Abstract

In the age of self-media, the speed and breadth of information dissemination have increased dramatically, bringing unprecedented challenges to the ideological security of foreign language majors in colleges and universities. Due to their exposure to diverse cultures and languages, foreign language majors are easily influenced by different ideologies, leading to increased ideological pluralism and cognitive conflicts. In addition, the widespread dissemination of false information and bad ideologies on the self-media platform further threatens the stability of students' values. This paper analyzes the impact of the self-media era on the ideological security of foreign language majors in colleges and universities, discusses the main challenges faced by the field, and proposes countermeasures such as strengthening ideological and political education, enhancing information literacy, constructing a multilevel ideological education system, and strengthening the construction of the teaching team, in order to safeguard the ideological security of foreign language majors in colleges and universities.
