Language and culture are informally integrated in many English as an Additional Language (EAL) programs, but cultural discussions are often regarded from the perspective of a particular dominant culture. Although this integration is crucial for the development of communicative competence, practical applications are still challenging as language teachers tend to know more about linguistic items than cultural aspects (Celce-Murcia, 2007). This article describes a digital literacy project implemented with language learners in an adult EAL program. Using Bennett’s (1993) DMIS model for intercultural sensitivity, the project invited international students and newcomers to Canada to explore and expand on their understanding of intercultural relationships while studying in a multicultural EAL class. The learners engaged in 5 steps to complete the project (reflective discussion, script writing, video recording scenes, editing, and final reflection), with a short movie serving as the digital product. The digital literacy project is proposed as a potential tool for integrating intercultural sensitivity into EAL programs and engaging learners in discussions about diversity in cultural values, beliefs, and behaviours as a way to affirm their cultural and intercultural identities. Alors que plusieurs programmes d’anglais langue additionnelle (ALA) integrent informellement la langue et la culture, les discussions portant sur la culture adoptent souvent le point de vue d’une culture dominante particuliere. Bien que cette integration soit cruciale pour le developpement de la competence com municative, les applications pratiques demeurent un probleme de taille puisque les enseignants de langue ont generalement plus de connaissances relatives a la langue qu’a la culture (Celce-Murcia, 2007). Cet article decrit un projet d’initiation au numerique mis en œuvre aupres d’apprenants adultes dans un programme d’ALA. S’appuyant sur le modele DMIS de Bennett (1993) de sensibilite interculturelle, le projet visait a encourager des etudiants internationaux et des nouveaux arrivants au Canada a approfondir leurs connaissances des rapports interculturels tout en poursuivant leur apprentissage dans une classe d’ALA multiculturelle. Les etudiants ont suivi les 5 demarches du projet (discussion de reflexion, redaction de scenarios, enregistrement video de scenes, edition et reflexion finale) pour arriver a la production d’un court-metrage. Nous proposons ce projet d’initiation au numerique comme outil pouvant appuyer l’integration de la sensibilite interculturelle dans les programmes d’ALA et inciter les etudiants a discuter de diversite en matiere de valeurs, croyances et comportements culturels afin d’affirmer leurs identites culturelles et interculturelles.
