Abstract: At present, there are some problems in colleges and universities, such as insufficient emphasis on

ideological and political courses, less ideological and political teaching content and lack of teaching

resources. In view of these situations, this paper builds a college English ideological and political course

assistance system with Windows 10.0 as the operating system, C# as the programming language, Visual

Studio 2019 as the bottom development tool, SQL server database to store system data, and aspx function

pages under the function modules, so as to improve the detailed functions of each module of the system.

Finally, MVC hierarchical model is adopted to improve the system. The purpose of this system is to

combine college English with ideological and political education, to achieve the organic unity of

instrumental and humanistic language education, to further improve the teaching system, to enrich teaching

resources, to innovate teaching methods, and to cultivate all-round comprehensive foreign language talents.

1 INTRODUCTION

With the development of the Internet era and the

progress of science and technology, the exchange of

ideas between countries has become closer and

closer, and various western thoughts have flooded

into our country, which has played a certain impact

on our traditional spiritual civilization and

threatened our national ideology. (Xia, 2019) While

contemporary college students are in a critical period

of thinking development, colleges and universities,

as educational implementation bases, should give

students active guidance, offer ideological and

political courses that meet the actual needs, and

cultivate all-round socialist builders and successors.

Combining the current background of the times with

the teaching characteristics of ideological and

political education in curriculum, we should

organically integrate college English with

ideological and political education in curriculum,

clarify the value of the times, deeply understand the

basic connotation of ideological and political

education in curriculum, and promote the practical

exploration of ideological and political education in

curriculum at multiple levels. In college English

teaching, we need to do the following. First, we

should establish the fundamental educational goal of

ideological and political education in college

English course. Secondly, we should guide college

students to explore western culture with a critical

eye. Finally, students need to strengthen the national

self-confidence of college students by studying

ideological and political education in college

English courses. However, at present, there are still

the following problems in carrying out ideological

and political education. Firstly, at present, colleges

and universities pay insufficient attention to

ideological and political education, and the

ideological and political education only stays on the

surface of knowledge, ignoring the educational

function of ideological and political education.

Secondly, the teaching resources of ideological and

political education are relatively old, and the

teaching form is relatively single, which leads to

students' low interest and poor learning

effectiveness. Finally, the teaching system needs to

be improved, the assessment methods are relatively

solid, and the offline open-book examination alone

can't accurately assess students' comprehensive

level, which is not conducive to students' cognitive

development.

Based on the above problems, this paper

constructs a web-based ideological and political

assistant teaching system for college English

courses. The construction of the auxiliary teaching

system mentioned in this article mainly uses

Windows 10.0 as the operating system, Visual

Studio 2019 as the bottom development tool, C# as

the programming language, and another aspx

function page under the function modules, so as to

improve the detailed functions of the system

modules, and then complete the hierarchical design

according to MVC mode to improve the system. In

terms of data storage, the system adopts SQL server

database for management, so as to save query time

and improve operation efficiency. The system

selects IIS 11.0 version of web server, which makes

the platform construction more efficient and safe.

2 INTRODUCTION OF KEY

TECHNOLOGIES

2.1 Web Technology

Web is a very large-scale distributed system running

on the Internet. That is, every data information

exchange of users needs the cooperation between the

client and the server. Web technology is the general

name of all technologies that support Web operation.

The five elements of Web technology are HTML,

HTTP, URL, Web browser and Web server. HTML

defines the presentation format of hypertext

documents, HTTP solves the problem of

communication between the client browser and the

server, and URL solves the problem of naming and

addressing identification of documents. (Ding, 2005)

These three technologies are collectively called the

three major construction technologies of the Web.

According to the functional attributes, it can be

divided into two categories, namely client-side

technology and server-side technology.

2.2 B/S Structure

B/S structure is a browser/server structure, which

needs to be deployed on the server side. Other

software needed to access the website and run on the

client side only needs to adopt the browser. In the

B/S framework, users express their needs at the

client and input corresponding parameters, and then

rely on the network to access the server. First, the

logic layer solves the user's needs, then the data

needs are transmitted to the database, and the

specific content is executed by the server. Finally,

the business logic layer accepts this kind of feedback

information, thus generating a web page that meets

the user's needs. It can be seen that the logic of client

and server in B/S structure is more concise and

clear, and data processing can be more efficient. The

specific process of B/S operation is shown in Figure

Figure 1: B/S operation flow chart

2.3 Asp.Net

ASP.NET is a kind of Web development platform,

which provides an overall programming framework

for the subsequent development of the platform, is

the infrastructure used for development, and also

provides various required services for web

programs. ASP.NET relies on HTTP protocol, and

uses HTTP commands to set up two-way

communication between browser and server. (Wang,

2019) ASP.Net can also realize caching, which

updates the performance of some applications, and

then caches frequently used pages of users and

stores them in temporary locations, which can

retrieve these pages more quickly and give better

feedback to users.

2.4 MVC

MVC is one of the programming modes in

ASP.NET, and it is a special mode for creating Web

applications. MVC layering helps to manage

complicated program applications, and programmers

can pay attention to one aspect for a long time.

