摘要

English major students are the reserve forces for "telling China's stories well". It is of vital importance to train students to be English professionals with both excellent ideological and political qualities and high English proficiency, so as to cultivate students into a new generation capable of shouldering the mission of national rejuvenation. Therefore, publicity and ideological work must be done well to foster their firm faith. However, ideological and political education in high schools is actually absent and aphasia in teaching practice of English major. To change this situation, ideological and political education should be combined with professional teaching. First of all, the concept of emphasizing intelligence over morality in professional courses should be reversed. Secondly, curriculum design of integrating ideological and political education into teaching should be made. Thirdly, students should be encouraged to participate in various professional competitions and guided to understand and familiarize themselves with current affairs and tell China's stories well in English. Finally, the construction of ideological and political education teaching staff should be strengthened through cooperation, training and other measures, so as to improve the quality of ideological and political theories teaching.
