Abstract:

With the implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative and the promulgation of the new curriculum standards for high school English in China, high school English teaching has shifted from the traditional focus on foreign culture to equal emphasis on native culture, which requires integrating native culture into English teaching while deeply exploring intercultural elements. At the same time, ideological and political education in the curriculum (IPEC) in the new-era means that English teaching must highlight the educational value and give full play to the ideological and political elements and the value of implicit education in English courses. This study examined the integration and acceptance of native culture, intercultural elements, and IPEC in Chinese high school English learning. This study used descriptive research. A total of 360 students from Liulin Senior High School in Shiyan, Hubei Province participated in the study. The research results show that high school students’ attitudes and awareness of their native culture have been greatly improved, so the overall learning effect is optimistic. The implementation effect of the IPEC in English class is generally positive. Girls attach greater significance to native culture, and thus can adopt more learning techniques, and better understand the meaning and importance of IPEC. In terms of native culture, liberal arts students are rated better than science students. In addition, native culture, intercultural elements and IPEC are highly relevant. Lastly, a language learning program was proposed to enhance the native culture, intercultural elements, and IPEC of Chinese high school EFL learners.
