In the digital-intelligent era, traditional liberal arts education is undergoing profound paradigm changes. The integrated training of “technology + humanities” faces prominent problems such as superficial knowledge integration, fragmented competence system, and ambiguous value orientation. Based on the construction philosophy of new liberal arts, this paper constructs an “大-shaped” (Chinese character-inspired) integrated talent competence model and a dual-track curriculum system of L-BEST and AI-BEST, and conducts an empirical test taking the course Intelligent Text Processing as a case. Adhering to the student-centered concept and focusing on solving core problems, this research can provide theoretical reference and practical enlightenment for the transformation of traditional liberal arts majors.
