Abstract

Based on the task-driven teaching model, this research explores how to train college students’ professional English ability and comprehensive literacy through a series of tasks in the “Professional English for Safety Engineering” course. 48 undergraduates from Ningbo University of Technology participated in the course. The research traced the entire teaching process, dividing the teaching practice into the steps of case presentation, professional literature acquisition, professional literature intensive reading, professional English writing and scenario simulation, and demonstrated the teaching concepts contained in the task-driven teaching model. The research uses questionnaires to understand the development of learners’ professional English ability. The results of the research show that the curriculum has improved the learners’ abilities in document reading, document translation and communication.
