Established in the teaching status quo of college English in china, Production-oriented Approach (POA), proposed by Professor Wen Qiufang, advocates the teaching concept of “learning-using integrated”, and constructs “motivating-enabling-assessing” classroom teaching process, thus providing new ideas for teachers to enhance teaching efficiency of college English classroom instruction. Through a comparative study of the control group which adopts traditional mode of classroom teaching and the experimental group that implements teaching methods based on POA Theory, the paper aims to explore the differences of teaching efficiency in college English reading and writing course under the two teaching ways mentioned above. By means of qualitative and quantitative studies, it is found that compared with traditional lecture-style classroom teaching, POA Theory applied in English reading and writing class under the framework of output-driven and input-enabled hypothesis can innovate the traditional approach of English teaching and promote students’ ability to think and practice. In addition, the interaction between teachers and students and students’ autonomous learning capacity are also effectively strengthened. With data collection and analysis, the author also digs up the reasons for the findings in this research from various perspectives. The reflections upon the research, its limitations and the conclusion are stated in the final part of this thesis.
