In this study, both control and experimental groups included 80 language learners (each group 40). The control group was given the questionnaires, pre- and post-tests along with the experimental group. Then, extracurricular activities were given to the experimental group which itself was divided into four mini groups. 10 participants were asked to prepare a self-video clip each week (4 clips as whole). Another group of 10 testees were asked to use social networks such as Facebook, What’s app, Telegram and the likes chatting with native speakers at least two hours a day involving themselves in English practice after taking pre-test and they were also given the subsequent post-test after a month.

The author come to the conclusion that culture-related extra-curricular activities result in the enhancement of the level of language proficiency as well as contribute a lot to bringing up citizens, intellectually, culturally and multi-culturally developed professionals with deep awareness of intercultural values.

Si nous admettons avec W. von Humboldt que toute langue confère au sujet une vision du monde qui lui est propre, il semble évident que s’approprier une nouvelle langue influe sur la perception, c’est-à-dire la manière d’organiser et de dire les choses. S’approprier une nouvelle langue permettrait donc d’élargir ou d’approfondir d’une certaine manière la subjectivité du locuteur i.e. au sens d’unicité subjective – tout en augmentant les signes dans le discours de subjectivité discursive. Mais en quel sens cette subjectivité se trouve-t-elle modifiée par l’apprentissage d’une autre langue ? Si cette déduction semble tomber sous les sens, ses manifestations dans l’acte de langage, perceptibles uniquement dans les énoncés, paraissent difficilement identifiables. Nous analysons donc, le lien entre la langue et la cognition qui nous permet de situer le sujet non plus dans l’immanence de la langue, mais en-deçà de la langue ; dans la cognition. Cette approche nous permettra également de jeter un nouveau regard sur la subjectivité d’un locuteur lorsqu’il s’approprie une autre langue, et de déterminer les différents stades de son appropriation de la langue in fieri.
