Extensive debates have been conducted around the construction logic of teaching models, the cultivation pathways of cross-cultural competence, and the adaptive cultivation of international talent literacy, and numerous important theoretical achievements have been made. At present, the innovation and practice of English teaching models from the perspective of cross-cultural communication have become the focus of research at home and abroad. Regarding overseas research on this issue, the mainstream view usually focuses on the in-depth integration of linguistic competence and cultural literacy, and the international adaptive transformation of teaching models. In China, however, research methods such as model reconstruction combined with local educational conditions, exploration of interdisciplinary integration cultivation pathways, and digital technology-empowered teaching reforms are more widely adopted. As Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology, relying on the international background of English teaching in the Philippines and the cooperation foundation of mutual recognition of higher education qualifications between China and the Philippines, exploring an English teaching model suitable for China-Philippines educational exchanges and international talent cultivation not only conforms to the global trend of educational internationalization but also can provide practical reference for cross-cultural talent cultivation between China and the Philippines. As a member of the International Association of Universities (IAU), Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology uses English as the main teaching language for its courses, and both dissertations and teaching materials are presented in English. This teaching foundation provides a natural linguistic environment and a practical carrier for the innovation of English teaching models oriented toward cross-cultural communication and international talent cultivation.
