Level-based College English teaching has lost its appeal in North China Electric Power University. To stimulate students’ motivation in college English learning, a new teaching reform under the production-oriented approach is initiated. In the teaching experiment, we took reforms in teaching materials, teaching process and assessment. Subsequent questionnaire indicates that students hold positive attitudes toward this new teaching approach. However, alteration needs to be made in order to guarantee better teaching results.

In this paper I posit that the application of task-based language teaching (TBLT) in web-based college English teaching (WBCET) is a possible solution to the problems arose from the on-going web-based college English teaching reform in China. A study is designed to verify the enhancement of students’ comprehensive ability in English learning through the combination of TBLT and WBCET.

Oriented Approach

This study investigates students’ motivation in college English learning under production-oriented approach by means of a questionnaire. Forty students in their first-year study participated in this survey. They came from four different disciplines: electronic engineering, automatic engineering, mechanic engineering and power engineering. They were required to fill in the questionnaire at the beginning of the second semester before the teaching reform and at the end of the second semester when the teaching reform was conducted respectively. Our study indicates that students in increasing numbers begin to show great interest in college English learning under POA, and their intrinsic motivation in English learning has been strengthened while at the same time extrinsic motivation shows a tendency of decline. The potential implication of this finding is that POA may be effective in stimulating students’ motivation in college English learning.
