CROSS-CULTURAL PROJECT-BASED LEARNING: LINKING ENGLISH LANGUAGE ACQUISITION WITH BRITISH CULTURE

This article explores the theoretical framework and pedagogical advantages of incorporating British cultural studies into English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction through Project-Based Learning (PBL). Grounded in the principles of student-centered, interdisciplinary, and authentic learning, the study demonstrates how cross-cultural PBL enhances not only linguistic proficiency but also fosters intercultural competence and global citizenship awareness.The integration of British cultural elements—including national traditions, media, historical contexts, and social norms—provides meaningful learning contexts that boost student engagement while aligning with international standards for communicative and intercultural skills development. The paper outlines effective implementation strategies and addresses potential challenges educators may face.Ultimately, culture-infused PBL redefines English language acquisition as a comprehensive, socially relevant process that equips learners with practical skills for authentic intercultural communication.
