Ltd.10.26689/erd.v8i9.15892ArticleA Study on the Ideological and Political Teaching Reform of the Advanced English Course in Maritime Universities Empowered by Large Language Models: Taking the Translation Teaching Practice of Guangdong Local Chronicles as an Examplehttps://artdesignp.com/journal/erd/8/9/10.26689/erd.v8i9.15892ZhaoYibo,ZhangMeng2026892026-10-27Fostering virtue through education and promoting fine traditional Chinese culture abroad set higher requirements for ideological and political education in foreign language courses, while large language models (LLMs) offer new conditions for transforming language teaching. To address the separation of value guidance from language instruction, the absence of local culture and insufficient output-oriented training in the Advanced English course of maritime universities, this paper, supported by the Zhanjiang philosophy and social science project, takes Zhanjiang local chronicles as the core corpus and extends to Guangdong local chronicles and the international publicity of city images in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA). With the aid of LLMs, it reconstructs teaching objectives, content, process and assessment, thereby building a “corpus–technology–value” integrated model illustrated by teaching examples. Practice shows that the model can foster cultural confidence, maritime awareness and patriotism in translation training and serve the international communication of Guangdong and the GBA.Large language models, Advanced English, Ideological and political education, Guangdong local chronicles, City image, Translation teaching
