教育部新版《大學(xué)英語教學(xué)指南》提出,大學(xué)英語教學(xué)的主要內(nèi)容可分為通用英語、專門用途英語和跨文化交際三個(gè)部分,由此形成相應(yīng)的三大類課程。專門用途英語(English for Specific Purposes,簡稱ESP)以英語使用領(lǐng)域?yàn)橹赶,以增?qiáng)學(xué)生運(yùn)用英語進(jìn)行專業(yè)和學(xué)術(shù)交流、從事工作的能力,提升學(xué)生學(xué)術(shù)和職業(yè)素養(yǎng)為目的。商務(wù)英語屬于專門用途英語課程。伴隨著全球經(jīng)濟(jì)一體化和我國國際化的進(jìn)程,商務(wù)英語在涉外商務(wù)活動(dòng)日益頻繁的今天,使用范圍越來越廣,應(yīng)用性也越來越強(qiáng)。
