Abstract: The general objective of this research is to explore how cultural frameworks shape language education, emphasizing the integration of cultural content in curricula, pedagogical strategies, and its impact on learners’ intercultural competence and identity formation. Utilizing a systematic review methodology aligned with PRISMA 2009 guidelines, peer-reviewed journal articles from ERIC, Taylor & Francis, and ScienceDirect databases published between 2020-2024 were analyzed. The research addresses two key problems: firstly, determining effective pedagogical strategies to integrate cultural content into language curricula to enhance learners’ intercultural competence while respecting cultural sensitivities, and secondly, understanding how integrating cultural frameworks influences learners’ identity formation, language proficiency, and intercultural awareness. The findings indicate that culturally responsive teaching significantly enhances student engagement, intercultural competence, and identity formation, despite challenges such as limited teacher training and potential reinforcement of stereotypes. The study concludes that integrating culturally inclusive frameworks in language education curricula is vital for developing learners’ intercultural competence, necessitating continuous educator training and carefully designed culturally inclusive materials.
