As I understand from his confession at the end (both willingly to 
Harry and later under the Veritaserum), he was following closely the 
lesson plan that the real Moody devised. Recall that Dumbledore got 
Moody to teach that year because he wanted an auror keeping an eye on 
Karkaroff and that Moody and Dumbledore are very close friends. 
During the year Moody was kept in his trunk, weakened and under the 
Imperius curse both for the polyjuice potion but also to ensure that 
Crouch Jr. acts as close as possible to the real Moody by questioning 
him at length. In addition, Crouch's goal was to gain Harry's trust 
so that he could guide him through the tournament without arousing 
suspicion. Teaching him to overcome the Imperius curse was a fairly 
good way of doing it.

I also have a feeling that Crouch Jr. actually enjoyed his role as a 
teacher. He certainly did a good job at it. After spending 12 years 
controlled by the Imperius curse himself it must have been fun 
showing off his knowledge.

How could being able to resist the Imperius curse help Harry once he 
was captured? He was doomed regardless of what he did or knew, if it 
hadn't been for the wand - and neither the real nor fake Moody knew 
anything about that.
