ABSTRACT

In the context of China's call of "telling China's stories well", the college spoken English course plays a vital role in cultivating students' cultural communicative competence to fulfill the mission to present a credible, lovable, and respectable image of China. However, some factors lead to the disjunction between the improvement of students' linguistic competence and the development of their cultural communicative competence. To bridge the gap, the paper employed the Production-Oriented Approach (POA) to design a targeted teaching framework with a typical unit design, with the hope of providing a feasible way to equip students with the ability to narrate China's stories well.
