Abstract
Many faculties in Algerian Universities agree on the fact that the implementation of the new LMD curricula is still in progress and in continuous mutations due to the additional challenges in terms of university infrastructure, pedagogical needs and most relevant resources for students to better achieve the LMD outcomes. In this research we summarized data gathered on implementation of a new teaching model that goes in the direction of the LMD curriculum, regarding the teaching of the Module of Oral Expression through a tested-model that integrates the cultural aspects of the English Language, including Cross-Cultural Communication with a specific ICT (Information and Communication Technology) tool named DVC (Digital Video Conference) to effectively enhance students‟ English fluency. This study also reveals the positive impact of the Cross Cultural interaction on students‟ fluency at the department of English at Batna University, in Algeria. Globally the findings confirmed the hypothesis that states that effective improvement of oral expression may be better achieved if cross-cultural communication with native speakers of English via Digital Video Conferencing series is adopted as a supporting means
