Ltd.10.26689/jcer.v9i6.10886ArticleA Survey Research on the Current Status of the Integration of Qinghai’s Regional Culture into College English Instructionhttps://artdesignp.com/journal/JCER/9/6/10.26689/jcer.v9i6.10886ZhangWenjing2025962025-06-30Language learning and cultural communication are inherently intertwined and mutually reinforcing. In the context of college English instruction, emphasizing “telling China’s stories well” aligns with the principles of foreign language education and inevitably promotes cultural exchange and mutual understanding across different cultures through foreign language learning. Many researchers have explored ways of cultivating students’ ability to communicate Chinese stories and spread Chinese culture in English. However, a few studies have been performed on exploring paths of incorporating regional culture into English language education. In particular, incorporating Qinghai’s indigenous cultural resources into college English teaching practice is rare. Therefore, a survey was conducted to ascertain the present situation concerning integrating Qinghai’s regional culture into college English teaching practice at Qinghai University. Based on the data from the survey, the present study discusses the results and implications obtained during the present teaching process and probes into practical strategies for the infiltration of Qinghai’s regional culture into college English teaching from the dimensions of curriculum, teaching materials, approaches, teachers’ professional development, and teaching evaluation, intending to achieve the goals of language teaching and cultural education in the college English course.
