ABSTRACT

China's Maritime Power Strategy and Maritime Silk Road Intiative require that new generations of students have suffient marine literacy. Marine literacy refers to the sum of knowledge, values, essential qualities, and key abilities related to the ocean, and marine literacy construction relies on humanistic education that aims to improve students' general knowledge and awareness about marine history, literature, art, and so on. To achieve the educational goals, comprehensive methods are needed that include systematic teaching design, extensive reading of multi-media marine-related texts, combination of classroom learning and extracurricular practice, and critical understanding of the similarities and differences between Chinese and Western marine histories and cultures, so as to equip the students with both textbook and practical knowledge about the ocean.
