Abstract
This paper centers on the extensive backdrop of “understanding contemporary China” and undertakes an in-depth exploration regarding the construction status of the “Spreading China” course group for English majors. Through a meticulous analysis of the present situation and a multitude of problems manifested in the current curriculum arrangement of English majors within institutions of higher education, a series of highly targeted construction strategies are subsequently proposed. These strategies encompass optimizing the curriculum framework, innovating teaching methodologies, intensifying practical teaching, elevating the professional acumen of teachers, and refining the teaching evaluation system. The central aim here is to foster English major students into talents who possess a solid command of the language and outstanding cross-cultural communication capabilities. By doing so, it is expected to contribute to the widespread dissemination of Chinese culture on the international stage, thereby effectively augmenting China's discursive power and cultural influence in the global arena.
