ABSTRACT

In the context of the global prevalence of English, integrating local culture into university English teaching is crucial to enhance students' intercultural communication skills and cultural identity. This paper analyzes the current challenges in integrating local culture, such as imbalanced textbook content, monotonous teaching methods, inadequate teacher qualifications, one-dimensional evaluation systems, and insufficient cross-cultural practice. It proposes targeted strategies across five dimensions: textbook optimization, teaching method innovation, teacher capacity building, evaluation system refinement, and enhanced cross-cultural practice. These strategies aim to facilitate the effective integration of local culture in university English education, enabling students to master English while promoting the inheritance and dissemination of local culture.
