Based on Four-Dimensional Spiritual Culture: Constructing and Implementing a Student Management System for Higher Vocational Students
Research on Teaching Strategies for Junior High School English Classes under Core Competencies
The "Compulsory Education English Curriculum Standards (2022 Edition)" clearly states that the core competencies of the English subject encompass four dimensions: language ability, cultural awareness, thinking quality, and learning ability. These are the concentrated manifestations of the educational value of the English curriculum. The junior high school stage is a crucial transitional period for students' English learning. Currently, there are still problems in junior high school English classrooms such as emphasizing knowledge while neglecting qualities, and emphasizing form while neglecting effectiveness. This article, based on teaching practice, proposes three simple and feasible teaching strategies: immersive situation-based, task-driven, and hierarchical progressive. It integrates core competencies into the entire teaching process, optimizes the classroom model, and helps students achieve all-round development, achieving the unity of the instrumental and humanistic nature of the English subject.
Narrative Painting in the East and West: Structural Divergence and Contemporary Relevance
This paper examines the similarities and differences between Chinese and Western narrative painting within the contemporary image-saturated cultural context, focusing on their visual language, structural logic, and cultural functions. It traces the distinct developmental trajectories of both traditions: Western painting evolved from religious narratives to individual expression, ultimately ceding dominance to abstraction, while Chinese narrative painting, influenced by philosophical and societal shifts, developed its own characteristics, particularly a strong secular and collective focus from the Song and Yuan dynasties onwards. The comparative analysis highlights key structural differences: Western painting often employs a fixed, dramatic moment and focal perspective, emphasizing individual heroes, whereas Chinese painting utilizes a flowing, multi-perspective "scenic stroll" approach and often depicts collective scenes. The paper also explores brief historical convergences, such as artistic exchanges during the Qing dynasty, and concludes by reflecting on the potential relevance of narrative painting in countering historical nihilism in the contemporary era, where abstraction prevails. The main critique points to a need for greater academic rigor, clearer research questions, and formal citations.
This article explores the profound impact of technological development on music education. It points out that since the 1980s, driven by government initiatives, computer and telecommunications-based technologies have been gradually integrated into the education system. This integration has prompted a shift in teaching methodology from teacher-centred knowledge transmission to a student-led framework for exploration primarily facilitated by technological tools. This study defines "music technology" as a broad conceptual domain, whose scope is not limited to digital software (e.g., Soundplant, Audacity) but also encompasses long-standing auxiliary tools such as pitch forks and pianos. Research indicates that the application of music technology has significantly influenced music education. For instance, it makes learning more intuitive through recording and analysis technologies (from phonographs to simulation systems); it stimulates student creativity and fosters unexpected inspiration through exploratory activities; and it promotes interdisciplinary collaboration and a transformation of teacher and student roles through projects like 'live coding'. In the process of utilizing these new technologies, the role of the teacher also shifts, increasingly becoming that of a supervisor and co-learner in the learning process. Furthermore, technological advancements create pathways for more individuals to learn music more effectively, as exemplified by the "Plug IT" project, which assists individuals with disabilities in participating in music creation, thereby broadening the inclusivity of music. In summary, technology serves as an empowering tool that not only optimizes teaching effectiveness and extends the horizons of possibility and creativity within music education but also enables both educators and learners to discover their individualized insights amid exploratory pursuits.
Research on the Language Representation of Power Dynamics in Business Negotiation Discourse
Under the background of economic globalization, business negotiations hold a crucial position. The dynamics of power influence the direction of negotiations, and language is its core carrier. This study explores the language representation rules and optimization strategies of power dynamics in business negotiation discourse through case analysis. The research first sorts out the theories, clarifying that the sources of power are diverse and have evolved from the traditional fixed structure mainly based on economic strength to a complex form influenced by information technology and cross-cultural factors in modern times. Then, analyze the representation from the three aspects of vocabulary, syntax and pragmatics: strong words show power superiority, while vague words indicate power weakness. The choice of sentence structure and voice is related to the level of power and intention. Verbal acts and conversational strategies reflect power struggles and strategic planning. Analyze the influencing factors such as the subject's traits, propose corresponding strategies, and point out the future research directions.

