Ways to Integrate Ideological and Political Education into the Process of the National Self-Awareness Formation among Master’s Degree Students Majoring in Foreign Languages
Abstract
This article, based on an analysis of the definitions of the concept of “national self-awareness” proposed by Chinese and foreign scholars, clarifies the essence of the formation of national self-awareness among mas-ter’s degree students. The necessity of this process is revealed from the perspective of fulfilling the fundamen-tal task of moral education and character cultivation, promoting the high-quality development of the Foreign Language discipline as well as preparing multidisciplinary specialists in the field of foreign languages. As de-duced from five key directions – establishing a system of ideological and political education within academic courses, optimizing the learning guides system, improving the teaching staff qualification, implementing a mul-ti-option talent cultivation model, and forming an academic system – the author proposes the construction of a coordinated, interconnected, and effective path for the formation of national self-awareness.
