An Investigation of German Language Teaching Model in Colleges and Universities based on the Production-Oriented Approach
Abstract
This study explores the application of Production-Oriented Approach (POA) in teaching German to nursing students in colleges and universities. Focusing on the requirements of the German B1 exam, the study takes the thematic unit of “Movement” as an example, and designs the teaching through the links of “drive-enable-evaluate”. The results show that POA effectively improves students’ speaking and writing output, but there are still deficiencies in reading and listening. Accordingly, this study has proposed the strategies of “vocabulary in-depth facilitation” and “accurate matching of listening and writing” to optimize the input materials and skills training, achieve the goal of “learning and using”, and provide a practical path for teaching German for Special Purposes. This provides a practical path for the teaching of German for special purposes.
