Abstract

With the rapid development of China’s economy and the rise of China’s international status, the exchange activities between China and other countries are more frequent than before, which results in the fact that English speaking and listening skills have become more and more important for college students. However, the reality is that Chinese college students’ English speaking and listening skills are relatively weak compared to their reading and writing skills. Production-Oriented Approach, proposed by professor Wen Qiufang, is a new theoretical system for college English teaching in China, which aims to solve the problem of the “separation of learning and application”, so as to improve the efficiency of English classroom teaching and to enhance students’ ability to use English in the real environment. What’s more, In the past, English teaching focused too much on the importance of the Western culture and ignored a deep understanding of Chinese traditional culture, which contributed not only to Chinese college students’ weak awareness of spreading Chinese traditional culture but also to their low cross-cultural communication ability. Therefore, to realize the integration of language teaching and Chinese culture is one of the important goals of College English teaching. The case study aims to do a multimode teaching design of integrating Chinese culture with classroom teaching of College English Speaking and Listening course under the guidance of POA, which proved to be not only an effective approach to enhance the learners’ listening and speaking ability, but also a new method to improve the teaching efficiency of ideological and political education in college English teaching.