Research on the Development of English Pragmatic Competence from the Perspective of Cross-Cultural Communication
Application Exploration of Integrated "Reading-Lecturing-Writing" Teaching Method in College Russian Language Teaching: Comprehensive Expressive Ability Development
Against the backdrop of a shift in college Russian teaching from knowledge transmission to the cultivation of comprehensive competence, Russian courses designed for students planning to study abroad place greater emphasis on the coordinated development of practical language use, cross-cultural communication, and adaptation to academic life. Traditional teaching approaches centered on vocabulary explanation, grammar drills, and text translation can no longer meet the demands of study-abroad-oriented Russian instruction, which requires students to be able to read with understanding, express themselves orally, write effectively, and respond to real-life situations. Based on this context, this paper takes The Way to Russia series, a textbook widely used for study-abroad-oriented Russian instruction, as its primary teaching material. It focuses in particular on the adaptability of this method to study-abroad-oriented Russian teaching and, through representative texts such as Red Square in Moscow, explores the practical application of segmented text explanation, key vocabulary annotation, immediate interactive exercises, and digital tool-assisted instruction. The study shows that the integrated "reading-speaking-writing" approach can effectively promote students' transition from the accumulation of linguistic knowledge to contextualized oral and written output, and thus has positive significance for enhancing the practicality, systematicity, and adaptability of Russian courses.

From Static to Adaptive: Evaluating the Efficacy of AI-Powered Personalized Learning Pathways in Integrated English Skills Development
This study investigates the efficacy of AI-powered adaptive learning platforms in enhancing integrated English skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing) among non-English major undergraduates in China. Moving beyond the static, one-size-fits-all model of traditional instruction, the research examines whether personalized learning pathways generated by AI algorithms can lead to superior learning outcomes and engagement compared to conventional methods. A mixed-methods approach was employed, involving a 16-week quasi-experimental study with a control group (n=60) receiving standard instruction and an experimental group (n=60) using an AI-powered adaptive learning platform (a customized module integrating diagnostic assessments, personalized content, and intelligent feedback). Quantitative data included pre- and post-tests of integrated skills and platform usage logs. Qualitative data were gathered from student interviews and reflective journals. Results indicated a statistically significant improvement in the post-test scores of the experimental group, particularly in listening and writing skills. Analysis of engagement metrics and qualitative feedback revealed higher levels of motivation, self-directed learning behavior, and perceived usefulness among students in the experimental condition. The study concludes that AI-powered personalization presents a viable and effective strategy for addressing learner diversity in College English, though its success hinges on thoughtful pedagogical integration and ongoing teacher facilitation. Challenges regarding over-reliance on technology and the need for holistic skill integration are discussed.

Research on the Practical Path of "Integration of Teaching, Learning, and Doing" in School Physical Education from the Perspective of "Life-Practice" Education
From the perspective of "Life-Practice" education, this study aims to solve the disconnection between school physical education and students' daily life, as well as the over-emphasis on skill training and neglect of practical education. Based on Tao Xingzhi's educational thought and "Life-Practice" education theory, this research constructs a practical model of "integration of teaching, learning, and doing" for school physical education from three dimensions: integrating life-oriented sports scenarios, designing practice-based teaching processes, and establishing a six-competencies evaluation system. The results show that this model connects theoretical teaching with real-life application, improves students' physical literacy, and provides a feasible path for the integration of "Life-Practice" education into school physical education.
Construction of a "Three-Dimensional Integration" Model for Curriculum Ideological and Political Education in Macroeconomics
Curriculum ideological and political education has become an important requirement in undergraduate teaching reform in China. As a core foundational course for economics and management majors, Macroeconomics contains rich value-oriented resources because it deals with national income, employment, inflation, growth, and macroeconomic regulation. Yet in actual teaching, ideological and political elements are often added in a fragmented way, resulting in weak relevance, limited student engagement, and insufficient assessment support. To address this problem, this paper proposes a "three-dimensional integration" model for Macroeconomics teaching from the dimensions of teaching content, teaching process, and teaching evaluation. The study argues that effective curriculum ideological and political education should not rely on temporary insertion of policy discourse, but should be embedded in concept explanation, case discussion, and learning assessment in a coordinated manner. On this basis, the paper further discusses the practical paths of implementation, including chapter-based element mapping, case-oriented classroom organization, and diversified evaluation design. The proposed model provides an operable framework for improving the teaching quality of Macroeconomics and strengthening its educational function.

An Innovative Study of Pathways Toward High-Quality Development of Ideological and Political Education in Higher Education Institutions in the New Era
High-quality development of Ideological and Political Education (IPE) in higher education institutions is a crucial means for implementing the fundamental task of fostering virtue and cultivating talent in the new era. Currently, the high-quality development of IPE in China's universities faces a series of challenges, including a disconnection between educational content and students' practical needs, a single approach to teaching, fragmentation of educational resources, and inadequacies in evaluation mechanisms. This paper, grounded in a holistic educational philosophy and the perspective of educational modernization, systematically analyzes the multidimensional dilemmas in the highquality development of IPE. It proposes innovative pathways from six aspects: deepening the student-centered educational philosophy, advancing the integration of ideological and political education with disciplinary curricula, building a synergistic education ecosystem, empowering education with smart technology, improving evaluation mechanisms, and strengthening faculty development. The study suggests that to achieve high-quality development, universities must further innovate in educational concepts, methods, and systems. This includes leveraging emerging technologies, optimizing educational processes, and deepening collaborative education, thereby enhancing the appeal, effectiveness, and sustainability of IPE. This research provides valuable theoretical insights and practical references for the high-quality development of ideological and political education in higher education institutions.

