Abstract

Ideological and political education holds an important position in the higher education system. In the context of globalization, foreign language teaching should not only focus on the development of language skills but also integrate ideological and political education. It is essential to utilize the educational functions of emotional attitudes, knowledge capabilities, and values within the curriculum to cultivate foreign language students’ knowledge, skills, and correct values. This integration aims to enhance students’ ideological and political literacy as well as their humanistic literacy, thereby promoting their comprehensive development. This study explores the essence of curriculum-based ideological and political education and, in light of the favorable conditions for the reform of ideological and political teaching in foreign language courses, investigates the practical approaches and strategies for the reform of ideological and political education in foreign language curricula. Research indicates that clearly defining teaching objectives, strengthening the overall planning of curriculum-based ideological and political education, optimizing teaching content, innovating teaching methods, and leveraging the roles of diverse participants are effective approaches and strategies for reforming ideological and political education in foreign language professional courses. This study can provide effective theoretical support and practical references for the reform of foreign language courses, promoting the dual enhancement of students’ language abilities and ideological and political literacy.
