Intercultural sensitivity represents one of the fundamental competencies that need to be cultivated in foreign language higher education to meet the demands of globalization. As a case in point, the cardinal goal of oral classes is to teach language for communication; hence, it is fundamental to prepare learners to be successful cross-cultural communicators who understand, respect, appreciate, and mediate across cultural diversity. Notwithstanding, this aim was found to be scarcely and unsystematically approached, if never, amongst first-year students of English at Mohamed Lamine Debaghine, Setif 2, Algeria. Therefore, to address this problem, this study purported to promote intercultural sensitivity by integrating critical incidents. To this end, a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest non-randomized control group research was undertaken through the lens of a mixed methods approach. In this respect, the primary sample of the study consisted of two intact classes, with 19 students serving as the control group and 20 students as the experimental group. Besides, to increase the reliability of the research findings, a replication quasi-experimental scrutiny was conducted with another sample. Ultimately, descriptive statistics revealed that the experimental group increased from moderate intercultural sensitivity to higher levels across the participants' performance on the pretest and posttest. In contrast, the levels of the control group remained statically moderate. Over and above, the inferential outcomes of the Mann-Whitney U test on the posttest performance exposed a significant difference in favor of the experimental group with a p-value of 0.000 at the probability level of α < 0.05. The positive effect of the treatment has been confirmed as an aftermath. Moreover, the students' intercultural role-plays offered an explanatory continuum to the developmental process of intercultural sensitivity. Accordingly, the primordial role of intercultural sensitivity in achieving appropriate and effective cross-cultural communication was revealed. Further, exploring the post-experimental perceptions outlined the speaking and listening gains as a corollary to incorporating critical incidents. An array of recommendations was delineated, mainly the necessity to integrate the intercultural dimension into the Algerian foreign language oral syllabi and instructional practices at higher education, wherein critical incidents constitute a promising tool to satisfy this end. It was further recommended to disclose the causality between critical incidents and two salient factors of intercultural sensitivity, namely respect for cultural differences and interaction engagement. |
