Abstract

Against the backdrop of normalized cross-cultural communication, foreign language teaching is inseparable from cultural integration. Yellow River culture is in urgent need of innovative approaches for inheritance and international dissemination, yet cross-border integration research between Yellow River culture and college Korean language teaching remains a blank in existing studies. Supported by relevant theories, this study constructs a three-dimensional integration mechanism of "Pedagogical Transformation of Cultural Content - Classroom Embedding - Practical Dissemination" to address the dilemmas of insufficient local cultural connotation in Korean teaching and a single carrier for Yellow River culture dissemination. The research confirms that the integration has dual values: it can improve teaching quality, empower cultural communication, and lay a foundation for Sino-Korean cultural exchanges. It also points out research limitations, proposes future directions, enriches relevant research, and provides a new path for the inheritance and dissemination of Yellow River culture.
