ABSTRACT

“Curriculum ideological and political education” is trending in the current educational reform of colleges and universities, which is especially urgent for foreign language programs due to their disciplinary particularities. The core of the construction of ideological and political education lies in professional teachers. Therefore, the primary concern that should be solved is how to promote the reconstruction of teachers’ role. There are three demands for the reconstruction of teachers’ role in curriculum ideological and political education for foreign language programs: innovation of educational philosophy in the new era, implementation of Marxist theory of comprehensive development, and upgrading of foreign language talents cultivation standards, and accordingly three directions of reconstruction are derived: teachers as promoters of the Party and nation’s line and principles, learners of Marxist theory, and researchers of traditional Chinese culture. To implement the role reconstruction, it is necessary to start from three perspectives: identifying the role, cultivating role awareness, and satisfying role expectations.