The"Teacher Professional Ethics"course serves as an essential platform for the cultivation of teachers' professional ethics among students majoring in education. Currently, this course often suffers from problems such as excessive content, cognitive overload, and disconnection between knowledge and action. Based on the cognitive load theory as the analytical framework, this paper diagnoses the current imbalance of cognitive load in this course and proposes to enhance learning efficiency by regulating three types of cognitive loads: internal, external, and related. It suggests reform paths in five aspects: content reorganization, teaching design, activity optimization, evaluation reform, and technology empowerment. This aims to reduce ineffective loads and optimize effective loads, promoting the course teaching from "knowledge memorization" to "value internalization and behavioral consciousness", and improving the effectiveness of education.

The Impact of Transformational Leadership and Learning Organizations on the Adoption of Comprehensive Quality Management in Vocational Institutions in China
The adoption of Comprehensive Quality Management (TQM) in China's vocational schools is a priority for improving education and meeting labor market demands. However, little is known about how transformational leadership and learning organization characteristics affect TQM adoption in this context. The combined effects of transformational leadership and learning organizations on TQM adoption in Chinese vocational colleges are examined in this study. The quantitative, cross-sectional study is based on Bass's transformational leadership theory and Senge's learning organization framework. A random sample of 397 administrators and faculty from Shandong Province vocational schools in China completed a custom questionnaire. The hypothesized relationships were tested using descriptive statistics, correlation, and multiple regression. Results show that transformational leadership and learning organization characteristics positively impact TQM adoption. Transformational leadership and learning organizations together influence TQM adoption more than either alone. These findings demonstrate the need for transformational leadership and learning organization capabilities to implement TQM in Chinese vocational education.

Precise Identification, Scientific Response, and Systemic Support: Practical Dilemmas and Optimization Paths for Responsive Caregiving in Nursery Classes
Responsive caregiving is a crucial component of high-quality care and education in nursery classes. It serves as a vital pathway for implementing the philosophy of "Life as Education" and is a key measure for promoting the formation of secure attachment and social development in infants and children aged 0-3. Against the backdrop of the rapid development of integrated nursery-kindergarten systems, responsive caregiving in nursery classes still faces numerous challenges: insufficient adaptability due to obvious individual differences among children, deviations in interpreting needs due to weak expressive abilities, and a lack of scientific rigor in responses caused by simplistic conflict resolution methods. Focusing on "precise identification, scientific response, and systemic support, " this paper explores three dimensions: personalized response, needs identification and interpretation, and the scientific handling of conflicts. It proposes safeguard strategies from three levels: enhancing teachers' professional literacy, constructing on-campus support systems, and strengthening home-school collaboration mechanisms. These strategies aim to resolve the current issues of "hollowness, homogenization, and low efficiency" in responsive caregiving, enhance the academic rigor and operability of caregiving practices, and provide theoretical references and practical solutions for the implementation of high-quality responsive caregiving.
AI-Empowered "Integration of Basic and Professional English" Teaching Model in Business Schools
Against the backdrop of the deep integration of basic and professional education in higher vocational colleges, traditional business English teaching in business schools (especially those focusing on shipping economics and management) faces prominent challenges, namely the disconnection between basic English skills and professional application, and the lack of authentic business communication contexts closely related to the shipping industry. These issues not only restrict the improvement of students' comprehensive English application ability but also hinder the cultivation of compound business talents with cross-cultural communication capabilities, professional literacy, and industry practice ability who can meet the needs of the maritime industry. This research and practice proposal, based on the educational and teaching reform project of Jiangsu Maritime Institute, focuses on constructing an AI-empowered "Integration of Basic and Professional English" teaching model to address the aforementioned dilemmas. By leveraging AI technologies such as dynamic content generation, adaptive learning pathways, and immersive simulations, the proposal reconstructs the curriculum framework based on the "Three-Dimensional Integration" model proposed by Li, M. & Chen, L. (2023) and builds the EconLingAI teaching platform with multiple functional modules tailored to the shipping economic management major cluster[1].

