Abstract:

This study investigates the need of English language learning for business students considering the need for incorporating English for specific purposes (ESP) and English for general purposes (EGP) in a learning friendly course curriculum to improve business English communication and proficiency in English to meet the need for business students in a tertiary level. This study also aims to understand the views on English for General Proposes (EGP) considering the set up of objective oriented class room environment to execute the lesson plan within a smoother, flexible, out come based course curriculum and teaching-learning methods and supporting the students to incorporate their needs for ESP and EGP as well. As per English learning it is very important to reconstruct the course objective for ESP classroom as business students require some special care while learning the second language. So, the study analyses the need for learning English for business students as they used to learn English as a global language to serve the purposes of specific needs. To set up an objective oriented class environment incorporating the general English with Business English is a fundamental need for those students who are learning English to serve with proficiency. The authors tried to bring out the characteristics and the classification of ESP along with it sub-classes. The attempt is made to focus on the different roles played by an ESP teacher in the class.Regarding Business English, the authors shows how to collect course materials and methods of making the Business English learners communicatively competent.

Nelson, Michael Bernard. "Corpus-based study of the lexis of business English and business English teaching materials." Thesis, University of Manchester, 2000. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.488069.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis addresses two fundamental issues regarding lexis in the Business English environment. It firstly asks whether the lexis of Business English is significantly different from that of 'everyday' general English, and secondly, if the lexis found in Business English published materials is significantly different from that found in real-life business. In order to test these hypotheses two corpora were created to form the basis of the analysis: the Published Materials Corpus (PMC) consisting of 33 published Business English course and resource books at 590,000 running words and the Business English Corpus (BEC) at, 1,023,000 running words divided between spoken (44%) and written (56%) texts. The BNC Sampler corpus was used as reference corpus. These three corpora were then able to be lexically compared by using WordSmith 3 (Scott 1999) using statistically-based key words. The results of these analyses showed that it was possible to define the world of business lexis, and also how it was lexically separated from general English by placing the words into a limited group of semantic categories. These categories were found to recur across word class boundaries and showed a lexical world of business bounded by its people, institutions, activities, events and entities, The boundary limits of business lexis were placed by the non-business lexis of the negative key words and the semantic groups they formed. Representative words from each of the main semantic groups were chosen for further study to see how they behaved both semantically and grammatically. Louw's (1993) concept of semantic prosody was used to determine how Business English words associated with certain semantic groups, and Firth's (1957) and Hoey's (1997) idea of colligation was used to show which grammatical patterns the words typically formed themselves into. Results of these secondary analyses of the BEC showed that whilst some business lexis associates with semantic groups unique to itself, most lexis is formed into patterns of interrelated semantic groups which regularly co-occur with each other. Additionally, there was evidence to suggest that words form associations to some semantic groups when in the business environment, and others when out of it. In the business setting, the meaning potential of words was found to be reduced and this had consequences both semantically and grammatically. Fewer meanings were used than in general English - and, as grammatical patterning and meaning were found to be co-dependent, restricted meaning led to area-specific and restricted grammatical patterning. The same analytical methods were used in the analysis of the PMC and it was compared both to the BNC, to see how published materials differ from general English, and to the BEC, to see how two corpora, both purporting to be Business English, differed from each other. Where the BEC could be seen to show a limited and specialist lexis, the PMC was even more limited. The lexical world of business presented by the materials showed a stress on personal and interpersonal contact, and a focus on a limited number of business activities, notably entertaining, travel, meetings and presentations. There was less reference to states and qualities, and the lexis in the PMC concentrated even more than the BEC on tangible, concrete items

Abstract:

In some highly publicised cases in English universities well-established disciplines and departments are under threat of closure for financial reasons. The higher education curriculum in England appears to be increasingly shaped by financial pressures. This study argues that universities are tending to be run as businesses, and its central aim is to reveal the business models within. These can be a useful 'lens' through which to view developments in higher education. An overview of the historical development of the curriculum in English universities is presented. The literature on business models and on higher education curriculum change is examined, and a relationship between these two dimensions is developed. In order to discern the business models a qualitative analysis of twenty English university strategic plans is performed using Ritchie & Spencer's (1994) 'Framework' methodology. Two new business models that have explanatory power in the university context are identified, along with two other 'standard' models that are also apparent. These four models might provide a general template that can be used to assess and understand university operation. Some consequences of the business models are discussed. The inquiry questions the possible future direction of higher education in England in the light of these consequences.

