第1版前言
在經(jīng)濟(jì)全球化進(jìn)程不斷加快的今天,我國(guó)改革開放進(jìn)入了快速和縱深發(fā)展期,國(guó)際商務(wù)活動(dòng)和經(jīng)濟(jì)技術(shù)的交流也日益頻繁。高職高專院校商務(wù)英語專業(yè)的學(xué)生不僅需要具備熟練的英語技能,還必須具有良好的溝通技巧和嫻熟的實(shí)踐能力,才能適應(yīng)當(dāng)代商務(wù)領(lǐng)域各項(xiàng)工作的需要。《商務(wù)英語口語》是一本以交際功能和中心話題為綱要編寫的口語教材。本書注重把學(xué)生置于多元文化背景之中,提供真實(shí)的語言環(huán)境和標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的語言范例,強(qiáng)調(diào)知識(shí)性、信息性、實(shí)用性和功能性,引導(dǎo)學(xué)生積極主動(dòng)地進(jìn)行口語練習(xí),擴(kuò)展學(xué)生用英語進(jìn)行交流的綜合能力。本書可以滿足高職高專院校商務(wù)英語、國(guó)際貿(mào)易、國(guó)際商務(wù)等相關(guān)專業(yè)的大學(xué)生、從事國(guó)際商務(wù)工作的外經(jīng)貿(mào)從業(yè)人員、外事人員以及廣大英語愛好者的需要。
“商務(wù)英語口語”課程是根據(jù)高職高專商務(wù)英語專業(yè)學(xué)生需要開設(shè)的一門職業(yè)基礎(chǔ)必修課程,同時(shí)也是一門語言技能訓(xùn)練課。教育部頒布的《高職高專教育英語課程教學(xué)基本要求》中,強(qiáng)調(diào)打好語言基礎(chǔ),要求語言基本訓(xùn)練和語言應(yīng)用能力并重。本書的特點(diǎn)在于遵循知識(shí)與實(shí)踐相結(jié)合的原則,強(qiáng)化對(duì)學(xué)生英語聽說應(yīng)用能力的訓(xùn)練,為培養(yǎng)具備較強(qiáng)英語基礎(chǔ)技能和一定的商務(wù)貿(mào)易、商務(wù)談判和企業(yè)管理的綜合技能,適應(yīng)現(xiàn)代各類經(jīng)貿(mào)活動(dòng)要求的高級(jí)應(yīng)用型專門人才打下堅(jiān)實(shí)的基礎(chǔ)。

本書的板塊式結(jié)構(gòu)安排,系統(tǒng)地將背景知識(shí)、功能型對(duì)話及練習(xí)、知識(shí)點(diǎn)講解、擴(kuò)展練習(xí)、相關(guān)信息、思維拓展等內(nèi)容聯(lián)系起來。每個(gè)單元圍繞一個(gè)主題展開,其中又包含3~4個(gè)學(xué)習(xí)目標(biāo),根據(jù)每個(gè)目標(biāo)設(shè)置相關(guān)內(nèi)容的對(duì)話范例、注釋、句型及針對(duì)性訓(xùn)練,另外還設(shè)置了整個(gè)單元的語言重點(diǎn),其中Unit 1~8語言重點(diǎn)部分主要是分模塊的功能句型,Unit 9~16由于涉及的內(nèi)容專業(yè)性較強(qiáng),所以包括貿(mào)易術(shù)語或?qū)I(yè)術(shù)語加功能句型兩部分,便于學(xué)生靈活掌握和運(yùn)用。本書信息量大,實(shí)用性強(qiáng),注重激發(fā)學(xué)生積極參與口語活動(dòng)的興趣,培養(yǎng)學(xué)生對(duì)商務(wù)交際文化差異的敏感性;突出教師與學(xué)生以及學(xué)生之間互動(dòng)協(xié)作的重要性,啟發(fā)學(xué)生的想象力和創(chuàng)造力,從而能夠得體地使用工作交際用語,是廣大商務(wù)英語學(xué)習(xí)者的必備參考書。
