ABSTRACT

In the context of globalization, English has emerged as a pivotal tool for international communication, driven by its widespread adoption in cross-border trade, cultural exchange, and diplomatic interactions. Concurrently, traditional culture, as a nation's unique cultural symbol, has garnered increasing attention for its application in English education. Integrating traditional culture into middle school English teaching not only enriches students' linguistic competence but also addresses the cultural homogenization risks posed by globalization. This paper focus enhances students' English knowledge systems while fostering a deeper sense of identity with their heritage, thereby cultivating cultural confidence and mitigating the psychological and educational impacts of cultural imperialism. Practically, this integration involves designing curricula that interweave traditional festivals, idioms, and values with language skills, promoting cross-cultural dialogue and mutual understanding. The strategies not only reinforce students' grasp of English but also nurture critical thinking and ethical values aligned with sustainable development goals. This paper explores innovative teaching methodologies, including localized content development, interdisciplinary activities, and technology-aided cultural immersion, to bridge linguistic proficiency and cultural literacy. By emphasizing the symbiotic relationship between language and culture, the study aims to contribute to educational practices that empower students as both global communicators and custodians of their cultural legacy.
