Developing an intercultural literacy framework for university students holds significance in evaluating their intercultural proficiency and advancing the efficacy of intercultural education to bolster their global competitiveness. Utilizing Daladierdorff's intercultural competence model as a foundational reference, this study systematically reconstructed competence components to formulate a tailored intercultural literacy model for university students. Subsequently, the model's validity was rigorously examined through exploratory and validation factor analyses, culminating in establishing a robust intercultural literacy framework for university students. This framework provides valuable guidance for subsequent educational initiatives and policy implementations.
