Exploration of the Course Construction of “Public English for Postgraduate” Under the Course-based Ideological and Political Education Guidance in the Digital and Intelligent Era

Abstract

Course-based ideological and political education constitutes an integral part of the innovation in foreign language teaching reform. In recent years, the enrollment of postgraduate students in China has been increasing annually. However, the research on course-based ideological and political education within public English courses in higher education predominantly centers on the undergraduate level. Based on teaching practice, this article initially delves into the implicit advantages of integrating ideological and political education into the "Public English for Postgraduate" course from the perspective of constructing a content system with ideological and political orientation and the design, implementation, and evaluation of diverse curriculum activities. Subsequently, by integrating the requirements of the country for high-caliber talents, the learning attitudes, and language proficiency of the students, along with the core tenets of the relevant guidelines, it formulates a teaching content framework imbued with ideological and political significance. Moreover, in light of the characteristics of the digital and intelligent era and the cognitive and emotional states of postgraduate students, it undertakes the design and execution of multifaceted teaching activities, organizes and conducts multidimensional teaching evaluations. This comprehensive approach aims to deepen students' ideological and political awareness, foster the internalization of their emotions, and guide their practical applications, thereby more effectively realizing the knowledge, competence, and ideological and political objectives of the course.
