Chinese for Business and Professionals in the Workplace: Reaching across Disciplines

Editat de Haidan Wang, Christine Uber Grosse
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 sep 2022
This volume presents a series of the most up-to-date studies on Chinese for Specific Purposes (CSP), an area that has been underrepresented in Language for Specific Purposes (LSP). Drawing from the insights and trends in mainstream theoretical and methodological LSP research, chapters in this volume explore novelties that CSP has developed to prepare Chinese for professional learners for the global economy. These encompass:
  • needs analysis of less-surveyed high school Business Chinese or CSP academic writing classes
  • developments on internationally oriented engineering and internship programs in China
  • innovations in Chinese for business or legal materials development and review on textbook pragmatics
  • studies on language arts and Chinese language use in specific or business settings
  • technology-driven, project-based learning — or discipline-specific curriculum design.
Robustly supported by studies and analysis on the global scale, this volume comprises contributions by professionals from universities across Asia and the United States, each with decades of expertise in LSP. These chapters offer critical insights necessary to help LSP researchers and educators rethink curricula and develop new initiatives for LSP. They may also serve as transferable operations that enhance the practice of LSP as a crucial component of second language education.

Recenzii

"Chinese for Business and Professionals in the Workplace: Reaching Across Disciplines… finally, finally we see a well-crafted academic approach that responds to one or our greatest needs in language learning: the acquisition of language for professional purposes. There is no question that Chinese language learning presents unique challenges. This collection not only brings together those most expert in Chinese language learning, but each of the topics responds to these challenges with practical advice, sound academic knowledge, and level-appropriate examples. This comprehensive compilation will serve as a crucial foundation in the pedagogy of Chinese for Business for years to come."
Orlando R. Kelm, Director, Portuguese Flagship, University of Texas at Austin, USA
 
"With contributions of scholars active in the research and practices of Chinese for Specific Purpose (CSP), the editors provided an excellent and a well-rounded body of CSP scholarship both from theoretical as well as pedagogical perspectives. Scholars, practitioners and business executives would greatly benefit from learning about the scope of research, instructional innovations and how learners’ language skills transform into their professional success. In addition, this is a timely contribution to language learning models with service and experiential learning components."
Wei Hong, Senior Associate Dean and Professor of Chinese and Linguistics, Purdue University, USA
 
"I am very pleased to see how this text approaches the Needs Analysis (NA) in such a detailed and comprehensive manner. The NA has finally found a great home."
John J Staczek, Emeritus Professor, The Arizona State University, USA
