Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of using a suggested program based on intercultural communicative approach in developing intensive reading skills and critical cultural awareness of English majors at Faculty of Education, New Valley University. The quasi-experimental design, one-group pretest-posttest, was adopted in the present study. Thirty-five students (35) from second year English majors were chosen to participate in the experiment. Instruments of the study included a test of intensive reading skills and a test of critical cultural awareness. In addition, a suggested program based on the intercultural communicative approach was designed, validated and carried out. Results showed that using the suggested program significantly improved the study group’s intensive reading skills and critical cultural awareness. Based on the results, the study recommended the integration of intercultural communicative approach in ELT.
