Journal: Region - Educational Research and Reviews DOI: 10.32629/rerr.v7i4.3885
Abstract
In the era of digital intelligence, cultivating international communication literacy (ICL) has become a key goal
for foreign language universities, aligning with global discourse competitiveness and national strategies. This study
explores an innovative teaching model that integrates AI-assisted translation, big data analytics, and intelligent content
generation to enhance students’ cross-cultural communication competence, media literacy, and discourse abilities. Through
a qualitative case study, the findings reveal that a multi-dimensional, technology-driven approach fosters adaptive
international communicators by bridging linguistic and technological competencies. The study contributes to higher
education reform by proposing the Four-Dimensional Integration Model (FDIM), which integrates teaching goals, content, methods, and assessment to optimize ICL cultivation.
