剑桥商务英语大纲(中级)必备学习
美式论文、报告写作技巧编者按:美式教育的特点即是课程内容强调学生参与及创新运用,因此,报告便成了常见的考核学生学习成果的方式,比如实验报告、学期报告、专题报告、研究报告及论文(含毕业论文)等。
研究生presentation 及seminar 的机会更是占很大的比重,有些甚至占学期成绩很大比例。
如何完成报告、论文同时得到良好的成绩,是本文提供给有志留学的有心人参考的目的。
美国大学生由於自小已养成自动寻找答案习惯,在启发式的教育环境下,写报告、论文对他们来说比较不陌生,虽然专业知识上美国学生不见得比外籍学生强,但是表达能力由於自小培养,加上英语能力的优势,常比外籍学生在报告、论文方面有较隹的利基。
反之中国学生比较缺乏报告写作的训练,因此如果在留学过程中无法适应美式教育会比较辛苦,其实论文、报告的写作要领其实不难,只要把握技巧就可水到渠成。
通常论文由篇首(Preliminaries),本文(Texts)以及参考资料(References)三部分构成;而这三大部分各自内容如下:(一) 篇首:封面(Title)序言(Preface)谢词(Acknowledge)提要(Summary)目录(Tables and Appendixes)(二) 本文:引言(Introduction)主体,含篇(Part)、章(Chapter)、节(Section) 、以及注释(Footnotes)(三)参考资料:参考书目(References or Bibliography)附录资料(Appendix)。
进行论文或报告写作之前,先要确定想要表达的主题,主题确定后,将其具体表达,即为题目。
题目可以提供研究者:一.研究的方向二.研究的范围三.资料搜集的范围四.预期研究成果通常在确定题目之後就开始找资料从事研究,建议在找资料之前最好去问教授有哪些参考资料来源可供参考引用。
构思为确定写作大纲或Proposal 的先前步骤,大纲是论文、报告的骨干,Proposal 是研究的架构、流程及范围的说明书。

专门用途英语教材评估_以_新编剑桥商务英语_学生用书_中级_为例_姜婷
经济研究导刊ECONOMICRESEARCHGUIDE总第177期2012年第31期SerialNo.177No.31,2012引言随着中国改革开放和加入世界贸易组织,中国对外交流进一步加强,因此对英语专业人才的需求日益增长,随之而来的问题就是英语专业的人并不懂其他行业,比如商务、金融、科技等专门用途领域的英语。
一个新的专有名词进入人们的视线“专门用途英语”(ESP-English for Specific Purposes )。
ESP 是“一种语言学习理念,在该观念的引导下,所有关于学习内容和学习方法的决定都依赖于学习者的学习需求”(Hutchinson &Waters ,2002)。
ESP 是历史发展的必然产物,特别是在20世纪70年代早期,人们学英语带有很强的目的性。
“当时的石油危机导致大量资金和西方专家涌入石油国家,英语迅速成为影响商业、经济合作的瓶颈。
迫于时间、金钱的压力,人们迫切需要成本效益较高,目的明确的专业英语课程,即专门用途英语课程。
”(严玲,2011)在中国,虽然专门用途英语教学起步较晚,但发展很快,各类ESP 教材层出不穷,比如《新视野商务英语》、《法律英语综合教程》、《金融专业英语》等等。
本文以商务英语为主线,选取了卓越亚马逊商务英语图书排行榜销量第一的《新编剑桥商务英语(学生用书)(中级)》。
因为该书由英国剑桥大学考试委员会推荐,考试针对性强、代表性最广,是广大准备参加BEC 考试学生的首选教材。
本文将根据Hutchinson 提出的教材评价量表来分析《新编剑桥商务英语(学生用书)(中级)》。
一、Hutchinson 的教材评价量表教材是根据学科教学大纲系统阐述学科内容的教学用书,它是知识授受活动的主要信息媒介,是教学大纲的进一步展开和具体化。
教材可以是印刷品(包括教学指导用书、补充读物、图标等),也可以是声像制品(包括幻灯片、影片、录音带、录像带、磁盘、光盘等)。

新编剑桥商务英语(中级)Module_12Module 12wordlistcase litigation court prosecute defense rights judge sue lawyer trademarkexpressionsCan you explain what you mean?Could you...repeat that? / say that again?Do you mind if I answer that at the end?I can't really comment on...I'd like to come back to that point later on if that's OK.I just need to check with someone first.I'm afraid I'm unable to answer it at the moment...Let me get back to you on that.Sorry, I didn't...hear you. / catch that.Sorry, I didn't understand the question.Sorry I don't follow you...Thank you for asking that.That's a good question.Module 12.1 Business LawA color problemListening1) This first short discussion task leads into the topic of how trademarks can be too similar and cause legal proceedings between companies operating in the same area of business. Discuss the problem as a class.AnswerIn this case both phone operators are using logos which use the same color. One operator could argue that customers willtherefore confuse the brand and that their competitor is making use of their brand image.Extension12.1 Before students do exercise 2, you could play the listening and students can compare their ideas in exercise 1 to those described in the interview. Find out which of the answers they gave are mentioned in the recording. This acts as a useful listening for general information before the next exercise.2) 12.1 Students need to read the journalist's notes before they listen to the news programme and write in the missing words. Answers1 TV commercials2 T-shirts3 orange4 petrol company5 green6 shape7 business 8 colors12.1 Listening scriptP=Presenter R=ReneP Business news now, and the telecoms firm Galacall has announced it may be taking legal proceedings against the newcomer and potential rival in the telecoms market, Frontline. Frontline recently ran a series of TV commercials in which all its sales staff wore distinctive purple T-shirts. Galacall, whose trademark brand name appears in a similar shade of purple, hasn't said it will sue Frontline yet but is considering its position. Well, on the line to discuss this story is lawyer and legal expert in trademark law, Rene Mackersmann for the London-based firm Parkers and Mackersmann.R Good morning.P So Rene, I was wondering how serious Galacall is about all this? Surely they only have a case against a company which infringes the trademark by using a similar