Optimizing the Integration Pathways of Humanistic Education in College English Teaching Under the Guidance of Core Literacy

The cultivation of core literacy has become a central objective of higher education in the new era. College English, as a public foundational course possessing both instrumental and humanistic dimensions, relies on the integration of humanistic education within its teaching process as a crucial pathway for realizing core literacy development. Grounded in theories of core literacy, humanistic education, and language acquisition, this study addresses the current practical challenges of insufficient alignment between humanistic education integration and core literacy cultivation in College English teaching. It proposes optimized pathways for integrating humanistic education under the guidance of core literacy from five dimensions: anchoring teaching objectives, restructuring textbook content, innovating teaching models, upgrading evaluation systems, and improving support mechanisms. The aim is to achieve an organic unity between language skill development and core literacy cultivation, thereby providing theoretical reference and practical guidance for cultivating versatile talents equipped with cross-cultural communication skills, humanistic sensibility, and social responsibility.
