ABSTRACT

From the perspective of educational ecology, this study systematically explores the challenges facing the ideological-political education in foreign language courses, and taking the course of "Advanced English" as an example, this study attempts to construct a ecological pathway for ideological-political education in foreign language courses featuring holistic harmony and dynamic balance. It is suggested that in the practice of ideological-political education, foreign language teachers are supposed to first raise their ideological-political initiative and competence, excavate ideological-political elements in English texts and design language-skills-supported value objectives and teaching activities. Then making fullest use of AI environment, foreign language teachers are advised to adopt varied teaching methods to integrate ideological-political education into foreign language courses and evaluate the effect of ideological-political education in a scientific and reasonable way. This study is aimed to practically promote the ideological-political reform in foreign language courses.
