Abstract: Integrating local culture into oral English teaching for English majors enhances students' cross-cultural communication skills and cultural identity. This study focuses on Sichuan local culture, exploring its value and application in oral English teaching. Through literature review and empirical analysis, it examines the characteristics of Sichuan culture and its integration with oral English, proposing strategies for teaching material design, teacher training, and practice. The findings show that incorporating local culture improves students’ interest, oral skills, cultural confidence, and cross-cultural competence, offering a new approach to localized English education.
