Research on the Construction of the English Course System "Understanding Contemporary China"

Abstract

Against the backdrop of globalization, China's development and transformation have attracted widespread attention. To help Chinese students better understand and communicate the social, cultural, and economic development of contemporary China in an international context, constructing the English course series "Understanding Contemporary China" holds significant importance. This study, based on the principles of cross-cultural adaptability, multidimensional content selection, and interactive and practical teaching, proposes a course design plan that covers reading, writing, translation, and public speaking. By exploring the course implementation path, the study presents specific strategies for integrating teaching materials, building faculty teams, and innovating teaching models. This research provides theoretical support and practical guidance for improving the cross-cultural communication skills of Chinese students and promoting the construction of Chinese studies curricula in international exchanges.
