English vocabulary teaching is one of the key and difficult points in college English teaching. Scholars have conducted a series of studies such as lexical frequency, concordance/KWIC (key Word in Context), collocation and semantic prosody related to college English vocabulary teaching based on corpora, and have gained a lot of achievements. Under the concept of ideological and political education in courses, few scholars have conducted research on college English vocabulary courses in moral cultivation based on corpora. This paper tries to explore the application of concordance/KWIC (key Word in Context), collocation, terminology, and allusions based on the multilingual corpus of “Xi Jinping: The Governance of China” in teaching college English vocabulary courses in the moral cultivation, as well as the methods for evaluating teaching college English vocabulary courses in the moral cultivation, with the hope of promoting the improvement of the effectiveness of ideological and political teaching in college English vocabulary courses.
