A new instructional model needs to find its way to be applied at university-level, the flipped classroom model.This study is meant to explore students’ perceptions of using this strategy in teaching British and American civilizations course in the English Department at Barika University Center to ensure first-year learners’ understanding of the target culture, and awareness of cultural products, behaviors, and ideas.The study at hand is carried out through a descriptive method.The method of sampling in this study is the census since the whole population took part in this investigation. Forty (40) students were asked to answer a questionnaire that is related to both, the flipped strategy and cultural awareness.The results evinced a positive attitude towards using the flipped classroom in the culture and civilization module.Enseigner l'anglais en tant que langue étrangère a toujours besoin de s’appuyer sur les avancées de la didactique des langues étrangères. En effet, pour pouvoir aboutir à un enseignement efficace dans un contexte où l’anglais est langue étrangère, il faudra s’assurer de la participation active des étudiants. Ainsi, nous pensons que le modèle de la classe inversée devrait être mis en place au niveau universitaire. Cette étude vise à explorer les représentations qu’ont les étudiants du département d’anglais (Centre Universitaire de Barika) de la mise en place de ce modèle. Notre recherche se base sur l’hypothèse selon laquelle la mise en œuvre de ce modèle d’enseignement permettrait aux apprenants de première année de mieux appréhender la culture cible et de se conscientiser davantage des conceptions, des produits et des comportements culturels véhiculés par la langue anglaise. L’étude a été réalisée au moyen d’une méthode descriptive. Nous avons procédé par enquête à laquelle ont participé quarante (40) apprenants. Cette enquête par questionnaire dont les interrogations portent à la fois sur la stratégie inversée et sur la sensibilisation à la culture, a révélé, d’une manière générale, une attitude positive à l'égard du modèle de la classe inversée dans le module Culture et civilisation

This series will feature critical and interpretive, disciplinary and multidisciplinary perspectives on teaching and learning, language and literacy in new times.

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.
Keywords: cultural knowledge, cultural awareness, culture triangle model, students’ attitudes.
