摘要：This paper presents a comprehensive examination of the application of cross-cultural education strategies within international schools and their critical role in fostering students’ global awareness. As international schools serve as a melting pot of diverse cultures, the research delves into the importance of cross-cultural education in preparing students to become global citizens. The study outlines the theoretical underpinnings of cross-cultural education, emphasizing the need for an inclusive curriculum that addresses cultural sensitivity and promotes international perspectives. Successful case studies, such as interdisciplinary projects and Model United Nations activities, are analyzed to understand their impact on students’ engagement and cross-cultural competencies. Challenges faced by schools, including resource limitations and cultural sensitivity, are discussed alongside potential solutions like enhanced teacher training and the use of technology. The paper also explores the assessment of students’ global awareness and the future development of cross-cultural education, considering the influence of
educational policies and technological advancements. The research concludes with policy implications and practical guidance for educators, advocating for a personalized approach to cross-cultural education that aligns with the needs of the globalized era.
