Abstract
The current study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of an instructional program based on sociolinguistic principles in improving tenth-grade EFL female students’ attitudes towards acquiring English culture in Jordan during the academic year 2021-2022. The study followed the quasi-experimental approach. Fifty tenth-grade female students participated in this study distributed into two sections. The two sections were randomly chosen; one section (n=25) was assigned to represent the experimental group, while the other section (n=25) was assigned to represent the control group. A four-item Likert attitudes scale, that covered three dimensions regarding the students’ attitudes towards acquiring English culture, was also developed to be presented before and after the treatment to both the experimental and control groups. Data were analyzed using (SPSS) package (i.e., means and standard deviations, ANCOVA and MANCOVA). The results showed that the instructional program based on sociolinguistic principles was significantly more effective than the conventional method in developing Jordanian tenth-grade EFL female students’ attitudes towards acquiring English culture. The study recommended that EFL curricula planners may emphasize the sociolinguistic principles in developing teachers’ manuals and students’ teaching materials to promote EFL students’ attitudes towards acquiring English culture in Jordan.
