ABSTRACT

The Production-Oriented Approach (POA), proposed by Professor Qiu-fang Wen and her team, is a foreign language teaching theory in line with China's conditions. It aims to address the prevalent issue of "separation between learning and application" in foreign language instruction. Based on this theory, this paper takes the college English intercultural communication course as an example to explore the feasibility of integrating "POA" into college cross-cultural communication teaching from the aspects of teaching objectives, teaching task design, and teaching process. It aims to cultivate students' awareness and ability of intercultural communication, so as to improve their comprehensive quality and cultural literacy.
