1 Introduction

The importance of ideological and political education in university foreign language education was emphasized, and its core role in cultivating talents was pointed out. At the same time, it pointed out the problems existing in the current practice of ideological and political education in foreign language courses in universities, such as the separation of teaching and ideological and political education, and the insufficient ability of teachers in designing ideological and political education courses. The article introduces the Output Oriented Approach (POA) as an innovative teaching theory and practice system to address these issues, emphasizing its compatibility with the ideological and political concepts of the curriculum. It also proposes a teaching process framework based on POA, aiming to provide guidance and case studies for teachers in designing ideological and political education courses.

The rationale for integrating ideological and political education into university foreign language courses through POA

Emphasis was placed on the core role of instructional design in achieving ideological and political education in university foreign language courses, and the difficulties currently faced by teachers in teaching ideological and political education in courses were pointed out, such as insufficient instructional design, unclear objectives, arbitrary content, and difficulties in evaluation. The article proposes that although some scholars have explored the teaching mode of ideological and political education in specific subjects, frontline teachers still need systematic theoretical guidance and operational procedures. The POA theory is considered to be in line with the concept of curriculum ideological and political education due to its effectiveness in foreign language teaching. Its concepts of "learning centeredness", "integration of learning and application", "cultural exchange", and "key abilities" can help solve problems in curriculum ideological and political education. The "Drive Facilitate Evaluate" teaching process framework of POA provides clear guidance for the design of curriculum ideological and political education, which helps to integrate curriculum ideological and political education into teaching objectives, content, and evaluation, and achieve the achievement of teaching objectives.

3 Principles of Curriculum Ideological and Political Education Design Based on POA

Under the POA framework, the design of ideological and political education in university foreign language courses should follow the following principles: firstly, design tasks that are friendly to students and can effectively drive learning motivation, ensuring that language tasks are combined with ideological and political education. Secondly, the design of ideological and political goals and tasks should be adapted to the content and unit objectives of the textbook, incorporating ideological and political elements through implicit and explicit means. Thirdly, the teaching process should be gradual and accurately support ideological and political goals, avoiding rigid integration. Fourthly, the ideological and political objectives of the curriculum should be specific, focused, and feasible, avoiding excessive dispersion of ideological and political elements. Finally, evaluation and feedback should be student-centered, enhancing students' sense of participation, achieving immediate teaching results and long-term positive impact.

4. Operational steps for designing ideological and political education courses based on POA

Elaborated in detail the operational steps of designing ideological and political education for college foreign language courses based on the output oriented approach (POA). This design follows five core steps: goal setting, task design, context driven, loop driven, and evaluative learning.

5 Conclusion

Emphasis was placed on the design principles and implementation process of ideological and political education in university foreign language courses based on the POA theory, and it was pointed out that teaching design should consider the school and student situation, and continuously optimize in practice. At the same time, it emphasizes that instructional design is not achieved overnight, and teachers need to choose and optimize from a wealth of ideological and political teaching materials. The article also mentioned the long-term nature and importance of ideological and political education in the curriculum, as well as the responsibility of teachers in cultivating students' values and cultural literacy.
