1、 Introduction

Since its establishment in 1883, the French Union has become the world's first organization dedicated to the international dissemination of language and culture, with 829 branches established in 135 countries and regions worldwide. In recent years, the French Language Alliance has actively promoted the development of digital teaching. In 2020, online education achieved a growth rate of 768%, and 73% of teaching alliances offered online courses. The policy promotion and strategic deployment of the French government provide macro background and policy support for the digital teaching of the French Language Alliance. The "Alliance Network 2020 Modernization Plan" launched in 2015 explicitly prioritizes the digitization of teaching. Global French speaking universities collaborate to promote the sharing and dissemination of digital resources in the French language. The academic community has conducted extensive and in-depth research on the operational strategies, cross-cultural management, regional development, and comparison of global language and cultural communication institutions of the French Language Alliance. However, there is a slight lack of research in the key field of digital teaching. In depth research on the digital teaching of the French Language Alliance can help reveal its successful path and strategies for addressing challenges in digital transformation, provide reference and inspiration for other language and cultural communication institutions, and promote the digital and diversified development of global language education.
