College English Reading Teaching Integrating Production Oriented Approach from the Perspective of Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

The objectives are to solve many problems in traditional English reading teaching, such as the passive acceptance of students’ learning situation, the rigid teaching mode of teachers and the difficulty in taking into account the individual needs of each student, and the forced averaging of students’ English learning ability and level. Firstly, a detection method of English reading level based on the Backpropagation neural network (BPNN) is designed. Secondly, the teaching process and specific teaching plan are designed with the Production Oriented Approach (POA). Finally, the detection method of English reading level is verified by simulation experiments, and the effect of the teaching method integrating POA is analyzed. The results show that (1) when the learning rate is 0.26 and the training time is 1000 times, the mean square error (MSE) of the model is the smallest. (2) The results of the practical experiment indicate that the number of people who sign up for the college English proficiency test, the number of actual exams, and the pass rate of the test in the experimental group using the teaching method are higher than those in the control group. Moreover, the number of people in the experimental group increased more than that in the control group after the experiment. There is no significant difference in the test results of the two groups before the experiment, and the average test scores of the experimental group are obviously higher than those of the control group after the experiment. The p value of the two groups of results is less than 0.05 in the t-test, indicating that there is a significant difference in the English reading level between the two groups after the experiment. Simultaneously, the difference between the results of class A before and after the experiment is larger than that of class B, showing that the teaching method integrating POA is more effective for students with higher English levels. Therefore, compared with the traditional teaching method, the teaching mode integrating POA is more effective in improving the English reading level of college students. It aims to transform POA theory into practice and provide a great reference for college English reading teaching.

Current English Language Teaching Using Production-Oriented Approach: A Systematic Review

“…PM=procedures of materials using I-E=I-English textbook Findings regarding the present status of POA can be investigated as five themes which are students' level, different courses, theory development, combining technology and materials use. About the students' level, high school students (Liu, 2021;Song et al, 2023;, college students (Bi, 2020;Kong et al,2022;Shu 2022;Wang 2022;Wang et al, 2022;Xie 2021;Yang 2022;Zhao et al, 2021;Zhang 2019), graduates (Khazaee et al,2022) are involved. Research on POA involves its application in different types of courses.…”

“…The English majors who participated in the study improved their English application skills, while the non-English majors mainly improved their learning autonomy. The use of POA has been found to yield favourable outcomes in terms of enhancing students' engagement, academic achievement, and task fulfilment, hence contributing to the development of their academic literacies (Gao & Wang, 2023;Liu & Zhang, 2022;Wang & Yan, 2022). Song et al highlighted the strategies of practical English teaching in POA and provided references and help for the reform and innovation of practical English teaching (Song & Li, 2023).…”

The application of production-oriented approach research teaching method in medical academic English course

“…That’s exactly what postgraduate education calls for. Xi et al, for instance, showed that POA is very appropriate for the current modifications to college English curricula and the rising expectations placed on students’ English proficiency [ 37 ]. According to Gao et al, the POA is evaluated and shown to be useful in helping EFL students become more academically literate as they engage with authentic tasks [ 38 ].…”

Empowering English as a Foreign Language Education With the Production-Oriented Approach: A Systematic Review

“…3 studies focused on a college education (Q. Wang, 2022; X. Wang & Yan, 2022;Zhang & Choe, 2020), 3 on senior high schools (X. Liu, 2021;G.…”

“…Qi (2022) applied POA and DLM (deep learning model) to English translation teaching and claimed that POA had raised learners' translation ability by more than 30% Wang & Yan (2022). present an innovative combination of POA with AI, it turned out that "the POA under AI is more effective in improving the English reading level of college students".…”