name, don't they?R Well, no. In fact there are a number of examples where companies or brands have tried to prevent others from using what they consider as trademark colors. Take the case of the mobile phone company Orange trying to stop easyMobile using the color orange. The easyGroup company had used orange on all its previous ventures, but when it launched a rival mobile phone brand, the operator Orange said easyMobile was breaking the law by using its color in the same marketplace. Then there was the oil company BP, whose logo is green and yellow. They took out litigation against an Irish petrol company who tried to paint its petrol stations green.P So do you think you can use the same color as long as your product is different?R Absolutely. For example, the food manufacturer Heinz uses turquoise on its cans but it couldn't stop someone from using the same color on, say, bicycles.P Can you tell me if there's anything else you can buy the rights on?R Oh sure. Trademarks mean firms have rights over anything like color or shape.P Shape as well?R Absolutely. Take Toblerone. They have the rights on triangular boxes for their chocolate.P So back to Galacall and Frontline. I'd like to know what you think the outcome will be if it ever gets to court. Who'll win?R Well, I'm not the judge, but if the prosecution can provethe color will confuse customers and damage Galacall's business then they might just win it.P Rene Mackersmann of Parkers and Mackersmann, thank you very much.R You're welcome.Legal termsvocabulary3) Students match the words to the definitions. They can refer to the notes and listening script as well as using a dictionary.Answers1 I2 A3 F4 G5 B6 E7 H8 J9 CColorful casesReading4) Two of the three articles provides students with more background on two of the cases mentioned in the listening. The other article is about quite a famous issue linked with the search engine, Google.Students match the statements to the case. When checking answers. ask students to refer to the part of the text which gives the answer.Answers1 C (the "premises" refers to the petrol station)2 B (Normal people...aren't likely to face legal proceedings)3 A (The operator has followed the easyGroup trademark branding and used orange.)4 B (Google has said it intends to stop...)5 A (Orange may be taking easyMobile to court...though easyMobile is part of a bigger company called easyGroup.)6 C (TOP is an Irish company but BP can only sue its stations in Northern Ireland which come under United Kingdom law.)7 B (Google had said it intends to stop the use of its name.../A spokesman said: We think it's important to make the distinction between...)5) Put students into pairs or small groups to discuss the questions. With the question about trademarks, students could comment how much they think a brand name affects what they buy, or if their own company's trademark is important for it. The second question is more open to different points of view with students saying if they think companies like Google have a fair case.Indirect questions and tagsGrammar1) 12.1 Students at this level will still have problems with word order when using indirect questions and even greater difficulties using tag questions effectively. Give them time to read 0-4 before they listen to 12.1 again. With stronger groups ask them to try and predict the answers before listening.Answers1 don't they2 you can use the same color3 there's anything else4 you think the outcome will beAsk students to try and summarise the rules based on what happens in 0-4. After some suggestions ask them to look at the grammar summary on page 130 and check if they are correct.2) Elicit from students the fact that a speaker can sound more polite and less direct by using indirect questions and tags. They are especially useful if you want to encourage people to give their opinions and get them talking.3) Students correct sentences 1-8. Note that sentence 7 is a direct question.Answers1 Do you think business will become...2 I was wondering what you think...3 ... a good product, isn't it?4 ... by plane, won't they?5 Do you think employees can work...6 ... what your plans for your future career are?