"Cultural Consensus and Value Guidance" — Innovative Teaching of Integrating Ideological and Political Education into Intercultural Communication Courses

With the acceleration of globalization, intercultural communication courses are faced with the challenge of effectively integrating ideological and political education (IPE) while fostering students' intercultural communication skills. This paper, centered on the theme of "cultural consensus and value guidance", explores innovative teaching practices and outcomes in integrating IPE into intercultural communication courses. The research delves into course design, teaching method optimization, and case analysis, extracting cultural connotations and value orientations within the curriculum, thus organically incorporating IPE into intercultural communication teaching. Specifically, the study focuses on dual objectives of "cultural consensus" and "value guidance", constructing an interactive classroom centered around students. It designs teaching modules based on social hot topics, classic cases, and cultural comparisons, emphasizing the integration of multicultural understanding and the recognition of Chinese culture. Through teaching practices, the model has proven effective in enhancing students' cultural confidence, ability to discern values, and intercultural communication competence. It provides a feasible path for the integration of IPE and professional courses, offering valuable reference for cultivating talents with international perspectives and national sentiment.
