Abstract
Abstract:
This study examines Algerian EFL teachers' perceptions of integrating technology
to develop Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC) in civilisation courses at Mila
University Centre. A quantitative survey was administered to 45 teachers purposively
selected based on their teaching experience. The questionnaire employed validated scales
measuring technology perceptions, ICC teaching beliefs, and implementation challenges.
Findings revealed positive attitudes toward the role of technology in ICC development, with
digital storytelling and virtual cultural exchanges being rated as the most effective.
Statistical analyses, including correlation and regression procedures, revealed significant
relationships between teachers' perceptions of technology and their teaching beliefs.
However, significant barriers included inadequate technological infrastructure, limited
professional training opportunities, and time constraints. The study emphasizes the
importance of comprehensive professional development programs, enhanced technological
infrastructure, and supportive institutional policies to advance technology-mediated
instruction in ICC in Algerian higher education settings.
