伴随经济全球化和我国经济国际化的进程,国內外大中型企业、跨国公司等对既懂商务又会英语的复合型人才的需求与日俱增,这也促进了我国高等教育商务英语专业的快速发展。目前,全国有700多所高等院校开设了外贸英语、商务英语等课程,工商管理、金融等商科专业也都开设了以商务为核心內容的英语课程,部分院校甚至设立了商务英语专业。近几年来,全国性的商务英语教学、学术研讨会频频召开。我国国际商务快速发展及人才市场对商务英语人才的强劲需求、外语就业市场人才多元化推动了英语专业教学改革和教材的建设,各院校都迫切需要一套能体现商务特色与人才培养规格相适应的新教材,以改变英语教材与人才培养和需求不相适应的状况。 商务英语属于专门用途英语,国外大学多将其归为ESP(English for Special Purposes)。目前,我们国內这样系统的专业教材并不很多。王正元教授领衔总主编、由全国20余所大学40余名英语教授、副教授、讲师历时两年多编写的这套“新时代大学商务英语系列教材”的出版是我国高等教育商务英语教材建设的一个新成果。 这套教材共14本,包括读写、视听说、写作、口译,涵盖了商务英语的基本主体课程,编著者基于‘‘商务知识+英语能力=核心竞争力”的编写理念,力求在企业战略、市场营销、人力资源、企业文化、经营运作等商务语境中培养学生的英语交际能力。商务知识与英语能力相结合、商务语境与语言活动相结合、能力培养与就业需求相结合的编写思路使这套教材商务內容丰富,英语操练有的放矢,凸显了人才培养规格,给这套教材带来了亮点。 这套教材在內容安排上注重了语言的体验现、语用观,体现了商务英语的科学性、系统性、实用性及任务型教学法。这是一套适合高等院校商务英语专业和商科英语课程使用的教材。 同传统的英语语言文学比较起来,商务英语是我们这个时代经济发展催生的新事物,它必将在市场经济的强劲需求中茁壮成长。为更好地培养复合型人才,英语教材的建设任务是繁重的。这套教材需要在使用中逐步完善提高,以满足我国对外经济贸易、国际商务活动对革语人才的需要。
这套教材不同于以文学、文化为内容,以传授知识为主要目的的教材,而是以培养商务英语交际能力为目标的教材,教材编写突出以下特点: 1)商务知识的实用性。本套教材内容包括了商务背景、市场营销、战略管理、国际贸易、金融常识、人力资源、企业文化、企业案例等商务实用知识。 2)语言学习的认知性。本套教材各课的Reading部分,根据不同的语篇采取了语篇视点、认知参照点、框架、图式等分析方法对课文分析作了提示,以培养学生的语篇分析能力和快速获得信息的能力。 3)完成任务的体验性。教材安排了以案例(Case)或话题(Topic)为内容的讨论或演练,让学生在商务交际中体验和完成某项商务任务。 4)商务知识的可延伸性。教材在内容安排上注重商务知识的延伸,注重商务、语言、文化、行动的结合及文本引申讨论。 我们在编写这套教材时,还兼顾了这样一些关系:商务知识与英语能力的关系;完成任务与英语专业四、八级考试的关系;英语基础与商务知识的关系。精读课每个单元都安排了听、说、读、写、译项目,每个项目都给出了要点提示,并提炼出语法聚焦,尽量使这套教材充分体现:以商务知识为载体、以培养英语交际能力为目的、坚持以市场需求为导向、以培养创造力为宗旨、重视英语专业四、八级考试规格。
