Cultural confidence is one of the"four self-confidences"of socialism with Chinese characteris-tics.In the era of globalization,English teaching should emphasize the fusion of practicality and culture to nur-ture students'confidence and pride.This paper advocates for the deep integration of cultural confidence into university English classroom instruction,aligning with national strategies,societal needs,and students'personal development.It examines the challenges faced in university English teaching within the context of cultural con-fidence,including Western-centric textbooks,students'Internet-driven influences,and teachers'limited tradi-tional cultural knowledge.To empower young students with strong cultural self-confidence in English educa-tion,the paper suggests strategies for incorporating Chinese cultural elements,leveraging digital resources,and enhancing teachers'overall proficiency.
