Introduction
In the current rapidly changing social environment, it is particularly important to cultivate young people of the new era with firm ideals and beliefs, as well as correct worldviews, outlooks on life, and values [1] .The proposal of ideological and political concepts in the curriculum provides strong support for comprehensively promoting quality education.Curriculum ideological and political education, as an important educational concept in the context of the new era, emphasizes the integration of ideological and political education in various disciplines, cultivating students' comprehensive qualities and ideological and political awareness.As a fundamental course, college English education should not only promote students' cross-cultural communication and improve their comprehensive language proficiency, but also fully leverage the role of ideological and political education.

The Problems and Challenges in College English Education
College English education, as an important way to cultivate students' language communication and cross-cultural communication abilities, faces numerous challenges and problems that not only affect the quality of education, but also directly affect students' learning outcomes and comprehensive quality cultivation.
Firstly, students lack interest and motivation to learn English, which is a significant issue.With the integration of diverse cultures in society, students' interests in subjects are showing an increasingly diverse trend.However, many traditional English teaching methods still remain at the level of imparting knowledge and lack emotional participation.This may lead to some students feeling tired of learning English, affecting their learning motivation and effectiveness.How to design teaching methods that stimulate students' interest in learning and encourage them to actively participate in English learning is a topic worthy of in-depth research on this issue.
Secondly, traditional teaching methods may not be sufficient to meet the diverse learning needs of students, making it difficult to arouse their interest [2] .With the rapid development of information technology, the information that students come into contact with in their daily lives is becoming increasingly diverse, which also affects their expectations for learning methods.However, some traditional English education still focuses on imparting knowledge such as grammar and vocabulary, lacking innovative and practical elements.This may make it difficult for students to truly think deeply, limiting their creativity and critical thinking development.Therefore, how to stimulate students' interest and meet their learning needs through diverse teaching methods has become an urgent problem to be solved.
In addition, with the deepening of international exchanges, cultivating students' cross-cultural awareness and international perspective is becoming increasingly important.However, the existing English education models may not fully pay attention to students' awareness and understanding of cultural differences.Focusing solely on language expression skills may not meet students' needs in international communication, as cross-cultural communication requires understanding and respect for different cultural backgrounds.In this context, how to guide students to have a deeper understanding of different cultures and cultivate their cross-cultural awareness is a question worth considering.
In summary, college English education faces multiple problems and challenges, which involve students' interest in learning, the diversity of teaching methods, and the cultivation of cross-cultural communication.To solve these problems, educators need to constantly explore and innovate to adapt to the changes of the times and the needs of students, in order to better achieve the goal of cultivating language communication and cross-cultural communication abilities.

The Application of Curriculum Ideological and Political Concept in College English Education
To solve the problems and challenges in current college English education, the ideological and political concept of curriculum provides a beneficial method and approach, which can be effectively applied in college English education.The ideological and political education curriculum emphasizes integrating ideological and political education into various disciplines, promoting students' comprehensive development, and cultivating socialist builders and successors with comprehensive moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor development.In college English education, the application of ideological and political concepts in courses can be approached from aspects such as course design, teaching content, and teaching methods, in order to improve the quality of education and teaching in a targeted manner.
In the process of designing college English courses, consciously integrating relevant content of ideological and political education is an effective way to improve students' comprehensive quality.Especially in college English reading courses, teachers can cleverly select articles related to social development, cultural exchange, and other fields, thereby stimulating students' learning interest and thinking.For example, using English articles on popular topics such as global environmental issues, technological innovation, and social change, guide students to gain a deeper understanding of the development of different countries in these fields, as well as the impact of these developments on individuals and society.Through this approach, students can not only improve their English reading ability, but also enhance their ability to pay attention to and think about social issues.In addition, the course design can also design discussion sessions that explore issues such as national values and cultural identity, in order to cultivate students' sense of social responsibility and critical thinking.For example, teachers can arrange for students to discuss cultural differences in different countries, allowing them to deeply reflect on how cultural diversity affects people's values and behavior.Through such discussions, students can not only improve their English oral expression skills, but also cultivate respect and understanding for cultural diversity.
