At the historic moment of China's rise as a major power, ideological and political (ideopolitical) education in higher education has emerged to meet the demands of the times. China's foreign language education has always aligned itself with the needs of the nation. As a general education course that embodies both instrumental and humanistic values, College English—bridging two languages and two cultures—has become a crucial vehicle for ideological and political education in universities. The College English Ideopolitical curriculum should emphasize the integration of language proficiency and ideological education, foster patriotic sentiment and cultural confidence, and expand global perspectives and intercultural communication skills. With the advancement of artificial intelligence, AI-enhanced English ideopolitical teaching not only improves the efficiency of language acquisition but also broadens the scope and depth of ideological education, providing technological support for cultivating well-rounded talents suited for the new era. This model represents an innovative approach to nurturing globally competent citizens who are deeply rooted in Chinese values, contributing to the nation's strategic goals in an increasingly interconnected world.
