Study on the Significance of Integrating Chinese Traditional Culture into College English Teaching

Driven by the tide of globalization, cultural exchange has become a pervasive global phenomenon, with its significance continuously escalating. Benefiting from the Chinese government’s implementation of the 144-hour transit visa policy, China’s traditional culture has garnered widespread attention from the international community. Against this backdrop, college students, as the main force in cultural dissemination, face the critical challenge of maintaining cultural confidence and actively promoting China’s unique and outstanding culture in cross-cultural communication, which has become a key issue that higher education, especially English teaching, urgently needs to address. This paper, through an in-depth analysis of relevant policies and a study of the issue of cultural aphasia, emphasizes the necessity of integrating China’s traditional culture into college English teaching. This integration is not only crucial for strengthening students’ cultural confidence and sense of responsibility but also significantly contributes to broadening their international perspective and enhancing their cross-cultural communication skills.
