Abstract

The “Production Oriented Approach” (POA) proposed by Professor Wen Qiufang separates input from output in Chinese English as SLA (Second Language Acquisition) classrooms. This review paper summarizes the articles published in domestic and foreign journals from 2007 to 2021 and concludes the definition of the POA as an effective localized English teaching approach which draws up the strengths of foreign theories. The article unscrambles the developments of the POA from its prototype “output-driven” hypothesis to its revised form “output-driven input-enabled” hypothesis. Subsequently, its optimization progress is discussed as a system consisting of teaching principles, teaching principles and teaching hypotheses. It points out the research trends of this theoretical fields and the strengths (i.e., learners’ motivation and autonomy, and effectiveness of improving English output) and weaknesses (i.e., individual differences, a lacking in-depth and holistic empirical research, and less scientific ways of assessments). Directions are also given to provide a reference for future research, application, and optimization of the POA.
