Ideological and Political Elements in Foreign Language Textbooks:A Case of Understanding Contemporary China

Jiahui Wang, Rong Liu

Abstract


This study evaluates ideological and political elements in foreign language textbooks via a multimodal framework. Taking Under
standing Contemporary China (English Series) as a case, it uses multimodal critical discourse analysis and Q methodology to explore element
distribution and teacher-student cognitive differences. Results reveal unbalanced modal coordination and biased cultural coding in textbooks,
plus four cognitive configurations with significant group proportional differences. It proposes a "modal coordination quantification - cognitive
configuration diagnosis - precise intervention generation" system, providing theoretical and practical guidance for foreign language curricu
lum-based ideological and political education.
