ABSTRACT

This paper aims to explore the necessity of integrating cultural elements in English reading instruction and to study the role of cross-cultural reading in enhancing learners' English reading abilities. Through a review of relevant literature, it was found that incorporating cultural elements in the language learning process aids in enhancing students' understanding of context, thus better understanding and utilizing the language. Additionally, the practice of cross-cultural reading encourages students to step beyond the confines of language, expand their thinking, and strengthen their cultural awareness. Through empirical analysis, this study aims to provide beneficial insights and guidance for English reading instruction.
