A Research on the Teaching Reform of English “Course Ideological and Political

Education” in Higher Vocational Colleges Based on Cooperative Education Mechanismin higher vocational colleges is a new mode of teaching management in higher

vocational colleges, which takes moral education and self-cultivation as the guiding

principle of cultural teaching, and takes the development and promotion of cultural

education theory and practice with socialism with characteristics as the core value

concept as the main line of teaching. It plays the role of cultural teaching in higher

vocational English classroom in the current promotion of ideological and theoretical

political education in higher vocational colleges, excavates the ideological and

political function of higher vocational English curriculum, and forms the classroom

teaching management function of higher vocational English curriculum. It forms

the ideological and theoretical political education of higher vocational students

that combines the ideological and political education of higher vocational students

with higher vocational and technical education, and promotes the “tripod” of

higher vocational teaching management. In the process of “curriculum ideological

and political education”, “curriculum ideological and political education” is the

synchronous and cooperative education. It can give full play to the function of

English curriculum education, explore how to better coordinate the interaction

between courses, expand the connotation, space and dimension of ideological and

political education, and integrate the teaching of ideological and political work

throughout the whole process of education. It can also promote the improvement

of students’ vocational skills and comprehensive quality, which is conducive to the

cultivation and comprehensive development of high-quality talents.2. The Basis of Integrating Higher Vocational English Teaching into

Ideological and Political Education

In the training of professional talents in higher vocational colleges, the

comprehensive learning of students’ relevant professional knowledge and the

comprehensive training of students’ professional skills have always occupied

an important dominant position, and the comprehensive training of students’

professional comprehensive ability quality and students’ humanistic and cultural

quality is obviously insufficient. The main content of ideological and political

theory education is concentrated in the two-course theoretical teaching and party

affairs education activities, and the education form is relatively single. In addition,

vocational English is just a tool language, and many students do not pay enough

attention to English. At the same time, some ordinary higher vocational colleges

have reduced the teaching hours of English in ordinary vocational colleges

by increasing a large number of professional courses in the curriculum.

Requirements of Higher Vocational English Course

also clearly states: “English is

an important tool for learning cultural science knowledge, acquiring knowledge

from all aspects of the world, and conducting international exchanges.” It can

be seen that in addition to the basic characteristics of teaching tools, higher

7

Journal of International Education and Development Vol.5 No.8 2021vocational English also has the basic characteristics of scientific knowledge,

literature and ideology. In professional skills and applied higher vocational

education, the comprehensive ideology of English related disciplines is still in

a prominent dominant position. Therefore, higher vocational education should

pay special attention to the cultivation of English ideological and moral quality

and comprehensive ideological ability. In the teaching reform of “curriculum

ideological and political education”, it is necessary and effective to integrate

students’ ideological and political moral education teaching activities into higher

vocational English teaching reform. If higher vocational colleges want to speed

up the reform of the ideological and political theory education system of English

course and combine the ideological and political theory education of the Party with

English classroom organically, they must organize and carry out the ideological and

political theory education of the Party appropriately and reasonably while teaching

English basic knowledge. Without turning English class into ideological and

political course, ideological and political education should be carried out subtly.

The construction of a team of English teachers with strong moral consciousness

and moral ability has become the basis of the reform of “curriculum ideological

politics”. Teachers are always the practical subjects of teaching and educating, and

they are the first person and responsible person in school classroom teaching. A

qualified English teacher team with high ideological and political quality will be

a strong guarantee for higher vocational colleges to carry out English courses and

students’ ideological and political quality education. It is imperative to improve

the awareness of political and moral education of in-service teachers, cultivate

and continuously improve the ability of political and moral literacy of in-service

teachers, and gradually develop the moral awareness of active participation in

research in daily teaching.3. Strategies for the Teaching Reform of “Ideological and Political

Course” in Higher Vocational English Based on Collaborative

Education Mechanism(1) Clearing teaching objectivesWhile strictly following the requirements of the national English curriculum

teaching standards, teachers should fully and deeply excavate the rich connotation

of ideological and political moral education, collect moral education materials

closely related to English teaching content, and organically combine Chinese

excellent traditional culture with the core idea of Chinese socialism. In the teaching

design of English course in higher vocational colleges, teachers not only need to

specify the training objectives of English knowledge and comprehensive ability,

but also add a clear goal of students’ moral education in English teaching plan.

