Research on POA-based EAP Class in Engineering University Under the Background of “Double First-class Initiative”

Abstract

Under the background of "Double First-class Initiative", to contribute to the objective of training talents with international competitiveness, College English course in engineering universities bears the responsibility of training students with international academic exchange ability. In theory, POA and EAP for engineering students have high compatibility; in teaching practice, it is proved that with the target of “integration of learning and application”, POA can solve the problems of “separation of learning and application” and “separation of teaching and research”. The data from the methods of questionnaires, interviews and observations further validate the applicability of POA in EAP for engineering students and the high acceptability of POA among the students.
