【课程特色】
(1)英语学习和课程思政相结合。随着“一带一路"倡议的提出与实施,我国与沿线国家的交往日益频繁,迫切需要了解各个国家的情况,了解各国的人民及其文化,在这样的背景下,课程团队把英语学习和课程思政很好的结合在一起,把思想政治教育内化为课程内容。讲好中国故事,培养学习者的“中国情怀”,坚持立德树人。课程通过深入剖析,为学习者展示了一幅幅多姿多彩的不同国家风情,伴随学习者去认识世界、走向世界。(2)实用性、文化性、趣味性相融合。课程内容以“一带一路”国别研究为启发,以讲述相关国家社会文化内容为线索,以培养学习者批判性思维和跨文化交际能力为目标,以英语学习为落脚点,课程具有学科优势,课程设计体现了实用性、文化性和趣味性相融合的原则。 通过课程学习,学习者能了解这些国家深层次的文化传统和价值观念,同时在学习文化中提高英语水平和跨文化交际能力。(3)中英文双语为教学手段,文化交流与英语学习双重收获。国内涉及“一带一路”国家文化的外语课程并不多。课林用中英文双语结合的方式,达到文化交流与英语学习双重收获, 增强课程的功能性。
