Based on the core concept of cultural integration, this paper explores the necessity and feasibility of deeply integrating language teaching and cultural dissemination in ICE. By analyzing current challenges such as superficial cultural presentation, monotonous teaching methods, and learners’ difficulties in cultural adaptation, it proposes innovative strategies including creating immersive cultural contexts, project-based cultural inquiry learning, digital empowerment for deepened cultural experience, localized selection of cultural content, and intercultural communication competence-oriented interactive teaching. The implementation pathways and expected outcomes are elaborated with case studies, aiming to provide theoretical references and practical guidance for ICE practitioners, promoting the shift from “language instrumentality” to “language-culture symbiosis”.
