Abstract
English writing is one of the essential language skills and a mandatory component of College English Tests band 4 and band 6 (CET4, CET6). The data-driven theory of corpus linguistics has advanced the teaching of foreign language writing. Integrating elements of moral cultivation into the teaching of college English writing is a vital component of the reform in college English education. The multilingual corpus platform of Xi Jinping: The Governance of China provides authentic and rich resources for integrating moral cultivation into college English courses, including vocabulary, reading, translation, and writing. Based on this platform, this paper explores the integration of ideological and political education into college English writing instruction through six stages: model text reading, text analysis, collaborative writing, independent writing, evaluation and feedback, and revision and finalization. With the support of the writing tool “iWrite” developed by Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press, this study aims to further promote the development of ideological and political education in college English writing courses.
