History and Anthology of American Literature is one of the core courses of English major in Chinese universities. Based on the ideological and political ideas of the curriculum, combined with the actual classroom teaching, the author explores the curriculum teaching reform of History and Anthology of American Literature from four aspects: the setting of teaching ideological and political goals, the ideological and political construction of textbooks, the design of curriculum ideological and political teaching links, and the evaluation of students’ ideological and political effects of the curriculum. Strengthening the ideological and political construction of the course can better cultivate students’ patriotism, help students establish their sense of home and country, enhance their cultural self-confidence, and make them grow into foreign language pillars in the new era.
