Abstract
The present study is geared to investigate the effect of using a training program in small ”c” American culture on developing first year secondary school students’ cultural awareness and critical reading comprehension skills. Subjects of the study consisted of 180 students: 90 at Mallawy Secondary School for Boys and 90 at Mallawy Secondary School for Girls. Subjects in each school were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups (45 experimental & 45 control). The experimental group received instruction in small ”c” American culture, while the control group received no such instruction. Tools of the study included a training program in small ”c” American culture, the cultural awareness test, and the critical reading comprehension test. The analysis of data using ANOVA and ANCOVA revealed that the experimental group significantly surpassed the control group in the post-performance on the two tests of the study. Discussion of these findings, recommendations, and suggestions for further studies were presented
