Abstract

With the continuous development of social economy, science and technology level, the new era has put forward new requirements for talent cultivation. School education bears the important task of cultivating the new man of the age, and the key part of cultivating the new man of the age is moral education. Moral education is the core part of school education, which plays a central role in shaping students' concepts and their growth and success. Secondary school students are in the critical period of the formation of thinking concepts and consciousness, which is also the best period for the development of moral education. Therefore, strengthening moral education in schools and promoting the construction of students' moral education have become the focus of educators' common concern. In the context of the new era, moral education is not only the task of a certain subject, but all subjects need to explore the favourable factors of the subject and play an effective role in moral education. English teaching should also integrate the elements of moral education, enrich the curriculum content, and promote the overall development of students. This paper analyses the connotation and challenges of moral education permeating junior high school English teaching in the context of the new era, and proposes measures for integrating moral education in junior high school English in five aspects, namely, goal establishment, activity design, resource supplementation, students' practice, and evaluation of moral education, with a view to improving students' moral qualities and implementing the fundamental task of establishing morality and educating people.