Besides, MVC layering can also focus on view

design without relying on logical business, making it

easier to test program applications. The construction

of this platform takes MVC pattern as the whole

NMDME 2022 - The International Conference on New Media Development and Modernized Education

106

framework structure, and the development and

creation are based on component-based layered

development technology. Distributed multi-layer

technology is an important development technology

to create this platform. Using this technology can

effectively realize the functions of the traditional

pattern, and it has certain advantages in scalability

and maintainability of the platform.

2.5 Development Process

According to the introduction of the above related

technical content, we can complete the configuration

and deployment of the development process of the

ideological and political assistant teaching system of

college English course based on Web technology. In

order to improve the function of college English

course ideological and political assistant teaching

system, this system will be constructed by using

ASP.NET and other related technologies. The

bottom development tool is Visual Studio 2019, and

the operating system is based on Windows 10.0.

Choose IIS version 10.0 for the web server to

improve the operation ability of the server. Select

SQL server 2019 as the data storage tool.

During the research and development of the

platform, first, choose Visual Studio 2019 tool in the

menu, create the required project in the File section

under the file, and select ASP.NET Web in the

application. Then, after the configuration attributes

and paths of the newly created project are preset,

click Next, select MVC in the pop-up window and

name it, and you can create the MVC project in

ASP.NET to carry out the follow-up compilation of

the college English course ideological and political

assistant teaching system. After the specific

functional modules are configured, simulation

testing is required. After there is no error, publish

the generated website to IIS, then create a new

website project in IIS, select the advanced settings in

the management website page, and select the

physical path. After the basic configuration is

completed, the college English course ideological

and political assistant teaching system can be

constructed. In the process of designing and

realizing the specific functions of the system, the

overall functional system of the system will be built

according to the procedures of login, use and exit.

For example, when users log in for the first time,

they need to use User Add.aspx to add user pages. If

they want to use the courseware sharing function of

teachers after logging in, they need to use

coursewareadd.aspx to add and upload new

courseware. The uploaded courseware can be

queried in their personal space. (Hao, 2021) Click on

the upper right corner to exit after using it. Through

the description of the above key technologies, we

have roughly planned the overall framework of the

auxiliary teaching system, and made clear the

feasibility of establishing the auxiliary teaching

system for ideological and political education in

college English courses.

3 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

ANALYSIS

In May, 2020, the Ministry of Education issued the

Guiding Outline of Ideological and Political

Construction in Colleges and Universities, which

clearly stated that it is necessary to

"comprehensively promote ideological and political

construction in colleges and universities, give full

play to the educational role of each course, and

improve the quality of talent cultivation in colleges

and universities". The construction of new liberal

arts aims to promote the exchange and integration of

various subjects in colleges and universities, so as to

innovate traditional knowledge and form theoretical

ideas in line with the new era. In the construction of

new liberal arts, it is also proposed to focus on the

shaping of foreign language professionals, so as to

enhance China's discourse expression ability in the

international community and strengthen China's

cultural soft power. As a public basic course in

colleges and universities, college English should

give full play to its own advantages and actively

integrate into innovation. Taking college English as

the carrier, this system organically integrates the

instrumental function of improving students'

comprehensive English ability with the humanistic

function of cultivating students' political thoughts,

so that students can become compound foreign

language talents with feelings of home and country

and international vision.

The Web-based auxiliary teaching system for

ideological and political education in college

English courses aims at cultivating students' political

thinking ability and English application ability.

When users use the system for the first time, they

first need to complete the user registration according

to the relevant guidance given by the page, and then

they can log in to the system for subsequent

operations. This system divides users into two types:

students and teachers. In the student side, it is

mainly divided into the following modules:

autonomous learning module, practical course

Construction of College English Ideological and Political Assistant Teaching System Based on Web Technology

107

exchange module and online testing module. With

the help of these modules, students can start

autonomous learning. Different from ordinary linear

learning, students can choose learning content

according to their own needs and interests, which

greatly mobilizes their learning enthusiasm. On the

teacher side, teachers' functions are more inclined to

collect and upload online teaching resources, and

organize and guide teaching activities. It can also be

divided into three parts: resource management

module, online Q&A module and comprehensive

evaluation module. The construction of auxiliary

teaching system has alleviated the teaching pressure

of teachers to a certain extent and improved the

ideological and political teaching system of college

English course. It also systematically integrates the

specific requirements of socialist core values,

China's excellent traditional culture, revolutionary

culture, advanced socialist culture, Socialism with

Chinese characteristics's achievements and other

contents into the daily teaching of college English,

strengthens the connection between all links in the

whole teaching process, and forms a comprehensive,

dynamic and systematic closed loop of college

English ideological and political education.

