Research on the Blended Teaching Model of Ideological and Political Education in the Comprehensive English Course under the CBI Concept
Abstract
Based on the concept of Content-Based Instruction (CBI), this paper explores the integration path of ideological and political education and the blended teaching model in the English major’s Comprehensive English Course. Specifically, by constructing a “trinity” teaching model that combines online and offline learning, coordinates in-class and extracurricular activities, and integrates theory with practice, it verifies its significant enhancement of students’ language proficiency, ideological and political literacy, and learning satisfaction in teaching practice. Thereby, it addresses the dilemma of the “hard integration” and “superficiality” of ideological education in traditional English teaching.
