- 1 Chongqing Shapingba District Teacher Training College, Chongqing, China
Abstract
In the context of the era of globalization, the international understanding literacy of teachers is crucial for cultivating students with a global perspective. However, there are certain deficiencies among primary and secondary school teachers in areas such as international vision, cross-cultural communication, teaching content, and professional development. This study aims to deeply analyze the causes of these issues and propose practical countermeasures and suggestions. By strengthening international vision education, providing cross-cultural communication training, integrating international teaching content, increasing professional development opportunities, establishing a support system, and reforming the evaluation system, the international literacy of teachers can be effectively improved. This will promote the comprehensive development of students and contribute to building an open, inclusive, and interconnected world.