4 FUNCTION REALIZATION

4.1 Teacher Side

4.1.1 Resource Upload Module

In order to accomplish the fundamental task of

ideological and political education, teachers should

give sufficient impetus. First of all, in terms of

instructional design, the integration of Chinese

traditional culture and English courses should be

appropriately increased. For example, Unit4

Festivals in the new edition of Advanced College

English Audio-visual and Speaking Course II mainly

introduces foreign festivals, Mud Festival and

Tomato Festival, and teachers can insert Chinese

traditional festivals such as Spring Festival and

Water-Splashing Festival in courseware design for

comparative study. (Yang, 2020) Then, from the

perspective of teaching methods, teachers can make

use of the richness and convenience of network

resources to innovate the existing teaching methods,

for example, teaching in the form of dialogue in

reading, and dividing students into two groups

according to the teaching content, so as to

experience the author's feelings in deduction, and

then guide students to expand what they have

learned, and combine the content in the article with

the actual life to achieve the purpose of combining

learning with thinking. Finally, teachers upload

courseware to the system for students to learn, and

students can adjust their learning progress according

to their own learning situation to cultivate their self-

learning ability. The resource upload code is shown

in Figure 2.

Figure 2: Courseware resources upload code

4.1.2 Online Q&A Module

The ideological and political course itself has a

certain significance of the times, and it keeps

developing with the passage of time, so it is still

difficult and complicated to understand. It is

inevitable that students will have doubts in the

process of practice and study. Using this system,

teachers can get in touch with students in time and

discuss solutions to problems together.

4.1.3 Comprehensive Evaluation Module

Because the combination of college English and

ideological and political education can't

comprehensively evaluate students' learning process

and results in a single way, this system changes the

evaluation methods, and combines the process

evaluation with the summative evaluation to form a

multidimensional evaluation method, so as to meet

the actual teaching needs and pay attention to the

internalization and extension of ideological and

political education in college English courses. The

establishment of this module not only improves the

authenticity and effectiveness of the evaluation of

ideological and political education in college

English courses, but also gradually improves the

overall evaluation system of ideological and political

education in college English courses.

4.2 Student Side

4.2.1 Self-Directed Learning Module

The purpose of this module is to cultivate students'

self-study ability, and students can conduct non-

linear free learning according to their own needs.

Students need to register when logging in to this

system for the first time. Students can complete the

registration according to the instructions in the page,

and then they can start the follow-up activities after

logging in. Visitors who have not logged in can only

browse the extracurricular extension module, but

cannot implement specific operations. The

autonomous learning module can be divided into the

following three parts in detail: basic knowledge

learning, professional ability training and

extracurricular expansion. In the basic knowledge

learning module, compulsory textbooks are the main

learning content. Students can adjust their learning

progress according to their actual learning situation,

and they can also learn with the help of courseware

materials uploaded by teachers. The implementation

code is shown in Figure 3. In the module of

professional ability training, ideological and moral

education is interspersed with the training of

students' listening, speaking, reading and writing

abilities. Most of the learning contents are

interwoven with domestic and foreign cultures,

which enhances students' cultural self-confidence in

a subtle way. The extended module includes the

English version of the party and government report,

the world current affairs guide, etc. Learning this

module can not only improve students' professional

knowledge and ability, but also enrich students'

current affairs thinking and broaden their

international horizons.

4.2.2 Practical Course Communication

Module

Teaching for college students should be put into

practice, and students' learning achievements should

be tested by practice. In this module, students can

actively participate in all kinds of ideological and

political education activities organized by teachers,

and rely on science and technology to complete all

kinds of expanding practice, so as to deepen their

learning and understanding of ideological and

political content in college English courses. Students

can post offline homework practice results, reading

experience or learning sentiment to the personal

center for other users to comment on. Students'

confusion in practice can be communicated with

teachers in time with the help of online

communication function, which improves the

efficiency of problem solving.

4.2.3 Online Test Module

This system also has a question bank function, in

which students can choose chapters and knowledge

points according to the self-examination and self-test

module in the question bank, and adjust the

difficulty of the test paper according to their own

learning level. After the selection, the system will

automatically generate a self-test paper. Students can

use this system to improve themselves and have a

clearer understanding of their learning level. After

submitting the test paper, the system will

automatically correct it, mark the wrong questions

and feed them back to the students' personal center

to generate a collection. The students' self-test scores

will also be automatically ranked, and the score

curves will be generated, and each test will be

analyzed, so that students can know their

weaknesses in time and consolidate them. Students'

final grades are comprehensively evaluated by their

practical academic grades, their usual grades and

their online test scores, so as to promote their all-

round development.

5 CONCLUSIONS

As a key part of the reform of ideological and

political education in colleges and universities,

curriculum ideological and political education must

attract the attention of the public. However, how to

improve the ideological and moral cultivation of

college students and cultivate their good moral

character still needs further exploration. In view of

Construction of College English Ideological and Political Assistant Teaching System Based on Web Technology

109

how to cultivate comprehensive applied talents with

all-round development under the background of new

liberal arts, it is impossible to solve the problem

only by relying on individual course teaching. The

auxiliary teaching system of ideological and political

education for college English courses based on web

technology in this paper integrates ideological and

political education into English teaching, and

innovates the single teaching method. It can improve

students' ideological accomplishment while

cultivating their English level, so that students can

become applied foreign language talents with both

ability and political integrity. In the follow-up

research, we will further expand the extensibility

and applicability of the system, and make the system

function more perfect.
