Integrating the Production-Oriented Approach into College English for Cultural Heritage and Museology Majors: A Teaching Model and Its Implementation

Against the backdrop of the growing demand for interdisciplinary talent in Cultural Heritage and Museology and international communication, college English teaching for Cultural Heritage and Museology majors faces the dual challenges of meeting professional development needs and addressing the limitations of traditional teaching models. This study takes 55 sophomore students majoring in Cultural Heritage and Museology at a university as the research object, adopting a mixed research method that combines questionnaire surveys and teaching practice. Based on the Production-Oriented Approach (POA), a targeted college English teaching model is constructed, integrating Cultural relics represented by museum resources. The research results finds that although 79.17% of students are satisfied with the existing teaching model, there are prominent problems such as insufficient active classroom participation, strong demand for practical application, and examination-oriented learning motivation, while the implemented POA-based teaching model has significantly enhanced students' cross-cultural communication and practical application abilities, with 81.25% satisfaction with the integration of Cultural Heritage and Museology elements in teaching. This study provides a feasible path for optimizing college English teaching for Cultural Heritage and Museology majors, and offers empirical reference for promoting the deep integration of professional education and foreign language teaching.
