. Relevant Explanations
This course fit for under-graduate students of all kinds of specialties in business

this course is bilingual teaching course, and requires the students to have primary
English vocabulary and oral ability.
. Proposals and the Abstract of Course Reform
1. This course is not simple specialty English study. In class, the teacher must
give up boring and long translation. For those English specialty words and terms,
the teacher should give their counterparts in Chinese directly, and increase the
ratio of teaching in English gradually. So, the students can adapt to bilingual
teaching gradually and increase their study interesting.
2. In class, we suggest mutual communication between teacher and students to
improve students initiative. The teacher should encourage students to participate class
activities to cultivate students the habits of expressing their opinions in specialty field.
3. The teacher should introduce the new development to students.
