Application of POA Theory in Innovative Teaching Model of College English-under the Background of Curriculum Ideological and Political Education

Abstract

At the national conference on ideological and political work in 2016, general secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that the foundation of University’s establishment is to build virtue and cultivate people. It is emphasized that strengthening ideological and political education in colleges and universities should be the top priority. Subsequently, colleges and universities across the country comprehensively promoted the ideological and political construction of courses, and the ideological and political education reform of College English courses was also carried out in an all-round way. In order to explore how to effectively integrate ideological and political elements into College English courses, based on the output oriented approach (POA) proposed by Professor Wen Qiufang, this paper constructs a “5G” innovative teaching model based on language situation under the background of curriculum ideological and political education. This innovative teaching model, combined with online and offline mixed teaching, guides students to carry out “output oriented” language knowledge learning in a situational language environment so as to make the first pass of output (the first G: generate language proficiency), to promote the second G: generate practical skills and the third and fourth GS: generate critical thinking ability and generate creative production. The fifth G: generate positive attitude is achieved while carrying out explicit teaching - cultivation of knowledge ability. The cultivation of knowledge ability and ideological and political education are intertwined and inseparable, and run through the whole teaching process (before-class, while-class and after-class). In order to test the feasibility of this model, it is applied to the teaching practice of College English, and the teaching effect is evaluated through a questionnaire. The results show that the model is feasible and operable, and provides specific ways and methods for the organic integration of ideological and political elements into the teaching of other English courses, which has practical reference value.
