Constructing a Discourse System for the English Translation of Jiangxi Red Culture and Its Integration into College English Teaching

Abstract

The international dissemination of Jiangxi red culture faces several persistent problems, including inconsistent terminology, inadequate cross-cultural adaptation of narratives, and the absence of a sustainable mechanism for producing communication materials. This study examines how college English teaching can be connected with the construction of a discourse system for the English translation of Jiangxi red culture. It conceptualizes the discourse system through three dimensions: conceptual standardization, narrative adaptation, and carrier-based reproduction. On this basis, it proposes an instructional integration framework consisting of “standardized input, practical output, and feedback-based revision.” College English teaching can serve not only as a channel for disseminating existing translations of red culture, but also as a source of candidate translations, evidence of comprehension difficulties, and narrative alternatives through translation, writing, and oral communication activities. This study seeks to provide theoretical reference for the development of English-language resources on Jiangxi red culture and for the integration of red culture into college English courses as part of curriculum-based ideological and political education.
