As a discipline of language, college English curriculum contains rich ideological concepts, humanistic spirit, and moral norms. In teaching, it plays an important role in guiding students' values and aligning with ideological and political courses to promote the fundamental task of moral education in higher education institutions. The principles of ideological and political education in college English curriculum should include value-oriented guidance, co-cultivation as the goal, and systematic instructional design for quality assurance. The improvement of college English curriculum in ideological and political education can be achieved through enhancing the ideological and political literacy of college English teachers, optimizing the instructional model, and effectively integrating ideological and political elements into college English textbooks.
