Abstract

This study explores the impact of cultural integration on students' learning motivation in the context of international Chinese education, drawing from the perspective of cross-cultural communication. By combining theoretical analysis with practical cases, it examines how cultural integration can enhance learning engagement, self-efficacy, and value perception, thereby stimulating intrinsic motivation. The findings reveal that appropriate cultural integration reduces psychological distance, strengthens cultural affiliation, and increases the attractiveness and sustainability of language learning. Additionally, it reflects on the superficial treatment of cultural content in teaching and proposes diversified and personalized strategies to promote the comprehensive development of language and culture.
