Cross-cultural education (CCE) is an emerging topic that is an essential contributor to the success of student learning in today's global society. The term CCE itself is a concept that enables individuals of different backgrounds to become aware of their own culture and others, encouraging effective interaction and communication, which promotes a successful learning environment. This research identifies best practices for improving cultural awareness and competence in the classroom. The study systematically examined information from the existing literature to determine best practices and trends. Additionally, this study surveyed library and information science (LIS) educators to examine real-world applications and practices of CCE in LIS curricula. The outcome of the study includes a CCE framework that identifies considerations for CCE preparation, instructional design, engagement and interaction, and the measurement of success. The study provides practical support for LIS educators in developing cross-cultural curricula that enhance the students’ learning experience and academic success.
