Digital Literacy Enhancement Strategies for International Chinese Education Students Empowered by Cross-Border E-Commerce Training Platforms

Abstract

Digital literacy has become a foundational competency for everyone in the digital age. International Chinese education is currently at a critical stage of transitioning from traditional to digital teaching. This study takes cross-border e-commerce training platforms as an entry point to explore feasible pathways for enhancing the digital literacy of students majoring in International Chinese Education. Through literature review and theoretical analysis, the study proposes a basic framework for integrating such platforms into the training of these students, and examines the relationships among platform functions, teaching activities, and literacy development. The findings indicate that these platforms can provide a near-real business environment, where students can practice digital tool usage, cross‑cultural communication, and data analysis through task completion. On this basis, the study offers specific recommendations from five aspects: curriculum design, platform optimization, teaching methods, teacher development, and evaluation mechanisms. The findings may serve as a reference for talent cultivation in International Chinese Education at finance and economics universities.
