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.

Building research skills for students of technical universities attracts the attention as an important component of the professional competence. One of the possible solutions is to use elements of research work in the process of foreign language teaching, since this academic discipline provides a variety of opportunities for acquiring these skills. Studying a foreign language contributes to the development of research skills, analytical skills and critical thinking. Teaching students how to work with a text, to extract information, to use compression skills (summarizing) and expanding information (commenting), using citation, compiling a bibliographic list will help them gain skills for writing articles. The ability to make a presentation, ask questions and prove their point of view will prepare students for a presentation at a scientific conference and participation in a scientific discussion. Use of computer technology at all stages of training (information retrieval, creation of a written text, preparation of a presentation) also contributes to the skills necessary for a contemporary specialist. Attracting students’ attention to research work in a foreign language contributes to the increase of motivation for scientific work, and to the further studies of a foreign language, which becomes a means of obtaining professional information and generalizing existing knowledge in scientific work. Reliance on previously obtained knowledge brings research skills development in the framework of “foreign language” programme to the fore for non-linguistic stu-dents. These conclusions can be useful for teachers and students of a technical university and can improve research work organization of future specialists.

Outcomes of the research are the following: principles of the concept of conducting mediation described in the Companion Volume to Common European Framework of Reference for Languages CEFR are analyzed and principles applicable for teaching mediation to students are outlined; typical communicative situations in which mediation is carried out are analyzed; the practical orientation of the mediation process in foreign language teaching is explained; algorithms for creating mediation tasks are developed; possibilities of optimization of educational process through the integration of mediation tasks are considered; examples of tasks for execution of mediation are suggested. It is concluded that in light of the significance of functions that mediation serves in the nowadays society, it is necessary to take into account the problem of incorporating teaching of meditation into the process of foreign languages teaching. Advanced mediation concept, which is presented in the Companion Volume to Common European Framework of Reference for Languages CEFR, provides theoretical principles for the development of methodologies for teaching mediation. Social functions of language use in mediation lay the foundations of these methodologies. Peculiarities of mediation tasks are the following: tasks are based on the educational goal that is formulated on the basis of illustrative scales with competencies for mediation that are provided in the Companion Volume to CEFR, tasks have natural for students communicative situation, which indicates for whom and with what purpose mediation is carried out. Provided that these requirements are met, mediation tasks fully and completely correspond to the activity-oriented approach in foreign language teaching and help to optimize educational process.
