ABSTRACT

"Telling China stories well" is a necessary way for the world to fully understand China, to expand the influence of Chinese culture as well as to create a good image of China as a cultural power. As an important way to improve college students' foreign language competence and promote cross-cultural communication, foreign language education also serves as a cradle for cultivating international communication talents with firm political stance, solid language skills, and good communication literacy. Telling China stories well in foreign language teaching, therefore, is not only a systematic project of foreign language education based on China's national conditions, but also a key measure to implement the full process of moral education to all students in higher education. Exploring ways to empower college students to tell China stories well in foreign language teaching is of paramount significance for improving their foreign language proficiency and strengthening cultural soft power of China. The article first analyzes the necessities and difficulties in telling China stories in foreign language teaching, and then explores the path to enabling students to practice the corresponding skills in foreign language teaching. By strengthening the instrumental and practical nature of foreign language education, we can take various measures to help college students "tell China stories well".
