With the deepening of international exchanges, foreign language education has become an important component of higher education in China. The cultivation of foreign language talents is directly related to various aspects such as national economy, social development, international relations, cultural exchange, and personal employment. Foreign language education in universities has unique characteristics and development laws. In the process of development, it is mainly influenced by factors such as the international situation and national policies. Currently, promoting the sustainable development of foreign language education in universities is an innovative measure made by China's higher education in combination with the international situation and national policies. To guide foreign language education work with the theory of sustainable development, not only should teaching factors be taken into account, but also the laws of foreign language education should be followed in order to leverage the guiding advantages of sustainable development theory to assist the development of foreign language education in universities. Therefore, the article first elaborates on the connotation of sustainable development of foreign language education in universities, and then analyzes the factors that constrain the sustainable development of foreign language education. It puts forward several suggestions in order to create a sustainable environment for college students to comprehensively utilize their foreign language abilities.
