Exploration and Practice of Ideological-Political Education Models in University German Courses Driven by the Production-Oriented Approach (POA) under the Context of New Engineering Education

This study explores innovative approaches to integrating ideological and political education into university German courses under the framework of the Production-Oriented Approach (POA), within the context of New Engineering Education. Using the seventh unit, “Career and Work”, from New College German (Volume 2) as a practical case, a three-stage task chain of “Driving-Facilitating-Evaluating” is designed to deeply integrate language skill development with professional value education and ideological-political goals. Teaching practices demonstrate that this model, through comparative professional ethics analysis, contextualized task design, cross-cultural comparisons, and tiered language production tasks, effectively enhances students’ intercultural critical thinking abilities and professional value identification. Abstract concepts such as “craftsmanship spirit” and “green development concepts” are translated into observable German communicative behaviors. This research provides an interdisciplinary paradigm for ideological-political education in foreign language courses, addresses the New Engineering Education’s demand for fostering engineers’ social responsibility, and offers practical insights for cultivating outstanding engineers with both national identity and global perspectives.
