Bilingualism plays a crucial role in language teaching as it not only enhances linguistic proficiency but also fosters the development of cross-cultural competence. This article delves into the multifaceted benefits of bilingualism in language education and explores how it contributes to a deeper understanding and appreciation of diverse cultures. Drawing from literature analysis and empirical evidence, it provides insights into effective methods for incorporating bilingualism into language teaching and discusses the implications for cultivating cross-cultural competence among learners.
