The Application of Knowledge Graph in the Curriculum Construction of College English Course

Abstract

In the era of rapid information technology development, curriculum construction in education faces new challenges and opportunities. Knowledge graph, a sophisticated semantic network, can effectively integrate and present knowledge in a highly structured manner, which offers a new perspective to teaching reform and curriculum construction. Applying knowledge graph to curriculum construction caters to the need for systematic knowledge integration and requirements of personalized learning, and provides convenient means for dynamic curriculum content update. However,The knowledge graph of the College English course (General English course) also has its own characteristics. Taking the course “College English 1” in the author’s university as an example, it demonstrates the design case of the knowledge graph construction, like multi-module integrated design, association of listening, speaking, reading, writing, and translation skills, incorporation of cultural background. The case also covers the relevance of the knowledge points, managing and operational details of the knowledge graph. Applying knowledge graph to English curriculum construction is beneficial for English learning and teaching, but it is still in the exploratory stage and has some limitations, so it’s necessary to fully explore its potential in future.