Only in this way can the ideological and political theory education curriculum truly

A Research on the Teaching Reform of English “Course Ideological and Political

Education” in Higher Vocational Colleges Based on Cooperative Education Mechanismbecome a part of higher vocational English curriculum, and can it be effectively

implemented, so as to realize the effective unification of English curriculum

teaching knowledge system and value concept guidance. In terms of higher

vocational English curriculum, the basic connotation of ideological and political

education mainly includes the following two points:Firstly, it is necessary to cultivate the ability of ordinary vocational college

students to distinguish between right and wrong, and to learn the essence of

knowledge. Under the great pressure of globalization of the world economy, a

large number of information technology resources flow rapidly and appear one

by one. Some network media information is difficult to accurately distinguish

between true and false. Higher vocational students have weak ability to distinguish

between true and false, and their understanding of real things is easy to be on the

surface of emotion. As a full-time English teacher, it is necessary to teach students

the independent thinking ability that can distinguish right from wrong, help them

correctly analyze good and bad, give full play to the guiding role of English

moral education in English curriculum, avoid students’ worship of foreign things,

and enhance the Chinese nationalist spirit and Chinese national consciousness

of students in higher vocational colleges. In the actual classroom teaching,

English teachers can guide and cultivate all students to discover China’s excellent

traditional moral culture, cultivate all students’ core values, view of life and view

of world by carefully reading English-related teaching materials and audio-visual

materials, give play to the demonstration and guiding role of English teaching

quality education, carry forward the excellent traditional culture of our party and

the Chinese nation, and improve students’ core ly, to determine the development goals of students, teachers also need

to investigate deeply the majority of students’ physical and mental health status,

concern about social reality education, current affairs education hot spots and other

factors. Only by paying full and in-depth attention to the higher vocational English

learning problems most urgently concerned by higher vocational English students

in China, can they greatly improve their interest in higher vocational English

and attract their attention to higher vocational English learning, so as to infiltrate

ideological and political education invisibly, give full play to the ideological and

political education implied in higher vocational English curriculum, and achieve

the ultimate goal of English curriculum.(2) Improving the comprehensive level of curriculum ideological and political

education of higher vocational teachersTeachers’ political awareness should be improved and changed from

specialization to popularity. Teachers are the main body of cooperative education.

In order to achieve good educational effect, first of all, higher vocational colleges

9

Journal of International Education and Development Vol.5 No.8 2021need to take measures to improve the comprehensive level of teachers. First of

all, it is necessary to improve teachers’ ideological and political consciousness,

cultivate teachers’ political literacy. Higher vocational colleges should put

teachers’ ideological and political work in a prominent position, improve the whole

ideological and political education mechanism, and realize the transformation of

ideological and political education from specialization to popularity. Therefore,

teachers should be trained regularly to truly understand the relevant theoretical

knowledge of ideological and political education, understand the development

of the country, and make ideological and political education more convenient in

the classroom. Secondly, colleges and universities should strengthen teachers’

awareness of cooperation, cooperate in educating people, highlight the effect of

cooperation, build a collaborative integration mechanism between ideological and

political teachers in colleges and universities and other teachers, and carry out

ideological and political education with disciplinary characteristics in combination

with professional characteristics. Finally, in the teaching process, teachers must

have a general awareness and long-term vision to achieve holistic education and

truly apply the collaborative education model in place.(3) Excavating educational resources in English curriculumHaving a scientific system of ideological and political resources is the

fundamental core for schools to carry out ideological and political education. To

give full play to the mutual synergy between English and ideological politics,

it is necessary to continuously optimize English curriculum, enrich English

teaching content, improve English teaching curriculum design, and innovate

English teaching mode. In English classroom teaching, according to the teaching

objectives of talent training, the ideological and political contents needed in

English curriculum should be comprehensively sorted out, and the ideological and

political resources should be fully integrated and applied to it, and students should

be educated in combination with the value orientation of vocational education.

Higher vocational colleges also should give full play to the role of leading,

demonstration and education of Marxism, and build a platform for ideological and

political teachers and English teachers to communicate with and instruct each other.

English teachers also need to master the excellent ideological and political quality,

ideological strength and teaching theory and skills in political quality education,

so as to excavate and cultivate students’ ideological and political teaching ability.

In this way, the teaching goal of improving students’ political ideological strength

and political consciousness in the process of English education and teaching can be

achieved.10

English, teachers should consciously excavate the connotation of English moral

education in English curriculum, and actively integrate it into all aspects of

promoting English teaching curriculum design, so as to achieve the educational goal

of cultivating students’ ideological and political consciousness. English teachers

should firmly grasp the ideological and political education of students in English

classroom so as to broaden students’ international vision, help them establish
