This research investigates the integration of ideological and political education with English teaching in higher education institutions, based on the core literacy framework of the English subject. With the growing importance of ideological education in China's educational reforms, this study explores how English language teaching can play a role in fostering students' political awareness, social responsibility, and cultural identity. The paper proposes strategies for embedding ideological education into English courses, including the selection of teaching materials, classroom activities, and language tasks. Through this integration, students not only enhance their language proficiency but also develop a deeper understanding of national values, global challenges, and their responsibilities as global citizens. The study emphasizes the importance of teacher preparation, curriculum design, and continuous evaluation in ensuring the success of this integration, aiming to create well-rounded individuals who are proficient in English and ideologically grounded.
