Abstract

This paper aims to examine the effectiveness of incorporating English as a means of teaching the history of Algeria as a cultural component in English textbooks, as a way of enhancing the student’s linguistic and cultural competency. To achieve this aim, instructors in Algerian Southern provinces are asked to respond to a questionnaire created specifically for English-language secondary school teachers. The number of the teachers who responded to the questionnaire is thirteen (13) teachers. The study found that the majority of teachers have positive attitudes towards the efficiency of teaching historical facts about Algeria in English. Based on the findings, teaching the history of Algeria in English seems to be an addition to enhancing the learners’ skills in improving their knowledge about the history of the country's culture. This study is directed to the officials, syllabus designers, teachers, and supervisors to consider inserting historical topics about Algeria in English textbooks to enhance both the student’s linguistic and intercultural knowledge. Keywords: Culture; EFL Class; history; intercultural competence; teaching.