In college English education, the selection of teaching content is crucial [3] .In order to integrate ideological and political education into it, teachers can choose literary works, film and television materials with profound ideological and political connotations as teaching materials.These works not only help students improve their English language proficiency, but also convey national history, culture, and values through storyline and character shaping, thereby triggering students' in-depth thinking.Taking George Orwell's "1984" as an example, this novel reveals the horror of totalitarian society and the fragility of human nature, guiding people to think about the relationship between power, freedom, and individuals.By guiding students to read and discuss such works, not only can they improve their reading comprehension ability, but also inspire them to think and reflect on social and political issues.Meanwhile, by selecting film and television materials that reflect different cultural backgrounds, teachers can help students better understand the differences between different cultures, cultivate students' international perspective and cross-cultural communication skills.For example, by watching representative foreign language movies, students can not only improve their listening and speaking skills, but also feel the lifestyles and values of people from different cultural backgrounds.
Diversified teaching methods are the key to stimulating students' interest and participation in learning.In college English education, teachers can use interactive teaching, group discussions, case studies, and other methods to create a positive learning atmosphere and encourage students to participate more deeply in learning.Through interactive teaching, teachers can guide students to actively participate in classroom interactions, such as designing Q&A sessions, problem-solving tasks, etc., to improve students' language proficiency through active interaction.In addition, group discussions are an effective way to cultivate students' critical thinking and cooperative spirit.By jointly discussing topics related to ideological and political issues within a group, students can think from different perspectives, cultivate independent thinking and teamwork skills.Finally, through case analysis, teachers can guide students to analyze actual situations and explore the ideological and political connotations within them.For example, by introducing specific social problem cases, students can analyze the underlying reasons and possible impacts of the problem, and cultivate their analytical thinking and problem-solving abilities.

A Case Study of College English Education Based on Curriculum Ideological and Political Education
In the college English education of a certain university, the ideological and political concepts of the curriculum have been fully applied, especially in the field of curriculum design.In order to promote students' cross-cultural awareness and international perspective, the school has created a specialized course called "English and Global Perspective".Through this course, students not only improve their English language proficiency, but also gain a deeper understanding of important issues such as international situations and relations.This way of combining language learning with global issues not only enriches students' knowledge, but also stimulates their thinking on world issues.Teachers cleverly guide students to explore global issues and cultivate their sense of social responsibility and international awareness.By engaging with international issues, students have gradually established a more open and inclusive worldview, laying a solid foundation for future international exchanges and cooperation.In terms of selecting teaching content, the university also showcases the essence of ideological and political education in the curriculum.Especially in terms of literary works selection, they chose literary works that reflect profound social reality themes, such as "1984" and "Animal Farm".These works not only help students improve their literary literacy, but more importantly, stimulate their thinking on social issues by guiding them to read and analyze.By studying these works, students can gain a deeper understanding of important issues such as power, freedom, and human rights, and cultivate critical thinking and social awareness.Literary interpretation is not only an interpretation of words, but also a deep analysis of social reality, enabling students to more keenly perceive social problems and think about how to contribute to social development.The university has also demonstrated a unique application of curriculum ideological and political education in terms of teaching methods.Group discussion is one of the widely used teaching methods.By grouping students and allowing them to explore specific topics together, they are able to think about problems from multiple perspectives, cultivating their critical thinking ability and teamwork spirit.Group discussions not only enable students to benefit from each other's perspectives, but also provide a platform for them to express their opinions, improving participation and interactivity.In addition, student speeches are also an important component of the school's teaching.By giving keynote speeches in class, students can not only improve their oral expression skills, but also exercise creative thinking and self-confidence.This teaching method that encourages students to express themselves makes the classroom more active and stimulates students' interest in learning.
