Abstract:Teaching materials are crucial prerequisites for moral and virtuous awareness education. Foreign language teaching materials edited by native speakers may manifest their ideology which poses challenges to materials development, therefore, searching for additional sources of moral and virtuous content has become a necessary research topic for college English teachers. Given that the industry history contains abundant resources and cases of moral and virtuous education, aviation colleges may reach out to the aviation history for foreign language teaching materials. This study proposes a framework of developing moral and virtuous materials from aviation history, focusing on the core values of developing aviation for “national safety” and “national patriotism” which are embodied in the heroic deeds recorded in historical texts. This study can provide suggestions for incorporating moral and virtuous content of industry history into the development and use of teaching materials.
