This book presents an empirical study to develop and validate a
proficiency scale of business English writing in the Chinese
tertiary context. Through a mixture of intuitive, quantitative and
qualitative methods, the book demonstrates how a pool of
descriptors are collectively formulated, statistically calibrated
and meticulously validated for the establishment of a proficiency
scale of business English writing. The writing scale differs in
significant ways from the existing language scales, most of which
were constructed in English as L1 or L2 contexts and applied to
English for General Purposes (EGP) domains. This book also provides
important insights into the construct of business English writing
as well as the methods for English for Specific Purposes (ESP)
proficiency scale development and validation. It is of particular
interest to those who work in the area of ESP teaching and
assessment.
