英文摘要 | Recent social and economic changes have meant that more and more university students of different disciplines or adult learners preparing to work in the field of business are asking for English courses which directly address their occupational or professional needs. At the same time, a great deal of attention is paid by many language teachers or course organizers to identify appropriate content and develop needs-directed teaching of a Business English course. In other words, designing a language course is a systematic process connecting a set of essential components with results that meet learners’ needs, solve learning problems and help modify the course. To attempt to investigate and fulfill Business English students’ needs, set up teaching principles, and select effective teaching techniques, an assessment plan plays an important role in course design. Therefore, in a modified language assessment plan, three sources of data concerning learners’ needs, learning assessment and course evaluation were gathered from about 60 university students in two Business English classes from September 2006 to June 2007. For Business English courses, this paper catering for both learners and teachers has several aims: 1) to design and propose a framework of language assessment; 2) to bridge the gap between learners’ needs and course design, applying the framework suggested in practice; 3) to develop appropriate content of and effective methods used in a Business English course; 4) to bring the course to life and solve possible learning and teaching problems. Additionally, the implications in teaching Business English would prepare the ground for more in-depth discussion and research of related issues. |
