Foreign Language Teaching Empowers College Students' Innovation and Entrepreneurship: Integration Paths and Practical Exploration

Against the backdrop of escalating employment pressure for college students and the upgraded demand for interdisciplinary talents in the globalized context, the integration of foreign language teaching and innovation and entrepreneurship education in colleges and universities has become a crucial direction for talent cultivation. National policies on innovation and entrepreneurship, together with the development trend of globalization, jointly highlight the importance of foreign language proficiency for competition in transnational fields and the practice of innovation and entrepreneurship. By adopting literature research and case analysis methods, this paper systematically sorts out the theoretical foundation and functional mechanisms of the integration between the two, and proposes specific "language + innovation"-oriented integration strategies and paths from four dimensions: innovation in teaching concepts and methods, optimization of curriculum systems, construction of teaching teams, and establishment of practical platforms. The research shows that this integration can not only meet the society's demand for diversified talents and provide talent support for enterprises' international competition, but also enhance college students' comprehensive quality and employability. Furthermore, it provides practical references for the reform of college education and teaching, as well as the implementation of the national innovation-driven development strategy.
