The “production-oriented approach” or POA theory believes that foreign language teaching should embrace such focus as “learning-centered”, “learning and use integration” and “key capabilities cultivation”. Besides, foreign language teaching should be designed as a process that starts with production and ends with production. In view of the merits of network resources and platforms in blended teaching mode as well as teaching process of “driving, facilitating, and evaluating” in POA, this paper explores the combination of POA and blended teaching to research on the feasibility and effectiveness of applying it to the teaching of college English writing in private undergraduate colleges. By analyzing the relevant research theoretical basis and research status, the author further elaborates on the specific implementation process of applying POA based on blended teaching in the college English writing teaching of private undergraduate colleges from the aspects of research significance research subjects, research methods, research content and data analysis. In terms of research content, the author specifically expounds the procedures from such detailed parts as before-class stage: production drive + online autonomous learning, in-class stage: input facilitating + offline classroom teaching, after-class stage: evaluation to promote learning + online correction and classroom display. This paper is expected to promote students’ writing interests and proficiency so as to provide a valuable reference for the reform of college English writing teaching methods.

Abstract. Eye movements of children (Grade 5-6) and adults were monitored while they were watching a foreign language movie with either standard (foreign language soundtrack and native language subtitling) or reversed (foreign language subtitles and native language soundtrack) subtitling. With standard subtitling, reading behavior in the subtitle was observed, but there was a difference between one- and two-line subtitles. As two lines of text contain verbal information that cannot easily be inferred from the pictures on the screen, more regular reading occurred; a single text line is often redundant to the information in the picture, and accordingly less reading of one-line text was apparent. Reversed subtitling showed even more irregular reading patterns (e.g., more subtitles skipped, fewer fixations, longer latencies). No substantial age differences emerged, except that children took longer to shift attention to the subtitle at its onset, and showed longer fixations and shorter saccades in the text. On the whole, the results demonstrated the flexibility of the attentional system and its tuning to the several information sources available (image, soundtrack, and subtitles).

Nearly all Canadian universities employ, as a standard for university admission, the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). In light of considerable evidence indicating only a weak relationship between TOEFL scores and academic achievement, the Canadian Psychological Association recently issued a report containing a position statement that called upon Canadian universities to refrain from employing the TOEFL in this manner. Because the concerns raised in the report are likely to apply to many universities outside Canada, the entire report is reproduced in this article.
