Abstract:

 The aim of this paper is to explore critically the participants’ views regarding the integration of Internet-based activities and Intercultural education in the learning methods in order to promote greater understanding and acceptance of difference and otherness, as well as develop alternatives modes of providing our EFL learners with opportunities and techniques to improve their writing skills for more exposure to the present multicultural, multilingual, and multimedia learning environments. Our purpose is therefore, to stress on the imperative assessment of the students as EFL learners and as people meant to become intercultural writers, not only to be successful in communicating information, but in the way they express themselves in writing as well as in putting the principles of writing coherently in the front position. Therefore, implementing Internet-based activities and considering the intercultural dimensions in the EFL learning process are, according to us, adequate techniques which can help our learners develop genuine writing performances, being aware of their strengths and weaknesses in the aforementioned skill. This paper answers the following questions: 1-How can Intercultural dimensions help EFL learners become effective language users while writing? 2- What are the results and conclusions from Intercultural education and Internet-based activities project in promoting the EFL learners’ writing skills?.
