Abstract: Background/purpose: Sustainable development is a fundamental concern of today's economic and political world; therefore, several steps have been taken to promote sustainable development through students by implementing advanced and internationally accepted teaching pedagogies. Achieving the goals for sustainable development in universities is a central concern worldwide, especially when their students need to deal with cross-cultural communication. The inadequacies of existing frameworks of teaching pedagogies for students' sustainable development in cross-cultural communication are addressed by the UN Sustainable Development Goals for 2030. By proposing the establishment of an inclusive framework in the context of teaching pedagogies, the purpose of this paper is to explore students' sustainable development along with cross-cultural communication as a mediator. Materials/methods: A cross-sectional research design investigated the underlying mechanism of cross-cultural communication among students. Three hundred forty-two respondents were obtained from five universities in China at different academic levels; therefore, data analysis was performed using SmartPLS and SPSS. Results: It was identified that Chinese universities have unreasonable expectations regarding the sustainable development of teaching pedagogies for students studying in Chinese universities, making their career prospects unsustainable. Conclusion: The study validates the theoretical implications of the intercultural competency theory and social learning theory. Hitherto emphasizes the cultural competence training workshops for the teachers and faculty administrative staff for better student experiences and sustainable academic growth. The study's conclusions suggest that higher education institutions must develop a clear framework incorporating cultural competence programs for capacity building of their workforce elements to increase sustainability among national and international students.
