There is a great need for competent teaching of Business
English in tertiary institutions in Vietnam.
At the Hanoi Foreign Trade College (HFTC) alone, about 150
students per year seek training to equip them to work in export
and import organizations, banks for foreign trade and customs
departments.
In teaching such students, one problem is the provision of
interesting and relevant materials. This study addresses the
question of selection of materials and techniques for teaching
business English listening skills.
This Field Study Report consists of five chapters. Chapter 1
describes the purposes and aims of study, the background to
this study, dealing with students, the teaching and the
curriculum.
Chapter 2 looks at the general theory about listening and in
particular listening in business. The chapter also describes
listening requirements for business graduates from the HFTC.
Chapter 3 discusses criteria for selection of textbooks for
language teaching in general and for teaching listening skills
in business English in particular.
Chapter 4 surveys the teaching of business English in two
institutes of Technical and Further Education in the Australian
Capital Territory (ACT).
The final chapter makes suggestions for priorities to improve
the teaching of business English.
This Field Study Report should be regarded as an exploratory
attempt in choosing classroom techniques and materials for
teaching listening skills to students of commerce at the Hanoi
Foreign Trade College.
