Taking the bilingual course English News Reporting of a university as the research object, this paper systematically elaborates the construction process of a modular curriculum system centered on “Journalism + English + Cross-cultural Narration”. The paper focuses on analyzing innovative practices in the construction of online curriculum resources, the development of AI-assisted teaching tools and the operation of the practical platform “GO TO LINGANG”. It also profoundly reflects on prominent problems existing in current teaching, including uneven students’ cross-cultural narrative capabilities, immature practical works and disconnected evaluation systems. On this basis, the paper proposes the reform orientation of focusing on “practical training, internationalization, project-based learning and result-oriented output” in the next five years. Through hierarchical and categorized tutoring, the introduction of industrial mentors and the expansion of practical international communication platforms, the paradigm shift from mere cultivation of linguistic competence to the improvement of practical international communication capacity can be realized.
