ABSTRACT

The course of "College English Listening, Speaking and Viewing" aims to enhance students' listening skills while improving their ability to describe local cultures and phenomena in English. In response to common problems such as weak learning motivation and the separation of listening and speaking among students, this study attempts to apply the ARCS Motivation Theory, establish local cultural features related to the content of the text, and formulate online and offline teaching plans to cultivate students’ learning motivation and their ability to tell stories about their hometowns in English, thereby enhancing their sense of patriotism and cultural confidence.
