Teaching objectives, teaching tasks and teaching assessment are all designed and carried out under the guidance of POA. The results demonstrate that the English level and the workplace English ability of vocational college students have been improved by 3.5% and 4.7% respectively. It is safe to draw a conclusion that POA is feasible in college English instruction and could shed light on promoting teaching plans, methods and assessment in English instruction in colleges.
