Abstract
The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of using a program based on mobile computer - supported collaborative learning (MCSCL) and social media applications in developing EFL creative reading skills and cultural awareness among student teachers at the Faculty of Education. The design of the study was a mixed research methodology. It combined both quantitative and qualitative methods of collecting data. The participants of the study were sixty (N= 60) students enrolled in third -year English section at the Faculty of Education, Benha University, Egypt. They were tested before and after the treatment. They were taught through using a program based on mobile computer -supported collaborative learning (MCSCL) and social media applications. The instruments of the study included an EFL creative reading skills test, an EFL cultural awareness scale and a semi-structured interview. The results of the study revealed a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the study participants in the pre and post administrations of the EFL creative reading skills test and cultural awareness scale in favor of the post administrations. These results were ascribed to mobile computer - supported collaborative learning (MCSCL) and social media applications.
