Vocational Foreign Language Education for the Belt and Road: A Study of Ceramic Culture Communication through Exhibitions

The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has created new opportunities for international cooperation, cultural exchange, and economic development. Among its various components, vocational foreign language education (VFLE) plays a crucial role in facilitating communication and cultural diplomacy, particularly through sectors like the ceramic industry. This paper explores how vocational foreign language education can enhance the communication of ceramic culture through international exhibitions. By focusing on the integration of vocational education with cultural and linguistic skills, the study examines how exhibitions can serve as platforms for promoting Chinese ceramic art globally while providing vocational students with the necessary language skills for international engagement. The paper proposes an educational framework that connects foreign language teaching with industry needs, aiming to empower students to actively participate in cultural exchange and global trade.
