Business English

(Business English Course)

The concept of "Business English" has not been short since its inception, but under the trend of internationalization, the English learning market is surging today, and many training institutions have adopted Business English as their main training program. What exactly is business English? Who is it suitable for? We just give some explanations from our perspective for your reference.

From the purpose of English training, there are both exam training and ability training. The business English community is in between.

When the Chinese market is more deeply integrated into the international economy and society, the domestic talent market is facing a growing demand for business English talents due to the landing of a large number of foreign companies. However, we have to explain again that business English is not omnipotent and does not exist independently. Many foreign companies need employees to have more professional English skills-"

It is understood that the number of business English classes at this stage is more than that of business English learners. In the face of a large number of training institutions, many business English classes make it difficult for many students to choose. Experts recommend that students better The characteristics are combined with their own needs, "the right medicine."

It can be roughly divided into two categories, one is in a business work environment, and the other is to hope to work in a business work environment in the future. Specifically, a business English learner should have good English ability at the beginning of learning, and be able to effectively and purposefully grasp and digest new things. Business English is a form of professional English. Like other professional English, such as tourism English, legal English, and medical English, it is a professional English with strong professionalism. The common point is that it must have the basic language foundation of English. To be an excellent business English talent, you must have a solid English foundation. In addition to imparting professional English knowledge in a good business English training course, the basic ideas of western business management are also essential. The Business English Examination was introduced to China in cooperation between the Chinese and British sides, and the certificate is highly authoritative.

In comparison, BEC has the rigorous style of study in the UK, highlighting its academic nature, while TOEIC also has the characteristics of the United States and is more practical. Although business English is "fashionable", it is not suitable for everyone. For example, the advanced certificate of BEC is relatively difficult. It requires students to have a good level of English because it is very purposeful and the scope of application is very clear. , Therefore, it is not the best choice for people who want to improve their English. In addition, business English is suitable for those who want to have an internationally accepted certificate to increase their employment weight. After a period of time, I feel that I am a working white-collar worker in a foreign company that I need to improve in my business English expression and communication, as well as my business knowledge and skills. Foreign students with BEC certificate can apply for British MBA.

Business English is the English we use to understand business scenarios. In fact, it understands us.

Business letters have their own characteristics. Here are some things to keep in mind when writing business correspondence:

1. Don't distinguish between the subject and the guest or blur. Example: Deciding to rescind the earlier estimate, our report was updated to include $ 40,000 for new equipment. It should be changed to Deciding to rescind our earlier estimate, we have updated our report to include $ 40,000 for new equipment. (We decided, not report)

2. Don't fragment your sentences.

Example: He decided not to audit the last ten contracts. Because of our previous objections about compliance. Two sentences should be joined together: He decided not to audit the last ten contracts because of our previous objections about compliance.

3. The structure is symmetrical and easy to understand. Example: The owner questioned the occupant's lease intentions and the fact that the contract had been altered with ink markings. It should be changed to: The owner questioned the occupant's lease intentions and ink alterations of the contract.

4. Don't mess with the singular or plural, otherwise it will be dazzling and uncomfortable. For example: An authorized person must show that they have security clearance. Authorized persons must show that they have security clearance.

5. The verb and subject should echo. Consider the difference between these two sentences: 1. This is one of the public-relations functions that is under-budgeted. 2. This is one of the public-relations functions, which are under-budgeted.

6. Don't change too much tense and tone. Reading business English is already a pain. Do nt waste anyone s energy.

7. Make punctuation accurate. For example: He did not make repairs, however, he continued to monitor the equipment. Should be changed to: He did not make repairs; however, he continued to monitor the equipment.

8. Choose the right words. Things like effects and effects, operative and operational, need to be figured out before they can be used.

9. Spelling is correct. With the computer spell check function, you can't be lazy.

10. Pay attention to capitalization. Don't capitalize the whole word unless necessary, unless cursing. For example: MUST change to OS immediately. Foreigners find it rude and drinking to be just as pleasant. To emphasize, use underscores, italics, and bold.

The English expert group gave an authoritative explanation. In fact, in English learning, the five issues that are most troublesome for children are listening, word memory, grammar, writing, and speaking. They are closely related to each other like a template forming a wooden barrel.

