1 Introduction

The close connection between non lingua franca majors in Chinese universities and national strategies and political and economic development was discussed, emphasizing the higher requirements of the new liberal arts construction for the system, discipline construction, and curriculum teaching of non lingua franca majors in universities. The article points out that scholars have discussed the construction of professional systems and disciplines, but there has been less attention and discussion on curriculum teaching. The author will explore the teaching design of Greek knowledge-based professional courses from the perspective of professional teachers, using the principle of reverse design, with the aim of promoting experiential discussions on implementing the requirements of new liberal arts construction in foreign language curriculum construction.

Requirements of the New Liberal Arts Concept for the Curriculum Construction of Non General Language Majors in Foreign Languages in Colleges and Universities

The new liberal arts concept requires that the construction of non lingua franca majors in foreign languages in universities should reflect strategic, innovative, and integrated approaches, promoting the integration, timeliness, sinicization, and internationalization of liberal arts. In terms of teaching objectives, it is necessary to strengthen students' sense of mission as foreign language speakers, enhance their cross-cultural communication skills, and master the ability to tell Chinese stories well. In terms of teaching content, we should go beyond traditional skill cultivation, emphasize the cultivation of humanistic literacy, comprehensive ability, interdisciplinary awareness, and innovative consciousness, and present a broad disciplinary perspective and profound professional foundation. In terms of teaching effectiveness, we need to improve curriculum design and teaching methods, cultivate applied, versatile, international, and high-level talents, and create first-class foreign language courses.

Exploration of Teaching Design for Knowledge based Courses in Greek Language Major

Explored the importance and challenges of course design for non lingua franca majors in foreign languages in universities under the background of new liberal arts, especially the teaching design of knowledge-based courses for Greek language majors. The author points out that non lingua franca majors need to cultivate students who have matured and mastered foreign language skills, understood the target country's culture, and can meet the needs of the country within four years. However, they face the problems of lack of teaching materials and single learning methods. The Greek language course "Overview of Greece and Cyprus" is a compulsory course for majors, aimed at imparting cultural knowledge of the target country and influencing students' attitudes and directions towards learning culture.

4 Conclusion

In the context of the new liberal arts, non lingua franca majors in foreign languages need to pay attention to the cultivation of humanistic literacy, comprehensive abilities, interdisciplinary awareness, and innovative consciousness. Teachers should actively explore ways to integrate the requirements of new liberal arts into foreign language courses. The course design for the basic stage of Greek language major is based on the concept of balancing knowledge and foreign language learning, scientifically designing course content, enhancing cross-cultural awareness, application-oriented, carefully designing course tasks, and improving learning quality. The student feedback is good, but they also face difficulties and challenges. The construction of new liberal arts brings both development opportunities and challenges to non lingua franca majors in foreign languages. Proactively responding to national development needs, professional development will win new opportunities.
