Abstract:Based on an analysis of the differences and the similarities in teaching design between Harvard Universitys general education course “Chinese Daily Culture and Life” and a Chinese universitys general education course “American History and Culture”, this paper offers some suggestions for improving the design of teaching general education courses related to “history and culture” in China including employing foreign teachers to teach the same course with Chinese teachers, heightening students interest and perseverance in learning, setting up more multidisciplinary general education courses, refining the course content by adjusting the teaching objectives of related general education courses, making reforms in the teaching methods and the evaluating approaches of these courses, etc.
