A Localized Study of Daoming Bamboo Weaving in Big Ideas-Oriented Junior High English Teaching

Abstract

Cultural education is a core vehicle to cultivate English core competencies outlined in the 2022 Compulsory Education English Curriculum Standards. From the dual Big Ideas dimension, this research integrates Daoming Bamboo Weaving, a local intangible cultural heritage, into teaching activities of PEP Grade 9 English Unit 5. Text analysis indicates the textbook only contains general folk culture materials with scarce regional cultural content. Daoming Bamboo Weaving fits the unit’s language learning schedule, supporting the construction of localized teaching systems covering listening, speaking, reading and writing. This study retains the textbook’s original teaching framework and optimizes unit design, balancing language training and local cultural learning. It proposes a layered teaching model for intangible cultural heritage, providing operable references for embedding regional heritage into junior high English classes and fulfilling disciplinary cultural education targets.
