National identity is an important form of national consciousness. The national identity of adolescents has three connotations: cognition, emotion and behavior, and it is the value pursuit of English education. The cultural and political nature of language makes English education an important carrier for cultivating the national identity of adolescents. The English curriculum standards are the action guides, and they also bear the educational mission. In cultivating the national identity of adolescents through English education, it should adhere to the basic positions of firmly standing on the Chinese stance, rooting in the sense of family and nation, being compatible with the international perspective, cultivating humanistic care, avoiding integration without being internalized, and attaching importance to the acceptance of the main body. By adding Chinese cultural elements to teaching materials to make students understand the reasons, using narration, cultural interaction and creating an environment of emotional resonance to arouse emotions, and relying on classroom discussions, study tours and other activities to externalize actions, a unique cultivation path is formed.
