Production-Oriented Approach in Localization Teaching: A Case Study of Interpretation Practice Teaching on the Commentary of Baoding Military Academy

Abstract

Production-Oriented Approach ( abbr . POA) mainly includes three parts: Teaching principles, Teaching hypothesis and Teacher-mediated teaching process. In this paper, the three components of the teaching process (Motivating-Enabling - Evaluating) were taken as the steps of the case analysis. First, the teacher group took the students to Baoding Military Academy and an interpretation of the commentary was tried on the spot. This was the Scenario (scene setting) and motivating part before class. Second, relative literary w orks were collected and sorted out to solve parts of the problems which happened in the first try. And then students’ interpretation practice was output in a better way, which was the step of enabling in the teaching process. Evaluations including students’ evaluation, team evaluation, teacher-student evaluation and self-evaluation were carried out simultaneously to summarize stud ents’ interpretation problems and solutions, and promote the motivating an d enabling of the next stage. Through this practice, students could improve the practical ability of interpretation, and at the same time improve their cognition of local tourism culture and the history of modern Chinese revolution, so as to cultivate the patriotism as the moral education.
