The Business English Language Curriculum

Abstract

The present study came to life as a result of the scientific inquiry and classroom practice I carried out over a period of almost twenty years of teaching business English at tertiary level, before, during and after completing a PhD thesis in Business English language curricula. I have constantly, throughout these years, tried to combine theoretical investigations with practical applications, and whenever possible, I kept a record of the analysis of quantitative and qualitative data obtained as a result of my classroom research, and analysed it in order to improve my teaching performance and my students’ learning experiences, or, as the case may be,to present the results on different occasions, such as conferences or round tables dedicated to the subject.
