Under the background of the new era, course-based ideological and political education is the key path for universities to fulfill the fundamental task of fostering virtue and cultivating talents. This article analyzes the current situation and predicaments of university English teachers' ideological and political teaching abilities, and discovers that there are problems such as weak ideological awareness, single teaching methods, insufficient cross-disciplinary integration, and imperfect evaluation mechanisms. The root causes lie in insufficient support for teachers' professional development, fragmented training systems, and lagging technological empowerment. Based on the teacher training experiences at home and abroad and the trends of educational technology innovation, this article proposes to build a "four-dimensional integrated" improvement path: based on institutional guarantee, with stratified training as the core, with cross-disciplinary collaboration as the innovation point, and with digital empowerment as the breakthrough. Through case analysis and policy interpretation, it demonstrates the effectiveness of this path in achieving the deep integration of knowledge imparting and value guidance, providing practical references for the reform of foreign language education in universities.