(or) ... what your plans are for your future career?7 ... experience do you think would help...8 ... for three years, haven't you?PronunciationWith question tags, the intonation rises if we are very uncertain and falls if we are asking to check and confirm information we think we know. Write the following sentences on the board with the arrows and drill them.Good marketing is more important than a good product, isn't it? ↘You've studied English for three years, haven't you? ↗4) Students take turns to ask and answer questions 1-8 in exercise 3.Ask students to prepare five direct questions for a colleague about their work and life. Then tell them to swap these questions with their partner who must rewrite them as indirect questions or sentences ending in a question tag. Finally, students ask and answer their final versions of the questions with a partner.Photocopiable activity 12.1See page 182.The BEC Vantage speaking gameSpeaking5) You will need to have some dice for this lesson so that each group has one to roll. Put students into groups of three or four and let them study the instructions for the game. Students work their way round the board creating questions for other players.These will be the types of questions students can expect in the Speaking Test. They are also expected to create questions in Parts Two and Three. These will vary between direct and indirect questions.The question does not have to include the exact words on the topic square. Here are some examples:(home or country) Could you tell me where you are from? (ways of working) Does your company use flexitime? (training/education) Do you think people should continue their education throughout their lives? (food and drink) I was wondering what a favourite dish is in your country.(forms of advertising) How effective do you think leaflets are compared to word-of-mouth advertising?AlternativeYou may not want to follow the game format in some classes(such as one-to-one lessons). If that is the case, just ask your student or students to create questions at random using combinations from the board for practice.Module 12.2 Handling questionsDifficult questionsListening1) Students could discuss the situations in pairs or as a class. Ask students to think of possible direct questions the people would ask. You may also want to give a few examples for the first situation to give them the idea.Possible questionsA The customer might ask: Can I have a refund? Can I exchange this for something else? The shop assistant might ask: When did you buy it? Do you have the receipt? Did you pay by credit card or cash?B The employee might ask: Why wasn't I paid for that overtime I did? Why is the tax higher this month?C The student might ask: What did I get wrong? Why was my mark so low? The teacher might ask: What went wrong? Did you revise?D The manager might ask: Have you read our policy on sending emails? Why did you send so many?E The journalists might ask: What is the company doing to solve the problem? Will you be giving customers a refund?ExtensionWrite students' suggestions for each situation on the board and if any of the questions contain mistakes use this opportunity to clarify any points of grammar. At the end, put students into pairs and ask them to roleplay each of the situations using the questions they have brainstormed.2) 12.2 Students listen to the conversations and match them to the five situations in exercise 1.AnswersConversation 1: CConversation 2: EConversation 3: BConversation 4: AConversation 5: D12.2 Listening scriptConversation 1S=Student T=TeacherS I'm sorry but I don't understand this mark. Why was it so low? I mean, I thought I'd answered everything. What else was I supposed to write?T Look, I can't really comment on that until I've looked at it. Give me a day and let me get back to you on that. OK?Conversation 2PRM=PR Manager J=JournalistPRM OK. Are there any questions? Yes?J So you've announced that you'll be recalling all the items from supermarkets and stores, but do you have any ideas about what caused the problem?PRM That's a very good question.

