Abstract
In the contemporary era of globalization, language learning is subject to a multitude of dynamic influences, encompassing cultural, linguistic, and technological spheres. This study investigated the role of English language education in promoting international cultural exchange and forming a global value consensus. Conducted at Beanstalk International Bilingual School in Beijing, China, the research employed a mixed-methods approach, incorporating both quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews. The findings revealed generally positive views on the role of English language education in promoting cultural exchange and forming a global value consensus. Participants expressed their firm belief that English education helps them connect with individuals from different cultures and enhances their understanding of customs and traditions. Educators highlighted their strategies for incorporating cultural themes into various subjects, facilitating collaborative projects with international partner schools, and encouraging student-led presentations on cultural backgrounds. Student focus groups emphasized the positive impact of such activities as fostering empathy and understanding with people from diverse backgrounds, while acknowledging initial anxieties and communication challenges that diminished over time. In conclusion, this study suggests that English language education can play a significant role in promoting international cultural exchange and forming a global value consensus.
