In the context of the implementation of the "Belt and Road" strategy, with the deepening of globalization, the educational cooperation between China and its member countries is increasing steadily, which has gradually formed an upsurge of cultural exchange that cannot be ignored. An increasing number of foreign students choose to study in China, and their demand for bilingual textbooks also grows accordingly. In order to gain a deeper understanding of the necessity of CLIL bilingual (Chinese-English) teaching materials for international students in China, a qualitative study is conducted by designing a comprehensive questionnaire. The research results show that bilingual professional textbooks can effectively meet the academic needs of international students in the dual language background of Chinese and English, make international students feel more confident in dealing with course materials and life problems, help them overcome the academic and psychological pressure brought by the language barrier, and enhance the understanding and respect of different cultures to promote cultural exchange and integration.
