ABSTRACT

The Production-Oriented Approach (POA) provides a framework and feasible path for the integration of moral education and values cultivation into college English courses. This paper first conducts a theoretical overview of POA from three aspects: teaching philosophy, teaching hypotheses, and teaching procedures. It then proposes four principles for constructing the POA-guided teaching system of moral education and values cultivation through College English teaching: the fundamental goal of moral education, a focus on output orientation, organic integration as the key, and multiple evaluation as the guarantee. Furthermore, it explores a three-in-one college English curriculum objectives based on POA, which includes "knowledge teaching + ability promoting + values cultivation." Next, it highlights the need to reconstruct teaching content based on current textbooks, integrate moral education elements, and optimize teaching design. Finally, taking Unit 4 of "New Dimension College English 4" as an example, the paper demonstrates strategies and implementation steps for incorporating moral education into college English teaching through POA—motivating—enabling—assessing procedures, providing valuable insights for the integration of moral and values education in college English courses.
