Research on the Ideological and Political Education in College Foreign Language Courses From the Cross-Cultural Perspective

Abstract

As an important element of higher education, ideological and political education in college foreign language courses plays an important role in implementing the fundamental task of “cultivating people by moral education”. Foreign language courses involve the aspects of language, culture and ideology, integrating ideological and political elements into the classroom and the lives of young students in a hidden way, which can not only give the traditional ideological and political education with fresh vitality, but also enrich the connotation of the foreign language curriculum itself. From the perspective of cross-culture and foreign language teaching, this paper fully excavates the connotation of ideological and political education in foreign language courses. Meanwhile, taking New Horizon College English Book III as the case, the reform path of the ideological and political education in college foreign language courses is discussed from the following three aspects: teaching content, teaching methods, and the ideological and political ability of foreign language teachers.
