Abstract
This paper systematically sorts out the practical dilemmas of integrating Rizhao Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) into foreign language education for international communication, and analyzes the underlying root causes of these problems. Based on the potential of international communication and the integration degree of foreign language education, 8 representative Rizhao ICH items are selected to construct a closed-loop communication path adapted to local realities. The research aims to provide implementable practical references for the living inheritance of Rizhao I Heritage, the connotation construction of foreign language teaching in local universities, and the overseas communication of rural culture, as well as offer ideas for similar cities to integrate ICH with foreign language education and boost rural cultural revitalization.
