Globalization has profoundly influenced cultural identity and communication, particularly in foreign language education. This study explores how learners and educators navigate cultural integration, identity shifts, and communication challenges in a globalized educational environment. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews and thematic analysis, revealing two key findings: first, globalization facilitates cultural exchange but may lead to cultural identity negotiation or loss among learners; second, global communication norms influence classroom interactions, sometimes clashing with traditional cultural expectations. The study also identifies barriers such as linguistic misunderstandings and ethnocentric biases while highlighting facilitators like intercultural competence training and inclusive curriculum design. The findings suggest that balancing global and local cultural perspectives in language education is essential for fostering meaningful cross-cultural communication. Ultimately, this research emphasizes the need for pedagogical strategies that respect cultural diversity while preparing learners for global citizenship.