Predicting Academic Buoyancy in English Majors: The Roles of Academic Procrastination and Performance
Purpose: This study explores the predictive effect of English majors' academic procrastination and performance on buoyancy, aiming to clarify their psychological adaptation mechanism in the face of daily academic challenges. Method: The participants were 150 English majors from J University. A structured questionnaire was used to obtain data on academic procrastination, performance, and buoyancy. Subsequently, descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were used to test the relationship between variables and predictive power among variables. Result: Correlation analysis indicated a significant negative relationship between academic procrastination and buoyancy. However, multiple regression analysis revealed that the three dimensions of procrastination did not demonstrate significant independent predictive effects. Conversely, the dimensions of academic performance showed substantial predictive power. Academic performance emerged as the strongest predictor, while learning context and motivation intensity also exerted significant positive effects on buoyancy. Conclusion: The results show that for English majors, academic buoyancy is mainly cultivated through successful learning experience, optimal adaptation to the learning environment and stable learning motivation, not just by reducing procrastination. Therefore, educational intervention should shift from simple behavior modification to comprehensive psychological buoyancy training, focusing on dynamic monitoring, differentiated support.

Research on the Design and Implementation of Cross-cultural Tasks in High School English from the Perspective of Core Literacy
This study, based on the requirements of the new curriculum standards, explores the design and implementation of cross-cultural tasks in high school English under the core literacy orientation. The study constructs a cross-cultural task design framework that integrates four dimensions of language competence, cultural awareness, thinking quality and learning ability, and proposes four types of tasks: cognitive, experiential, inquiry-based and creative. Based on the People's Education Edition of high school English textbooks, systematically explore comparative materials of Chinese and foreign cultures, develop cross-cultural task case collections suitable for different school stages, and incorporate elements of Beijiang culture and local excellent culture. The study designed a three-stage implementation process of "pre-task-in-task-post-task-", proposed implementation strategies such as teacher scaffolding construction, student independent exploration, and differentiated support, and constructed a multi-evaluation system including self-evaluation, peer evaluation, and teacher evaluation. The research results provide an operational practice path for cross-cultural teaching of high school English and promote the effective implementation of core competencies in the subject.
The Integration of Artificial Intelligence and Practical Teaching in Vocational Education: Mechanism and Framework
Against the backdrop of global industrial digital transformation and China's national strategy of educational digitalization, practical teaching, as the core carrier reflecting the typological characteristics of vocational education, serves as a key link connecting talent cultivation and industrial demand. However, it currently faces widespread structural dilemmas including limited situational boundaries, insufficient personalized guidance, lack of process-oriented evaluation systems, and inadequate integration between industry and education. The iterative upgrading of artificial intelligence (AI) offers new possibilities to solve these problems. Nevertheless, existing studies mostly focus on scenario-based explorations of technical applications, lack systematic explanations of the internal mechanism of integrating AI and practical teaching in vocational education, and have not yet formed a theoretical framework that conforms to the law of vocational skill formation and possesses both universality and operability. Supported by vocational skill formation theory, constructivist learning theory, the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework, and empowerment theory, this study clarifies the core connotation of integrating AI and practical teaching in vocational education, systematically deconstructs the internal operation mechanism of their integration, reveals the hierarchical evolution law of the integration process, and further constructs a systematic integration framework covering core objectives, main modules, implementation links and guarantee systems. This study not only enriches the theoretical system of digital transformation of vocational education, but also provides an implementable blueprint for vocational colleges to promote the reform of AI-enabled practical teaching.

Avoiding the "Pragmatism" Trap in School-Enterprise Cooperation: Constructing Moral Education Pathways in "Cooperative Teaching" in Vocational Colleges
School-enterprise "cooperative teaching" is not only a vital approach to expanding students' professional practical abilities, enhancing vocational technical skills, and strengthening employment competitiveness but also a significant pathway for moral education. However, under the market mechanism, school-enterprise cooperation often falls into the "pragmatism" trap, focusing primarily on the training of "practical" vocational skills while relegating moral education practices to a mere formality. Based on this, this paper first analyzes the multiple connotations of "cooperative teaching" in vocational colleges, clarifying that "cooperation" encompasses collaborative school management, teaching, and moral education. Subsequently, it examines the "pragmatism" trap encountered in the cooperative teaching process and its detrimental effects. Finally, the paper proposes strategies for constructing moral education pathways in school-enterprise "cooperative teaching" from the perspectives of management, implementation, and assessment. Guided by the goal of students' comprehensive development in moral, intellectual, and physical aspects, the paper advocates for the integration of professional practical teaching with moral education to ensure that "cooperative teaching" ultimately achieves the goal of "holistic education."
