Research on Teaching Mode Construction of ESP Course for Textile Engineering Based on Production-oriented Approach

Abstract

In order to overcome the disadvantages of "separation of learning and using" in foreign language teaching in China, Professor Wen Qiufang and her team have put forward their theoretical and practical achievements of POA (Production-oriented Approach) after more than ten years of research and exploration. The Production-oriented Approach conforms to the reality of foreign language teaching in China in the aspects of teaching concepts, teaching hypothesis, and teaching process jumps out of the dilemma of needs analysis and passes through the theory of second language acquisition and the practice of foreign language teaching. It has profound theoretical and practical guiding significance for language teaching at colleges and universities in China. This paper, based on the introduction of POA theory and the current ESP teaching research achievements in China, combining with the practice of English ESP teaching for majors of textile engineering at Tianjin Polytechnic University, attempts to construct a set of feasible ESP teaching mode for the major of textile engineering based on POA (Production-oriented Approach).
