Abstract

Courses with ideological-political elements are a new direction of the reform of higher education teaching in the new era and a key initiative to implement the fundamental task of “virtue-fostering through education.” College English, as a public basic course in universities, undertakes the dual missions of language teaching and ideological-political education, making it a primary platform for implementing courses with ideological-political elements. Based on the current teaching state of college English courses with ideological-political elements, this paper explores the blended teaching mode of college English courses with ideological-political elements by reconstructing teaching content, innovating teaching methods, integrating online and offline resources, and optimizing the teaching process, focusing on the three stages of pre-class, in-class, and after-class.