Abstract:

The increasing globalization of trade has resulted in a growing need for Swedish corporations to ensure that their work force is able to communicate in English. In order to meet this demand, there is a growing market of companies offering courses in Business English. When English is used for communication between people from different linguacultural backgrounds in a business context it is referred to as BELF (Business English as a Lingua Franca). The purpose of this study was to investigate whether or not the participants and teachers in different classes of Business English are more open to the non-native speaker model, as this type of course is supposed to prepare the students for communication with people of various nationalities. This was done with the aim to explore how these attitudes can be linked to the development of communicative competence in a business context. In the study a survey was distributed to twenty-one participants of courses in Business English and four teachers were interviewed. The study showed that although the business context affects the attitudes of the participants, there is still a preference for a native-like model. However, the teachers show an open attitude towards BELF, focusing instead on promoting communicative competence in their teaching. The findings of this study support previous research in the field indicating that there exists a certain discrepancy between the perceptions of the teachers and learners as to what constitutes an effective communicator.

Abstract:

The general aim of the study is to increase the understanding of online business communication. The study focuses on Profin, a Finnish manufacturer of sliding doors, windows and doors. Profin has both Finnish and international customers. Therefore, a lot of emphasis is given on issues brought by intercultural communication. The study reviews Profin’s current communication activities and explores the possibilities that the social web environment offers for businesses. The subject is topical because of the growing significance of web communication and social media as part of business communication. The study applies communication theory, content analysis theory and previous research concerning the social web environment. Different elements of web based business communication are defined in the theoretical framework on the basis of previous research. The used methodology includes case study and theory guiding contents analysis: the analysis is guided by theory but not fully defined by it. The results of the study show Profin’s aims and activities of business communication. The company’s homepage serves as a communication channel between Profin and its stakeholders. One of the strengths of the homepage is the detailed product information, available in four different languages. The contents analysis of Profin’s homepage views the company’s English page critically, pointing out its problems and suggesting areas of improvement. Proposed improvements include offering more services on the pages in foreign languages and adding a section for frequently asked questions. The opportunities that social media offers for Profin are also discussed. The contents analysis of Profin’s homepage supports the rebuilding of the page which takes place in near future. The research produces topical information also for other companies about the important issues of online business communication. Internet based communication and social media change constantly. Staying up-to-date with these changes is vital for companies. On that account, a timely research is relevant for anyone working in the field of business communication<br>Tutkielman yleisenä tavoitteena on lisätä tietoutta verkkoviestinnästä ja kansainvälisen yritysviestinnän haasteista. Tutkielma kohdistuu suomalaiseen ikkuna- ja ovivalmistajaan Profiniin, jolla on asiakkaita sekä Suomessa että ulkomailla. Tutkielmassa tarkastellaan Profinin tämänhetkistä viestintää ja selvitetään sosiaalisen median yrityksille tarjoamia mahdollisuuksia. Aiheen tekee ajankohtaiseksi verkkoviestinnän ja sosiaalisen median merkityksen vahvistuminen osana yritysviestintää. Tutkielman teoreettisessa taustassa tarkastellaan viestintäteoriaa, sisällön analyysin teoriaa sekä sosiaalista mediaa. Yritysverkkoviestinnän erilaiset elementit on määritelty teoreettisessä viitekehyksessä aikaisemman tutkimuksen perusteella. Tutkielmassa on sovellettu tapaustutkimusta sekä teoriaohjaavaa sisällönanalyysiä: teoria ohjaa analyysiä määrittelemättä sitä kuitenkaan täysin. Tutkielman tuloksista käyvät ilmi Profinin viestinnälliset tavoitteet, käytännöt ja ongelmakohdat. Yrityksen kotisivu toimii viestintäkanavana Profinin ja eri sidosryhmien välillä. Kotisivun vahvuuksiin kuuluvat tarkat tuotekohtaiset tiedot, jotka löytyvät sivustolta neljällä eri kielellä. Kriittisessä sisällönanalyysissä nousivat esiin vieraskielisten sivujen puutteet verrattuna suomenkieliseen sivuun. Tutkielman perusteella keskeisimmät korjausehdotukset kotisivuille ovat useampien palveluiden tarjoaminen vieraskielisillä sivuilla ja usein kysyttyjen kysymysten lisääminen sivuille. Tutkielman tulosten perusteella pohditaan sosiaalisen median tarjoamia mahdollisuuksia Profinin yritysviestinnässä. Tutkimuksessa toteutettu sisällönanalyysi tukee Profinin kotisivujen lähitulevaisuudessa tapahtuvaa uusimista. Sähköinen viestintä ja sosiaalinen media muuttuvat jatkuvasti, ja yrityksille on tärkeää pysyä muutoksen mukana. Tutkielma tuottaa tähän liittyen uutta ja ajankohtaista tietoa verkkoviestinnästä kaikille yritysviestinnän parissa työskenteleville

