Research on a Blended Teaching Model for Ideological-Political Education in University English Courses Based on BOPPPS: Taking the “Chinese Culture and Traditions” Unit as an Example
To implement the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education and address the practical dilemmas of "awkward integration" and "delayed evaluation" in college English curriculum-based ideological and political education, this study focuses on the systematic integration of the BOPPPS model, blended learning, and curriculum-based ideological and political education. It constructs a new dual-dimensional integrated college English teaching model that unifies "language competence" and "ideological-political literacy". Taking the unit "Chinese Culture and Tradition" in College Integrated English 2 for the Financial Engineering major at a private undergraduate university in Zhejiang Province as a case, this study provides a detailed explanation of the practice and application of this teaching model. The results show that, by virtue of the structural advantages of the BOPPPS model, the model effectively avoids the random integration of ideological and political elements and achieves in-depth coupling of language training and value analysis; the collaborative design of online and offline teaching expands the temporal and spatial boundaries of ideological and political education, facilitating students' progression from knowledge cognition to value internalization; and the multi-dimensional evaluation system provides a measurable approach for assessing the effectiveness of ideological and political education.
