Abstract

Against the background of global scientific and technological competition and the national strategy of talent cultivation, STEM education has become an important direction for the reform of higher education, and the integration of College English courses with STEM education is an inevitable requirement to cultivate interdisciplinary talents with international competitiveness. This study aims to explore the effective path of integration and innovation between College English courses and STEM education, solve the problems of disconnection between English teaching and STEM professional needs, single teaching mode and insufficient cultivation of students' comprehensive literacy. Adopting the research methods of literature review, questionnaire survey and case analysis, this study first combs the relevant theories of STEM education and College English curriculum integration, then investigates the current situation of integration in several universities, analyzes the existing problems and their causes, and finally explores the integration and innovation strategies from the aspects of curriculum objectives, teaching content, teaching methods and evaluation system. The results show that the integration of STEM education into College English courses can effectively improve students' English application ability in professional fields, enhance their interdisciplinary thinking and innovative ability, and provide a theoretical and practical reference for the reform and development of College English courses in the context of STEM education.
