ABSTRACT

The existing oral English teaching methods for automotive majors focus on grammar and vocabulary, lacking situational simulation and practical activities, which makes it difficult for students to apply the knowledge they have learned to actual communication. Based on this, in order to improve the practical application ability of English oral communication for automotive students, this article designs a course on enhancing automotive English oral communication ability based on the Production Oriented Approach (POA) theory. Firstly, the course conducts research and analysis to understand students' actual needs and determine teaching objectives; secondly, based on the characteristics of the automotive profession, designs diverse language tasks; finally, records the experimental results through course experiments and follow-up surveys. The results showed that most students maintained a high level of accuracy in the expression process, with an accuracy rate between 85% and 98%, and a report clarity score of 94. Research has shown that curriculum design based on POA theory can significantly improve students' professional English speaking ability, providing important reference for cultivating international automotive engineering talents.