Full text

Abstract:

Though a popular and somewhat controversial topic in discussions on language in IB, the notion of English as a (business) lingua franca/(B)ELF still lacks clear conceptualisation. This paper argues that research in IB and linguistics can be mutually complementary and supportive in conceptualising BELF, and that it is important to separate the concept of BELF from that of a common corporate language. The paper synthesises key works from both disciplines to conceptualise BELF as an emergent, multilingual use of English that adapts to the demands and resources of the specific context. It further argues that Wenger's concept of Communities of Practice offers a useful bridge between the disciplines, and that there is a need for more empirical research.

Abstract:

English language teaching has gone through a radical shift of emphasis in the last forty years, beginning with the communicative revolution in the mid-1970-s. The English language teachers are no longer all alone in their role as trainers as they are able to bring parts of the outside world to the classroom. Beyond the trainer’s “chalk and talk” and the trainees’ language and communication practice there is a range of materials in different media, which help the trainer to turn the Business English classroom into a varied learning/teaching environment. While printed text remains the most common training medium, both the ELT world and the non-ELT world give us access to a wide range of video and audio material, and increasingly multimedia.

Abstract:

The main objective of our paper is to present an overview of internet resources offering a broad variety of free resources for the teaching and learning of business English. The websites mentioned are some of the most popular business English sites on the web, designed to be of assistance to both students and teachers, that is they provide lesson plans, teacher designed activities and many other resources that complement and extend learning beyond the classroom. We have compiled a list of more than 30 links to free web pages related to business English, for which we further offer reviews, thus exploring the variety of these excellent resources that can be found on the Internet for sustaining active learning. We have also organized these resources according to criteria regarding the main topic areas dealt with, in an attempt to structure our analysis of these websites in conformity with their similarities. We believe that English teachers should keep themselves up-to-date with the helpful resources that can be found on the www, because the web offers invaluable information both for educators and for self-learners. The job of the teacher is that of guiding students towards self-education, self-development and self-assessment, assisting them throughout their endevours. Our aim as English teachers is not only to help students acquire skills and data present in the curriculum, but also to further develop these skills in the spirit of life-long education. Integrating technology into the classrooms enhances student motivation and teaching effectiveness, ultimately resulting in better education and increase of knowledge.

Abstract:

The unexpected transition from in-person to online teaching in the spring of 2020 took university language instructors off guard. The objective of my research is to show that adapting to the new-normal (i.e. unplanned shift to online teaching) had a ripple effect on teaching methods, learning goals, student motivation. The setting of the research is a Business English course at a university in Budapest (Hungary). The autoetnographic research I carried out provides personal reflections both on the objective elements of the course: needs, learning objectives, teaching material and methods and evaluation, and on the affective elements: student motivation and emotions. The findings show that adverse circumstances can force teachers and students not only to set more realistic learning goals, focusing on the most relevant and important materials, but by keeping standards high, to find a new form of motivation.

Abstract:

This didactic unit is aimed at the fifth semester students of the Business Administration, Marketing and International Business program, who have already completed the four basic levels of the Open Lingua program. This proposal seeks to develop skills and competencies that allow them to perform in different fields related to private, public and solidarity economy companies, and in various mediation and negotiation processes at national and international levels. The instructional design of this unit contains real-life situations, focused on the world of business, that allow students to interact in various types of business events. The grammatical and lexical concepts, necessary to interact successfully in these types of communicative situations, are introduced and applied. The educational activities are designed to offer opportunities to interact in business conferences, international exhibitions, and seminars, among others. The contents are framed in natural and meaningful contexts. This leads to a greater understanding of the type of language used in business and the way it is used to communicate. The contents are structured in three lessons in which the level of complexity of the topics, tasks, texts and transitions (4Ts) have been considered. Also, various types of activities that activate and reinforce previous knowledge and that, subsequently, evaluate the progress of the students, are included.

