Innovations and Practices in Teaching Military English under Situational Simulation

Abstract

Military English is a general education course of science and culture offered by our university, which is crucial for cultivating the humanistic literacy of military academy cadets and their capabilities for foreign military exchanges. In response to the needs of national strategic development and educational reform in the new era, the course takes "combat-oriented teaching" as the basic guideline to achieve the construction goal of "language embedded with combat effectiveness"; takes "human-machine collaboration" as the fundamental concept to achieve the reform goal of "language learning assisted by intelligence"; and takes "simulated interaction" as the experimental channel to achieve the innovation goal of "context becoming reality". Teaching innovations have strengthened the military characteristics of the course, formed a new ecological model of foreign language learning featuring "human-machine collaboration", and created a new teaching paradigm of "foreign language + virtual simulation".
