 定义

:英语 + 商务(蔡芸, 2004 ) 我国当前的情况是,商务英语是作为英语专业的一 个方向或是一个以英语为主业的专业,学生需要较 高程度的英语水平(语言知识和应用技能),以及 充分了解英语国家的社会文化;要完成这个任务就 需要设置一系列的英语语言和文化课程,不是一门 ESP 类型的商务英语课程能过承担的。此外,学生 还要具有系统的商务知识,这就需要提供一系列的 商科专业课程。 2010-04-23 中南财经政法大学 商务英语教学 及其课程教学设计实践 10

1.4 商务英语(课程)与商务英语专业

 商务英语(课程)与商务英语专业

:

目前的文 献研究以及多数人对商务英语的认识焦点都 集中在商务英语(课程)方面。  认识分歧较大,争论较多。  国家教育部 2007 年所批复的“商务英语”,

不是一门课程, 而是一门专业。

1.4 商务英语

(课程)

与商务英语专业

     前者是语言(工具)的特性,后者是专业(复合) 的特性。 商务英语专业设计应该把握核心、因地制宜的进行 复合。 核心,就是英语 — “商务英语课程”。 差异:在教学过程与学习方法方面与普通英语没有 什么差别,明显的差别在于其教学内容。商务英语 课程的内容应偏重商务题材。 这两个概念的区分,有助于商务英语专业设计和研 究。 2010-04-23 中南财经政法大学 商务英语教学 及其课程教学设计实践 14

1.5 商务英语专业 的定义

 商务英语专业 是以英语和经营类(管理学、 经济学、法学、贸易)等相关学科的主干课 程为主修内容的应用型、交叉型、多门类的 复合型学科。它的目标是培养能够以英语为 工具,独立、熟练、直接、有效地进行各种 国际商务活动的国际型人才。(张武保, 2007 ) 2010-04-23 中南财经政法大学 商务英语教学 及其课程教学设计实践 15

商务英语专业核心竞争力是什么?

 任何新生事物的生存和发展都有其独特新颖、 与众不同的一面,否则就会被淘汰。这就是 竞争力的作用。  核心竞争力 (Core competitive competence): 由美国管理学者 C. K. Prahalad 和 Gary Hamel 在 1990 年提出。企业的成功不再归功 于短暂的或偶然的产品开发或灵机一动的市 场战略,而是企业核心竞争力的外在表现。 2010-04-23 中南财经政法大学 商务英语教学 及其课程教学设计实践 38

 核心竞争力包括三个方面: 1 )能很好的实现顾客所看重的价值; 2 )必须是企业所特有的、并且是竞争对手难 以模仿的; 3 )具有延展性,能够同时应用于多个不同的 任务,使企业能在较大范围内满足顾客的 需要。 2010-04-23 中南财经政法大学 商务英语教学 及其课程教学设计实践 39

商务英语专业的核心竞争力

1 )教育产品的特殊性 教育的产品 — 人才; 学校的客户 — 用人单位; 客户看重的价值 — 体现在毕业生就业率。(商务英语专 业毕业生的就业率一直在 90% 以上,高踞就业率榜首)。 2 )商务英语是复合型专业,英语是核心中的核心;师资要 求高 — 教师既要有复合型知识,又要有复合型经验。这 些特点都是难以复制、不易模仿的。 2010-04-23 中南财经政法大学 商务英语教学 及其课程教学设计实践 40

 3 )很好的延展性:以英语为工具,与其他有 形工具不同,一旦被掌握,不会成为累 赘、不需保养,有助于求学深造、求职与 升 迁,使学习者比他人获得更早、更多、 更准确的信息,在商务场合增添更加充足 的自信心。 2010-04-23 中南财经政法大学 商务英语教学 及其课程教学设计实践 41

商务英语专业的核心竞争力 体现在两个方面

 一是准确到位的商务语言(英语)表达;  二是综合性经营、商贸等方面的知识。 必须有良好的英语语言素质和相应的经营、 商贸等方面的知识,才能及时了解信息,把 握不断变化的国际形势,在国际竞争中时刻 处于有利地位。 这就是商务英语专业的核心 竞争力所在 。 2010-04-23 中南财经政法大学 商务英语教学 及其课程教学设计实践 42

的邮件往来           From: David Cotton To: 尚敏锐 /James Shang Subject: Re: Merry X'mas and A Happy New Year!

Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2008 15:08:03 +0000 Dear James, I was delighted to receive news of your activities. Thanks so much for making the presentations on Market Leader. No doubt you are one of the reasons that Market Leader has been selling well in China. As you know, we have done new editions of all the course-books, with substantial changes to the texts. I imagine the new editions will eventually reach you!

Please be assured that I would always be pleased to hear from you regarding the teaching of Market Leader. I hope one day to return to China to do another tour there. Tomorrow, I go to Athens to launch a new series of 4 course-books at Elementary - Upper intermediate level. The course-books are for adults and teach General English, not Business English. There is an EAP strand as one section offers a study skills and writing syllabus. There are also General English case studies which we have labelled Scenarios. We hope the course-books will sell as well the Market Leader.

I wish you every success in your teaching during 2008. And thanks you once again for all your efforts on behalf of the Market Leader course-books. We appreciate everything you are doing to promote our books.

Best wishes, David Cotton 2010-04-23 中南财经政法大学 商务英语教学 及其课程教学设计实践 45