Abstract:

This article is devoted to identifying the patterns of the use of the language of corruption in English business discourse. In the course of the research, the author analyzes functional features of the language of corruption in English business discourse and describes in detail the various techniques underlying the replacement of the direct naming of “bribe, to give a bribe” to the euphemistic one in English. The analysis allows identifying language strategies characteristic of the modern English business communication.

Full text

Abstract:

The African Commonwealth countries have a long-standing history of strong trade, investment and diaspora linkages with the UK. These economic relationships have been fostered over time as a result of historical ties, similar business procedures and legal systems, and the widespread use of the English language. Together, these 21 countries represent about 40 per cent of the continent’s population and half of its gross domestic product (GDP). They also play a crucial role in driving international trade and investment flows from Africa. This issue of Trade Hot Topics explores the trade and investment linkages between the 21 African Commonwealth members and the UK. It also examines some of the key factors that are redefining these bilateral economic relationships.

Abstract:

Enterprise storage trends are all about core IT functions and day-to-day business challenges. 2020, however, was not your typical business year. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was clear that the demand for secure and affordable data and storage services was exacerbated, but more insight into the current landscape was needed, especially the role of open source in this equation. The SODA Foundation is an open source project under the Linux Foundation that fosters an ecosystem of open source data management and storage software for data autonomy. SODA offers a neutral forum for cross-project collaboration and integration and provides end-users quality end-to-end solutions. In April of 2021, the SODA Foundation, in partnership with the Linux Foundation, launched a survey to understand evolving data and storage trends that was conducted in English, Chinese, and Japanese-speaking markets — in particular, to identify the current challenges, gaps, and trends for data and storage in the era of Cloud Native, edge, AI, and 5G. The intention is to use this survey data to help guide the SODA Foundation and its surrounding ecosystem on important issues and help its members be better equipped to make decisions, improve their products, and the SODA Foundation to establish new technical directions.

Full text

Abstract:

The overarching goals for the UK in relation to global water security are to; tackle and reverse growing water insecurity and its consequences caused by depletion and degradation of natural water sources; and address poor water management and increasing demand. To do this, the UK has a well-developed water ‘offer’ that together can help reach the goal of global water security. This note details some of that water offer: UK water leadership: The UK developed the concept of modern sanitation and water supply, with an early example being the Victorian Bazalgette London sewer; Ownership and regulation: The UK has four models of ownership: government department in Northern Ireland, GoCo in Scotland, Mutual in Wales, and private companies in England. But the common thread is strong and clear, regulation to deliver the right outcomes for society; Competition and markets: The UK set up the world’s first water retail markets for business customers, delivering savings and environmental benefits. Similar market mechanisms are being developed for sewage sludge, which will help drive circular economy solutions; Innovation: The UK has a huge number of water tech start-ups and most water companies have labs and pilot schemes to support these fledgling companies. At the same time, the English regulator, Ofwat, has established a huge innovation fund, which along with the Scottish Hydro Nation initiative has made the UK the best place in the world for water innovation and tech.

The economy-wide impacts of different approaches to addressing fuel poverty: the importance of where, when and how public funds are spent. Energy Demand Research Centre (EDRC), 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.20919/mmaj1731.

Full text

Abstract:

Depending on the metrics and measurement used, at least 3.6 million UK households currently live in fuel poverty (i). This presents a public policy challenge in terms of reducing both fuel poverty and energy demand in ways that are positive for the wider economy, that support employment and income generation, and do not introduce price pressures which further affect the cost of living and doing business. Within the Energy Demand Research Centre (EDRC), the Equity theme has explored the impact of different ways of using of a £9 billion public funding pot, aimed at closing the fuel poverty gap on an annual basis between 2025 and 2030(ii). This figure was arrived at in the following way. The fuel poverty gap is defined by ONS (iii) as the amount of money a household needs to no longer be considered as living in fuel poverty. This amount was estimated by DESNZ (iv) at £417 for 2023, the last year for which an estimate is available. If £417 is allocated to help 3.6 million households for the 6 years between 2025 and 2030, the total pot required is £9 billion. We used an economy-wide model to simulate scenarios where this public funding pot is (a) channelled as a direct energy bill support to 3.6 million UK households in fuel poverty under the English definition or (b) used to fund basic energy efficiency measures for as many homes as possible

