The widespread adoption of a production-oriented approach (POA) in classroom instruction design has established its operability and effectiveness in foreign language teaching. This study constructs a teaching model combining POA and flipped classroom teaching model to enhance the oral production ability of high school students. The model was applied to oral English teaching in an experimental class, and a paired-sample t-test was conducted on the pretest and posttest scores of the class to validate the effect of the model. Then, an interview was conducted to survey students’ attitudes toward spoken English. We observed significant improvement in students’ oral English ability and their interests in spoken English. Furthermore, the application of the new teaching model transformed the traditional input-driven teaching into output-driven teaching, fully mobilizing students’ subjective initiative in learning the English language.
