Cultivating virtue is the fundamental task of education, and the subject core competence is the concentrated embodiment of the educational value. The unit integrated teaching is an important carrier for cultivating the subject core, and big idea is the key lever for implementing the subject core competence. Carrying out integrated teaching based on big idea can foster the achievement of the fundamental task of cultivating morality and promoting the implementation of subject core competencies. However, at present, teachers have some problems on unit integrated teaching based on big idea such as vague connotation and unclear value of big ideas in unit integrated teaching. Teachers have no way to start when exploring the path of unit integrated teaching based on big ideas. Thus, after exploring the connotation and essence of big ideas, the connotation of unit integrated teaching from the perspective of big ideas, and the role value of big ideas in unit integrated teaching, this thesis aims to explore the implementation path of unit integrated teaching of senior high school English based on big ideas by taking Unit 1 of the first compulsory volume of English as an example.
