Teaching “International Business Contracts” Based on Production-Oriented Approach

Production-Oriented Approach (POA) is a new concept of foreign language teaching proposed by Professor Wen Qiufang of Beijing Foreign Studies University. Initially designed for teaching foreign languages in lower grades in domestic universities, its application has now been gradually expanded to more subjects and has been repeatedly proven to be effective after active experiments by some university teachers. In this paper, the author attempts to apply the production-oriented method to the teaching of international business contracts, and take one of the units as an example to demonstrate the teaching design and teaching process.
