Big Culture Community and New Theme-based Teaching (abbreviate as BCCNTT) is an instructional approach centered around the theme of a discourse, employing foreign language as a medium to explore, compare cultural phenomena and trace the root of making cultural phenomena similarities in differences or differences in similarities. The main ideologies of BCCNTT include double subjects, the collision of unfamiliar knowledge, and a focus on critical thinking. This approach emphasizes considering learners' living environment, developmental needs and conditions while reflecting the humanistic and utilitarian nature of language science. It aims to fulfill the requirements of foreign language education in cultivating students' language aesthetics, culture awareness, thinking ability and inquiry ability. The interaction of unfamiliar knowledge in the teacher-student dynamic facilitates the mutual growth of both parties, helping students construct a holistic and dynamic perspective of culture and knowledge while continuously engaging in thought-provoking exchanges. Guided by these ideologies, BCCNTT encompasses various elements, such as the interaction of students and teachers, the integration of curriculum content and extracurricular materials, the combination of in-class and out-of-class tasks, the integration of Chinese and foreign cultures, and the dialogue between Chinese and foreign cultures. Nonetheless, it is essential to design the teaching process based on principles that foster the integration of thematic knowledge, language, culture, critical thinking, curiosity, and create room for independent exploration.
