ABSTRACT

This paper explores the application of the Production-Oriented Approach (POA) in the teaching of Viewing listening and speaking courses at undergraduate level. Traditional English teaching methods often lack interactivity, diversity in resources, and timely feedback. To address these shortcomings, this study emphasizes the need for innovative teaching models that bridge the gap between language knowledge and practical application. By implementing the POA framework, which integrates Motivating, Enabling, and Assessing, this study illustrates a case from New College English to demonstrate how POA enhances student engagement and language proficiency. The study highlights how authentic tasks, interactive exercises, and formative assessments contribute to effective language skill internalization and output. The findings suggest that adopting POA in English listening and speaking courses significantly improves students' practical language abilities, making it an essential approach for meeting the demands of higher education in a global context.
