Against this backdrop, how to seamlessly integrate cross-cultural communication into teaching activities has been a focal point for junior high school English teachers. This paper delves into three primary significances of permeating and fusing cross-cultural communication in junior high school English teaching: fostering deeper language learning among students, cultivating their cultural awareness, and elevating their overall qualities. It proposes specific strategies such as introducing cultural backgrounds, employing comparative association and expansion, and utilizing multimedia resources to rejuvenate vocabulary learning and make it less tedious. Furthermore, in reading instruction, the paper advocates for measures including optimizing textbooks to explore relevant elements and simulating communicative scenarios to permeate and integrate cross-cultural communication, thereby effectively enhancing students’ English communicative competence and fostering the development of their comprehensive English literacy.
