By adopting Wen Qiufang’s Production-Oriented Approach (POA), this study attempts to address the “learning-application disconnection” in practical training for English teacher trainees. Through an “output-driven, input-enabled and evaluation” closed-loop model and mixed methods, the study demonstrates POA’s effectiveness in improving trainees’ instructional design skills, classroom teaching abilities, and intercultural literacy. It also highlighted that the task authenticity, multidimensional evaluation, as well as the transformation of teachers’ roles into task designers are critical to achieving “learning-application integration”. This research provides theoretical and practical guidance for reforming teacher education curricula.
