Abstract
As a global lingua franca, English has reshaped the pathways for the dissemination of ethnic cultures through its educational resource system. This paper, based on UNESCO language extinction data, global cultural product market share statistics, and speciffc educational practice cases, reveals the dual role of English educational resources in promoting the global dissemination of ethnic cultures: it facilitates cultural exports through standardized curricula, digital technology platforms, and international educational collaborations, while also posing risks of cultural homogenization due to linguistic hegemony. The study proposes a "Dynamic Equilibrium Model," emphasizing the need for sustainable dissemination of ethnic cultural values through localized curriculum development, multilingual education policies, and cultural feedback mechanisms.
