and learning of EFL culture at the Department of English, Constantine 1 Frères Mentouri University. It also aims at investigating the actual use of ICT resources by the teachers and the students for enhancing the students’ cultural literacy. The three basic research questions raised in the present investigation are the following: What ICT tools are available for teaching and learning EFL culture at the Department of English, Constantine 1 Frères Mentouri University? How are ICT resources actually used by the teachers under study for enhancing their students’ cultural literacy? How are ICTs actually used by the students under investigation in their learning of EFL culture? A descriptive research design, using a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, has been adopted in this investigation. As regards the instruments employed for collecting data, two questionnaires were administered to the teachers and students under study. The findings of the study have revealed that there is very limited availability of ICT tools in the teaching and learning of EFL culture at the aforementioned department. The ICTs available at the targeted department include only computers, multimedia projectors, printers and photocopiers. More strikingly, such tools are not all accessible to the teachers and the students. Results have also demonstrated that there is lack of competence on the part of the teachers and the students in the use of ICT resources for fostering the students’ cultural literacy. Based on such results, a number of recommendations are put forward to address the shortcomings spotted in the current area. It is stressed that ICT facilities be increased and varied in the teaching and learning of EFL culture at the Department of English, Constantine 1 Frères Mentouri University. Furthermore, the teachers and the students should reflect on their use of such technology-mediated resources for better development of EFL cultural literacy in the Algerian university context.