Overall, the university's college English education case fully demonstrates the effective application of curriculum ideological and political concepts in the field of education.By creating specific courses, selecting literary works related to social issues, and utilizing diverse teaching methods, the school has successfully integrated ideological and political education into college English education, cultivating outstanding talents with cross-cultural awareness and social responsibility.This case provides valuable experience and inspiration for the practice of other schools in college English education, guiding us to better cultivate students' comprehensive qualities and international perspectives.

Innovative teaching mode and the cultivation of students' ideological and political qualities
In college English education, in addition to integrating ideological and political concepts into the curriculum, innovative teaching models are also an important way to improve students' ideological and political qualities.By introducing new teaching methods and methods, students' interests can be more effectively stimulated, and their sense of social responsibility and teamwork spirit can be cultivated.
With the continuous progress of technology, online learning platforms have brought new opportunities and possibilities to college English education.This innovative teaching method has been widely tried and applied in the practice of a certain university.By integrating online learning models into college English education, schools provide students with more flexible learning pathways.Students can participate in course learning anytime and anywhere through online platforms, making full use of fragmented time and improving learning efficiency.The characteristics of online learning enable students to learn according to their own learning progress and interests, thereby better meeting personalized learning needs.Among them, online discussion and interaction are important components of online learning.Students can communicate with classmates and teachers in a virtual space, sharing their viewpoints and insights.This interactive learning mode helps to stimulate students' thinking and innovation abilities.Students raise questions, exchange viewpoints, and think about problems from different perspectives in virtual discussions, thus cultivating critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.Through interaction with others, students can broaden their horizons, gain new inspiration and perspectives, and promote the deepening and universality of knowledge.In addition, online learning can effectively expand the learning space of college students, giving them more opportunities to access knowledge in different fields.In traditional classroom teaching, time and location limitations may limit students' learning range.However, through online learning, students can independently choose course content, cross different fields, and expand their subject breadth.This helps to improve students' interdisciplinary comprehensive qualities, cultivate their more comprehensive knowledge structure and comprehensive abilities.
Innovative teaching models can also be combined with practical teaching to cultivate students' sense of social responsibility and teamwork spirit.In the practice of a certain university, students are encouraged to participate in various social welfare activities, such as community volunteers and environmental protection actions.Through these practical activities, students can personally experience social problems and deepen their understanding of social reality.For example, some students have participated in activities that provide companionship services for elderly people in the community.Through communication with the elderly, they have gained an understanding of their needs and concerns, and enhanced their sense of social responsibility.At the same time, these practical activities also encourage students to collaborate with others and cultivate a spirit of teamwork.In a team, students need to work together to develop plans, collaborate, and coordinate communication, thereby cultivating their leadership, communication skills, and teamwork skills.Through practical experience, students have gained a deeper understanding of the importance of teamwork, laying a solid foundation for their future career development.
Taking a certain university as an example, they actively explore innovative teaching models in college English education to cultivate students' ideological and political qualities.Firstly, the school has introduced an online learning platform, offering virtual discussions and interactive sessions.In English courses, students can discuss topics related to global issues on online platforms and share their perspectives and insights with each other.This not only promotes students' thinking and communication, but also cultivates their network literacy and innovative thinking.Secondly, the school emphasizes practical teaching and organizes students to participate in social welfare activities.Students deeply experience the reality of social problems and enhance their sense of social responsibility through practical activities such as volunteering and environmental protection actions.At the same time, by collaborating with others, they have learned to collaborate, communicate, and lead, cultivating a spirit of teamwork.These practical experiences not only enrich students' knowledge, but also cultivate their ideological and political qualities and social awareness.
Overall, the application of innovative teaching models in college English education is of great significance for cultivating students' ideological and political qualities.The introduction of online learning platforms has expanded the learning space, promoted interaction and thinking; Combining practical teaching has cultivated students' sense of social responsibility and teamwork spirit.The case study of a certain university provides useful reference for other schools, inspiring us to continuously explore and innovate in college English education in order to cultivate more comprehensive and excellent talents.
