ABSTRACT

This article aims to examine the effectiveness of infusing ideological education into extracurricular activities in foreign language teaching. The activity "International Communication Short Video Competition: Telling Stories about Chinese People" was taken as an illustrative example to interpret students' language performance from the perspective of discourse analysis. High words frequency processed by AntConc3.4.2 reflected the ideological elements in the video scripts, including patriotism, dedication, hard work, unity and friendship. A questionnaire was also administered to 539 students to find out their attitude to these activities. The results showed that students benefited a lot from participating in a wealth of extracurricular activities in the aspects of knowledge acquisition, philosophy of life, and professional skills. Since various extracurricular activities play an important role in shaping core values and morality standard, the article provides teachers with insight about how to integrate ideological education into practical tasks in curriculum-based ideological education.
