Guangxi University of Chinese Medicine, Nanning, China
The internationalization of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) imposes comprehensive demands on the English proficiency of senior university students, encompassing linguistic skills, professional communication, and value-oriented competencies. However, traditional advanced English courses at TCM institutions such as Guangxi University of Chinese Medicine have long suffered from issues including poor professional relevance, rigid integration of ideological and political education, and superficial utilization of digital tools. This study employs the 32-hour “Advanced English Reading, Writing, and Translation” course as a practical platform, integrating outcome-based teaching methods with project-based learning principles for ideological and political education. Leveraging the Unipus Intelligent Teaching Platform and the Pigai English Writing Intelligent Grading Software, a three-dimensional teaching framework of “project-driven instruction—digital support—ideological and political integration” was developed. Focusing on two real-world projects—English translation of the 24 Solar Terms culture and scientific communication writing for health promotion—the evaluation system adopted a combination of “process assessment (60%) + final assessment (40%)”. Semester-long implementation demonstrated that the experimental class (n = 64) significantly outperformed the control class (n = 52) in translation accuracy, proper handling of culturally loaded terms, and self-assessment scores for cultural confidence. This paper outlines actionable reform strategies tailored to TCM institutions and constrained by limited class hours, while providing targeted recommendations for digital resource development and addressing faculty competency gaps.
