This study addresses challenges in value education within foreign language curricula, including vague objectives, static content, unidirectional teaching approaches, and lagging evaluation systems. Using the “English Public Speaking” course as a vehicle, we constructed a modular teaching system for “Telling China’s Story Well.” By implementing precise ideological objective-setting, dynamic story content selection, digitally empowered multimodal narration, and systematic evaluation mechanisms, this approach achieves a deep integration of value guidance and language proficiency development. The research demonstrates that this module possesses threefold educational value: strengthening the foundation of cultural confidence by presenting a credible image of China; enhancing the overall educational efficacy of the course through systematic narrative approaches; and fulfilling the mission of national rejuvenation by cultivating a new generation capable of meeting the demands of the new era. This study provides an operable and quantifiable practical pathway for implementing the fundamental task of “fostering virtue through education” in foreign language instruction, achieving organic integration of knowledge acquisition, ability development, and value formation.
