ABSTRACT

College English, as an important public basic course in China's higher education, plays an important role in talent cultivation because of its wide audience and great influence. However, in recent years, college English instruction in China has been confronted with constant doubts and facing greater crises and challenges due to its time consuming with low efficiency caused by the ambiguity and alienation of teaching goals, which have led to many problems, such as deviation in teaching methods, lack of practical use of language and unscientific assessment. Thus, it is urgent to reform college English instruction. This paper, guided by China's localized teaching theory -- Production-Oriented Approach, attempts to construct a production-oriented teaching model from three aspects: the design of teaching processes, the establishment of teachers' mediating role and the development of a comprehensive assessment system, in order to improve students’ language application ability and the quality of college English instruction.
