An Integrated Approach to Business English Teaching in China

Ruixue MA

Abstract


Chinese Business English Teaching (BET) has developed more rapidly since China’s entering the World Trade Organization (WTO). However, traditional BET has its problems such as too much emphasis on business knowledge and professional vocabularies, which leads to learners’ lower practical language ability. There is a great necessity to solve the problems to meet the increasing demand for high quality business talents being able to work competently in the context of economic globalization. Based on sound language teaching theories and practices, this paper proposed an integrated approach to BET which aims to cultivate business expertise rather than just teach professional terms and knowledge.

Key words: Business English Teaching (BET); Integrated approach; Task-based teaching; Application of video; Text structure analysis