If you ca nt remember the words, you will forget the words, miss words, wrong words, and read the questions. You ca nt understand the words; wordsphrasessentences, words are the basis. By 2012, most schools completed basic words at the elementary school level. Primitive accumulation, word memory, and the most effective in the later stage are to memorize words in sentences. The early stage may feel a lot of work and trouble, but as long as you persist, the effect is significant.

If you do nt listen well, your spoken language is very poor. Read it aloud with your voice, read more, develop a sense of English, and then practice dialogue. For office workers, you can recommend a translation dictionary for you to read micro English, and accumulate every day. , Free practice, information is cutting-edge and interesting, really good.

The composition and use of grammar are very important when listening and words are very proficient. If you do not use grammar, you will encounter obstacles in communicating and writing with others, which will lead to inconvenience in the entire learning process. Smooth situation.

If you write poorly, you do nt know how to learn English comprehensively. If you master the listening and grammar, you may still make mistakes in reading questions. The composition is still not good because you read well and write well. The quantity and proficiency of words is the key. For example, the height at which a wooden bucket can hold water does not depend on the longest board, but the shortest one. In other words, no matter which special project is weak, no good result can be achieved. In short, to address weaknesses, make up for shortcomings, carry out special learning, and improve the mastery of word volume is the only way to improve English learning performance.

Language focus, language focus is the focus of the primary and intermediate stages of oral learning. Based on listening and speaking practice. The goal is to master a large number of everyday expressions and fixed expressions. Learn to communicate. When choosing materials, try to choose teaching materials for life conversation. The more familiar the subject and scenario of the textbook design, the more efficient the learning. Must choose audio materials. "Xinyuan English Speaking Companion" belongs to this series.

Business or Commercial English Correspondence refers to the communication used in transactions. In the United States, Business writing is commonly used, which includes letters, telegrams, telephones, telexes, reports, postcards, and so on. There are some differences between English and American in the style of correspondence, such as letterheads and titles, letter formats, words, and endings. Generally speaking, English correspondence is more conservative. Many British people like to use old-fashioned letters and more formal stereotypes. American correspondence is very angry, dynamic, and simple in format. Therefore, when we are writing to the United Kingdom or its old colonial countries, we must use standard English (Queen's English); if we are writing to the United States or regions within the sphere of influence of the United States, we must use American English. Of course, British-style language and culture have also changed in recent years, but in general, the differences between the two are obvious.

What is business English? The concept of "Business English" has not been short since its inception, but under the global trend, the English learning market is booming today. Many training institutions have adopted Business English as their main training program. Business courses taught outside of igg English. Business English is designed to meet the language requirements of workplace life and covers all aspects of business activities. The Business English course is not just to improve students' English level and ability. It is more to teach students a western business management philosophy, work psychology, and even how to deal with foreigners, how to cooperate and work with them. The methods and methods, as well as their living habits, are to some extent included in cultural concepts.

Judging from the current purpose of English training, there are both exam training and ability training. Business English is between the two. It is aimed at adapting to the language requirements of workplace life. It covers all aspects of business activities. The Business English course is not just to improve students' English level and ability. It is more to teach students a western business management philosophy, work psychology, and even how to deal with foreigners, how to cooperate and work with them. The methods and methods, as well as their living habits, are to some extent included in cultural concepts.

When the Chinese market is more deeply integrated into the international economy and society, the domestic talent market is facing a growing demand for business English talents due to the landing of a large number of foreign companies. However, we have to explain again that business English is not omnipotent and does not exist independently. Many foreign companies require employees to have more professional English skills-"occupational English", such as TOEIC and TOPE of ETS. Some people collectively refer to TOEIC as business English, in fact, there are differences between the two, their meaning and role are different. For professional English, students take a test and get a certain score to prove their ability to apply the English language. What students need and get is a score demonstrating their ability to perform the relevant work. In fact, such as the TOEFL, candidates who get high scores do not prove that they have the corresponding ability. Business English, as a specific course, emphasizes not only the language level, but also the improvement of the actual comprehensive quality. ABC will help students learn how to use English language to achieve higher career goals. For example, Western management concepts, work psychology, and how to deal with foreigners, etc., actually help students in their work.

We have to admit that business English is just a form of professional English. Vocational English can be said to have strong professional English, such as tourism English, legal English, medical English. But what they have in common is that they all have the basic language foundation of English. Business English is mainly characterized by its professionalism, oralization and strong pertinence. In the final analysis, practicality is the biggest characteristic of business English. Correspondingly, there are quite high requirements for training institutions offering corresponding courses.
