Abstract:

As China plays an increasingly prominent role on the global stage, foreign language education should not only enhance students’ comprehensive language proficiency but also serve the dual purpose of disseminating China’s narratives and fostering mutual understanding across cultures. In response, China and the World: Progressive College English aligns with the College English Teaching Guide (2020 Edition) and adopts an Outcome-Based Education framework to create a textbook system that integrates both instrumental and humanistic goals. Featuring a blended print-digital interactive format, the textbook incorporates diverse types of texts related to China and the world to cultivate students’ national consciousness alongside a global vision. After a detailed articulation of the textbook’s compiling principles, this paper takes Unit 1 “The Chinese Dream” from Book 1 as an example to illustrate an outcome-based teaching design(“BOPPS+UP”), outcome-oriented teaching design, thereby offering actionable insights for reforming and advancing college English teaching practices.

Key words: College English textbooks, national consciousness, global vision, China and the World
