The 20th National Congress of the CPC put forward new requirements for con-tinuing to deepen moral education. How to integrate the content of moral ed-ucation into textbooks is also an issue that the CPC and country highlight. The content of teaching materials reflects the will of the Party and country. And the construction of teaching materials in the new era must always adhere to the correct value orientation and political orientation. Therefore, it is necessary for teachers to make good use of English textbooks to give full play to the value of disciplinary moral education. Based on the requirements of moral education in the Curriculum Standards and the Guidelines for Moral Education in Pri-mary and Secondary Schools, this study establishes an analytical dimension for the content of moral education in English textbooks. The research finds the content setting of moral education in the English textbooks lack of targeted theoretical basis and moral education content in various dimensions are not balanced. Therefore, the research proposes some suggestions to help editors to optimize the proportion of moral education content and teachers to explore the moral education design.
