This collection bridges the gap between research and practical
applications by showcasing the latest research developments on
business English as a lingua franca and the ways in which they
might better inform language teaching practice. Featuring
contributions from both established and emerging researchers in the
field, this book brings together research findings on business and
workplace English pedagogy with a focus on addressing issues and
challenges around spoken communicative needs in the workplace. The
volume explores spoken communication in the business context across
a diverse range of settings and media, including oral
presentations, small talk, meetings, business negotiations, and
interviews. Taken together, the book offers an up-to-date synthesis
of research on key topics at the intersection of spoken workplace
communication and language teaching toward facilitating more
engaged, empirically grounded business English as a lingua franca
teaching. This book will be of particular interest for students and
scholars in business communication, workplace communication, and
English for specific purposes.
This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction for students
and professionals who are studying English for business or
workplace communication and covers both spoken and written English.
Based on up-to-date research in business communication and
incorporating an international range of real-world authentic texts,
this book deals with the realities of communication in business
today. Key features of this book include: use of English in social
media that reflects recent trends in business communication;
coverage of the concept of communicative competence; analysis of
email communication; introduction to informal English and English
for socialisation as well as goodwill messages, such as thank you
or appreciation messages, which are a part of everyday interaction
in the workplace; examination of persuasive messages and ways to
understand such messages; an e-resources website that includes
authentic examples of different workplace genres and a reference
section covering relevant research studies and weblinks for readers
to better understand the topics covered in each chapter. This book
goes beyond the traditional coverage of business English to provide
a broad and practical textbook for those studying English in a
workplace setting.

This book provides a blended approach in outlining the properties
of grammatical knowledge that have been causing difficulty to
Chinese speaking learners, including tense and aspect, articles,
passives, unaccusatives, plurality and motion verbs. It explains
from different linguistics perspectives how these
constraints/difficulties might be dealt with. It also offers
readers a comprehensive account of these problems, and outlines the
possible pedagogical solutions teachers can try in the classroom.
These topics are selected because they bring substantial challenges
and difficulties to Chinese English as a Second Language (ESL)
learners. This book bridges the gap between acquisition theory and
language pedagogy research, benefiting not just language learners
but language teachers around the world, and all those who would
like to witness collaboration between second language acquisition
theory and second language teaching practice in general. It
initiates future work in which researchers from different fields
with diverging theoretical perspectives and methodological
approaches will be able to develop studies that are compatible with
each other. This overall can facilitate our understanding of second
language acquisition, and how instruction might help. Â
