As far as humanity is concerned, English curriculum undertakes the task of improving students' comprehensive humanistic quality, that is, students can broaden their horizons, enrich their life experiences, form cross-cultural consciousness, enhance their patriotism and develop their innovative ability through English courses. Form a good character and a correct outlook on life and values. The integration of instrumental and humanistic English curriculum is conducive to the lifelong development of students to lay the foundation.

II. The basic idea of Curriculum.

(1) pay attention to quality-oriented education and embody the value of language learning to students' development;

The main purpose of English curriculum in compulsory education is to lay a foundation for students to develop their comprehensive language ability and to create favorable conditions for them to continue to learn English and to develop in the future. Language is not only a tool for communication, but also a tool for thinking. Learning a foreign language can promote people's mental development, help students to understand the diversity of the world, experience the similarities and differences between Chinese and foreign cultures to form cross-cultural awareness, enhance international understanding, and carry forward the spirit of patriotism. Form the sense of social responsibility and innovation consciousness, improve humanities accomplishment.

(2) for all students, pay attention to the different characteristics and individual differences of language learners.

Compulsory education is an important part of education for all. The English curriculum at the stage of compulsory education should be open to all students and embody the student-centered thinking. The development needs of all students should be taken into account in the aspects of teaching objectives, teaching contents, teaching process, teaching evaluation and the utilization and development of teaching resources. English curriculum should be a process in which students construct their knowledge, develop their skills, broaden their horizons, enliven their thinking and show their individuality under the guidance of their teachers. Due to the differences in age, personality, cognitive style and living environment, students have different learning needs and characteristics. Only to meet individual needs to a large extent, it is possible to obtain the maximum overall teaching efficiency.
