| Abstract: | In the context of China's ongoing educational reform, "Ke Cheng Si Zheng" mandates the integration of moral education into all academic disciplines. This study critically examines the historical evolution of incorporating moral education into English language instruction and explores previous research on this educational reform. Moral education encompasses moral, ideological, political, and cultural dimensions in this reform, which is aimed at fostering students' development. Although this integration has become a pivotal national strategy, prior research on its implementation in English teaching remains fragmented and under-reviewed. This study employs a qualitative approach to investigate the research on the reform from 2014 to the present. It identifies the historical development and the research on this educational reform in China, while also analyzing gaps and challenges in existing scholarly work. By synthesizing the history and research, this paper advances the understanding of Ke Cheng Si Zheng's role in China's foreign language planning. |
