Integrating Pingju Opera culture into college English teaching serves as an effective pathway to fulfill the fundamental task of moral education and to promote the inheritance and international dissemination of traditional Chinese culture. This paper, based on the curriculum philosophy outlined in the Guidelines on College English Teaching (2020), constructs a systematic teaching approach that incorporates biographical storytelling of opera artists, English translation of classic lyrics, multimodal resource integration, and instructional feedback and assessment. This model not only enriches the teaching content and expands the resource system of college English courses but also enhances students’ comprehensive language proficiency and intercultural communicative competence, while deepening their understanding and identification with local culture. Furthermore, the study contributes to the ideological and political dimension of college curricula, the development of indigenous cultural resources, and the global dissemination of regional opera, offering a practical paradigm for cultural education and pedagogical innovation in college English teaching in the new era.
