In an interconnected world, philological research and language instruction are essential in developing intercultural competence and resilience among global citizens. Philology offers insights into linguistic and cultural evolution, while language instruction enables practical cross-cultural communication. Together, they empower students to navigate cultural diversity with adaptability and empathy. Higher education institutions play a critical role by creating environments for these skills to thrive, preparing students for effective global engagement. This essay explores the impact of philology and language learning on fostering open-minded, resilient individuals ready to address complex global challenges.
