As a result, theteaching model is solidified and rigid. This paper, based on the standpoint of the POA theory, demonstrates theeffective ways in teaching the world literature courses. While using some literature works, the awareness ofidiology should be emphasied. It is essential to design and implement appropriate tasks for the students at differentstages, and put forward practical curriculum plans for the new international situation.展开更多
