Abstract:
The work is done through conducting an experimental
design carried out through setting a sample of 20 students who have been selected randomly
from the department of English at Mohammed Seddik Ben Yahia University Jijel. The
experiment concerns a pre-test and a post-est. The research work departs from hypothesizing
that chatting with the native speakers of English would enhance intercultural communicative
competence of EFL learners if they managed to displace themselves to a medium culture that
is, neither their culture nor the target culture. The hypothesis has been formulated on the basis
of the question as to whether chatting native speakers of English develops intercultural
communicative competence or not
