ABSTRACT

China’s international communication capability does not match the significant achievements it has made and the outstanding contributions it has made to the world. To address this contradiction, scholars majoring in international communication proposed the international communication approach of “telling China’s stories well.” The college English class has both advantages and challenges in telling China’s stories well. While striving to enhance teachers’ comprehensive humanistic literacy and improve students’ narrative abilities, it is also necessary to continue exploring scientific guidance for practicing “telling China’s stories well” in college English teaching; the application of multi-modal teaching methods; and the establishment of a systematic and comprehensive multivariate evaluation system at the evaluation level.
