ABSTRACT

The English teaching for Accounting majors in higher vocational colleges requires specialized strategies tailored to their proficiency levels. To enhance students’ professional and language skills, a Production-Oriented Approach (POA) teaching model is employed, complemented by English for Specific Purposes (ESP) theory to create a specialized learning environment focused on practical accounting English. This article aims to investigate the application and impact of an integrated theory on first-year accounting students. Through the organization and analysis of actual class designs and processes, the study outlines a practical approach for integrating students' language skills within a real-world context, allowing them to gain valuable experience directly applicable to their future careers. Furthermore, the article also evaluates the impacts on students before and after the implementation of POA. Overall, this integrated approach not only enhances students' language proficiency but also equips them with the necessary skills and knowledge required for success in the accounting profession. By facilitating this alignment between academic instruction and real-world demands, higher vocational colleges can effectively support their Accounting majors' future professional development in the language sense.
