Analysis of the current situation and teaching optimization strategies for ideological and political education in college English courses at non-double first-tier engineering universities
双非一本工科高校大学英语课程思政现状分析及教学优化策略

摘要

本文聚焦于双非一本工科高校大学英语课程思政的建设现状与优化策略。通过对湖南工业大学2023级学生的问卷调查，分析了学生对课程思政的了解程度、教师思政内容的融入情况、学生对课程思政结果的态度及建议。研究发现，学生对课程思政了解不足，教师在融入思政教育时未充分考虑学生兴趣和需求，导致课程思政效果不佳。学生普遍认为课程思政有助于英语学习，但存在内容生硬、教学方式单一、缺乏实践环节等问题。基于此，本文提出了多项教学优化策略，包括采取多样化教学方式以加强学生对课程思政的了解，优化课程内容设置以实现思政性与趣味性兼备，以及发挥课外活动的作用以弥补课堂不足。这些策略旨在提升学生的跨文化交流能力、社会责任感、对国家文化的了解和职业道德意识。未来，工科高校应继续探索和实践更加有效的课程思政教学模式，以适应时代发展需求和学生成长需要。教师应不断提升思政素养和教学能力，为培养德智体美劳全面发展的社会主义建设者和接班人贡献力量。通过这些努力，有望实现大学英语课程思政的真正目标，即传授知识、提升人文素养和培养价值观的有机结合。

Abstract

This paper focuses on the current situation and optimization strategies of ideological and political education in college English courses at non-double first-class universities with a focus on engineering. Through a questionnaire survey of students from the 2023 cohort at Hunan University of Technology, we analyzed students' understanding of ideological and political education in courses, the integration of ideological and political content by teachers, and students' attitudes towards and suggestions for the outcomes of ideological and political education in courses. The study found that students have insufficient understanding of ideological and political education in courses, and teachers have not fully considered students' interests and needs when integrating ideological and political education, leading to poor effectiveness of such education. Students generally believe that ideological and political education in courses is beneficial to English learning, but there are issues such as rigid content, single teaching methods, and a lack of practical sessions. Based on this, this paper proposes several teaching optimization strategies, including adopting diversified teaching methods to enhance students' understanding of ideological and political education in courses, optimizing course content to achieve a balance between ideological and political nature and interest, and leveraging extracurricular activities to compensate for classroom deficiencies. These strategies aim to improve students' cross-cultural communication skills, sense of social responsibility, understanding of national culture, and awareness of professional ethics. In the future, engineering universities should continue to explore and practice more effective teaching modes for ideological and political education in courses to meet the development needs of the times and the growth needs of students. Teachers should continuously improve their ideological and political literacy and teaching abilities, contributing to the cultivation of socialist builders and successors who are well-rounded in moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor aspects. Through these efforts, it is hoped that the true goal of ideological and political education in college English courses can be achieved, namely, the organic integration of knowledge impartation, humanistic quality enhancement, and value cultivation.