Students categorise the questions to complete the language summary.Answers1,2,3: A,C,E 4 F 5,6: B,DResponding to questionSpeaking5) Students could work in pairs to decide on an appropriate response to each situation. There may be more than one possibility in some situations.Possible answers1 Sorry, I didn't understand the question.2 I'm afraid I'm unable to answer that at the moment.3 That's a very good question.4 I just need to check with someone first.5 I'd like to come back to that point later on if that's OK.6 I'm afraid I'm unable to answer that at the moment.6) Students in pairs roleplay each of the six situations in exercise 5. One student make and asks the type of questions for a situation, and the other student gives an appropriate response.Possible conversation(1)A: If I was talking to your colleagues, what do you think they would say is your greatest strength but also your main weakness when it comes to dealing with other people?B: Sorry, I don't follow you? Do you mean my colleagues in my current job?A: Yes or any previous work colleagues?B: Well, first of all, they'd say I was...ExtensionFor more practice with this language point, students could roleplay the situations in exercise 1 on page 120 (which they might have done earlier) and this time use some of the responses.Press releaseReading1) Begin by asking students if they know what a press release is and whether they ever use them where they work. Pre-work learners may also know that their college or place of study lets the local press know about its academic successes or notable events. Then ask students to read the "How to..." text and answer the questions. Note that the answer to question 3 isn't in the text but students should be able to guess..Answers1 When they have important news, company announcements, or at any time when it's possible to give an "interesting slant".*2 When the story explains how your company has helped the local community or has raised money for charity. Also the story might be about success or release to other hot topics. They won't use it if it seems like an advert.3 One advantage is that a press release is free publicity andalso that the public tend to take more notice of the company than they would from seeing an advertisement.*You may need to explain the term, "interesting slant". This often refers to newspaper stories which take an ordinary or even potentially uninteresting event but manage to make it interesting in some way.2) Give students one minute to read the four press release quickly for general meaning, and then to say which one isn't good.AnswerText C isn't a good press release because it reads like an advertisement. It announces a sale with discounts and there is no suggestion that the company has done anything useful for the community.3) Students now match the four texts to the statements. Allow about five minutes for this more detailed reading.Answers1 C2 D3 A4 A5 B6 C7 B4) Students work in groups of three (or four) and discuss the releases. They can argue which one they think readers will be most interested in and also refer back to the "How to..." article and its suggestion for what makes a good release.5) In this exercise, students focus on expressions to structurea press release.Answers- Introduces the news: I am writing / It is always good to hear - Refers to reader's knowledge: As many of you are aware / As many local people will know- Announces good news: We are therefore pleased to announce / we are delighted / we are celebrating- Handles bad news: Contrary to recent suggestions / we are taking this very seriouslyA press releaseWriting6) Student write a press release in the form of a letter to the editor of a newspaper. You could set a word limit of 140 words to reflect Part Two of the writing test. Students could begin by underlining or highlighting any key information or words from the information in the email and the handwritten notes as well as think how they can use the expressions in exercise 5.Possible answerDear Editor,Contrary to recent suggestions that the Everyman Theatre may be closing, we are pleased to announce the opening of our new cafe on May 1st. We are celebrating this event with a party for local people at 7pm. After that, the cafe will be open during the day for lunchtime shoppers as well as in the evenings for theatre audiences. We also intend to hold regular cabaret nights in the cafe. Monday for the cafe was raised by "Friends of the Everyman" and this also helped pay for the Internet access facilities. Two days after the cafe opening, the musical "guys and Dolls" will start on May 3rd in the main theatre, starring well-known TV actor Rene Travis.Please find enclosed designs for the new cafe.Yours sincerelyModule 12.3 Speaking Test: Part ThreeExam formatStudents read about the final part of the speaking test. Make sure they fully understand what happens if three people attend the exam. This occurs in situations where centres are examining odd numbers of candidates. Students need to be aware that the exam will be longer and they receive as much speaking time per person as they would in an exam with two candidates.Exam practice1) This exercise is a review of expressions that have come up during the students' book or that they might already know. Each student could write one expression for each category and then share their ideas with other students so that everyone has a good selection of expressions to draw on during the exam. Possible answersExpress an opinion: I think.../ In my opinion.../I feel that.../ It's important that...Compare and contrast information: On the one hand... on the other hand.../Ask the other person for their opinion: What do you think? / How do you feel about...?/ Do you agree?Ask for clarification or repetition: Do you mean...?/ Sorry, I don't quite follow you. / Can you repeat that? Agree: That's right. / Yes, and.../ I agree.../ Sure. Disagree: I know what you mean, but.../ Yes, but.../ Don't you also think, though, that...Students can discuss this exercise in pairs or groups, but make sure they are very clear on the correct answers at the end. To extend this, students could rewrite any statements marked B to make them give good advice (see these in brackets below).Answers1 B (In Part Three you should work together and support your partner so both of you have plenty of time to speak.)2 G3 G4 B (Listen to what your partner says and respond appropriately.)5 G6 B (Only discuss the topic given to you for discussion.)7 G**Note that candidates won't necessarily fail if they can't agree or can't reach a conclusion, but it is preferable.3) Students roleplay this part of the exam by working in pairs and discussing the topics on page 125. You can set a time limit of about three minutes per discussion as in the exam. When students finish the first topic, they move on to the next. After they have discussed two or three of the topics you could stop everyone to give some general feedback. Give praise for pairs who are collaborating well. Give feedback on any expressions or if necessary input any new phrases which you think might help their discussions.Photocopiable activity 12.2。
