FOSTERING CULTURAL CONFIDENCE THROUGH INTERCULTURAL IDEOLOGICAL-POLITICAL EDUCATION: A CASE STUDY OF A UNIVERSITY COURSE ON RUSSIAN AREA STUDIES

Abstract

In the context of globalization, ideological and political education in foreign language courses has become a key approach to enhancing university students’ cultural identity and communicative competence. Using the course Contemporary Russian Social Life as a case study, this paper explores the theoretical connotations, objective framework, and instructional design for integrating cultural confidence into intercultural ideological-political teaching. A hybrid teaching model combining BOPPPS, SPOC, and the flipped classroom is constructed to guide students in deepening their understanding of Chinese culture and value judgment through comparative analysis with Russian culture. Teaching practice and feedback demonstrate that this model effectively improves students’ intercultural communication skills and national identity, offering a feasible instructional paradigm for ideological-political education in foreign language curricula and providing theoretical insights for Sino-Russian comparative education.
