Abstract
Teaching the English language with its culture has been an issue of debate since it is related to promoting an intercultural speaker in this multicultural world. Indeed, achieving this goal requires cultural knowledge, attitudes, and awareness to take place in the classroom with the use of appropriate approaches, models, and strategies. Previous studies that are based on traditional instructions indicate that there is a missing part in the cultural materials used in the classroom. The factors mentioned above bring about serious cultural issues such as stereotypes, prejudice, and even the lack of cultural awareness. For this reason, this study investigates the effect of exposure to culture through the culture triangle model on students’ cultural awareness. In this research, a census is divided into two groups. Each group receives a different treatment: A culture triangle model (3Ps) is used with the experimental group, and a thematic approach is used with the control group. Data are compiled from pre and post-questionnaires to reveal the students’ attitudes towards various culture-related items, from pre and post-tests to detect the effect of this model on students’ level of cultural awareness. The results from the questionnaires and the tests indicate that this model developed positive cognitive, affective, and behavioral attitudes. Moreover, the culture triangle model enhanced students’ cultural awareness. It is recommended that the curriculum necessitate reinvigoration in order to cope with 21st-century skills. Therefore, the Civilization and Culture of Language module needs to comply with the same cultural elements that the nature of the culture triangle model offers.
