Abstract

Since the implementation of the Second Classroom Transcript (SCT) in 2018, universities across the country have continuously improved educational path of the second classroom based on their own characteristics, and carried out a joint education model between the first and second classrooms. However, problems such as emphasizing ideological and political education over professional talent cultivation, neglecting the construction of a differentiated second classroom system conformed to talent cultivation goals and disciplinary backgrounds, and failing to concern core literacy cultivation in disciplines, are widely presenting in practice. This is particularly evident for English normal students, for whom current second classroom practices primarily focus on language skills development, overlooking the integration of cultural awareness into the framework. To tackle these problems, this article attempts to construct an innovative practical path for embedding cultural awareness cultivation in the second classroom system, from four sections of ideological growth, social practice, professional skills, and cultural and sports activities, so as to improve English normal students’ cultural awareness of core literacy.