Abstract:

The article explores the key vocabulary of 2020 in the network space of Ukraine. Texts of journalistic, official-business style, analytical publications of well-known journalists on current topics are analyzed. Extralinguistic factors of new word formation, their adaptation to the sphere of special and socio-political vocabulary of the Ukrainian language are determined. Examples show modern impressions in the media, their stylistic use and impact on public opinion in a pandemic. New meanings of foreign expressions, media terminology, peculiarities of translation of neologisms from English into Ukrainian have been clarified. According to the materials of the online media, a «dictionary of the coronavirus era» is provided. The journalistic text functions in the media on the basis of logical judgments, credible arguments, impressive language. Its purpose is to show the socio-political problem, to sharpen its significance for society and to propose solutions through convincing considerations. Most researchers emphasize the influential role of journalistic style, which through the media shapes public opinion on issues of politics, economics, education, health care, war, the future of the country. To cover such a wide range of topics, socio-political vocabulary is used first of all – neutral and emotionally-evaluative, rhetorical questions and imperatives, special terminology, foreign words. There is an ongoing discussion in online publications about the use of the new foreign token «lockdown» instead of the word «quarantine», which has long been learned in the Ukrainian language. Research on this topic has shown that at the initial stage of the pandemic, the word «lockdown» prevailed in the colloquial language of politicians, media personalities and part of society did not quite understand its meaning. Lockdown, in its current interpretation, is a restrictive measure to protect people from a dangerous virus that has spread to many countries; isolation of the population («stay in place») in case of risk of spreading Covid-19. In English, US citizens are told what a lockdown is: «A lockdown is a restriction policy for people or communities to stay where they are, usually due to specific risks to themselves or to others if they can move and interact freely. The term «stay-at-home» or «shelter-in-place» is often used for lockdowns that affect an area, rather than specific locations». Content analysis of online texts leads to the conclusion that in 2020 a special vocabulary was actively functioning, with the appropriate definitions, which the media described as a «dictionary of coronavirus vocabulary». Media broadcasting is the deepest and pulsating source of creative texts with new meanings, phrases, expressiveness. The influential power of the word finds its unconditional embodiment in the media. Journalists, bloggers, experts, politicians, analyzing current events, produce concepts of a new reality. The world is changing and the language of the media is responding to these changes. It manifests itself most vividly and emotionally in the network sphere, in various genres and styles.

Langlais, Pierre-Carl. Economics of open science. Comité pour la science ouverte, 2023. https://doi.org/10.52949/63.

Abstract:

Open science has significantly reduced the costs of scholarly publication. A 2021 study estimates the expenses of a commercial open access publisher at 55% of the price of a standard subscription article: this proportion is significantly lower for non-commercial open access publication which can be as low as 10% of the price. Numerous activities associated with publishing like commercial service, pricing or marketing are no longer necessary. The development of shared services and free software have also helped to curtailed technical costs. Open science involves a plurality of economic models that are not limited to commercial publishing: public infrastructures, common resources, self-governing communities or learned societies are all key actors of the open science ecosystem. Journals and other academic institutions (like scientific societies) have historically favored a ”knowledge club” model where publications are managed as a community service for the selected benefits of its authors. During the second half of the 20th century, nonprofits’ structures have been absorbed or outcompeted by very large commercial publishers such as Elsevier, Springer or Wiley. The development of open science challenged the domination of the publisher models. Leading publishers have started to flip to author-pay models. More recently, ”transformative deals” have created a large private market for open science. In parallel the emergence of a global open science movement, has entailed the development of open science commons, with journals, platforms, infrastructures and repositories increasingly structured around a shared ecosystem of services and self-governance principles. Open science brings significant economic and social benefits, as 65-90% of the audience of open platforms is made of non-academic users. Numerous economic activities depend on scholarly literature and scientific data. It has been estimated that the Human Genome project brought nearly 800$ billions in global revenue, that is 200 times its initial costs. Surveys of English and Nordic businesses in 2011 showed that open science as a whole had a positive impact on R&D and accelerated the development of new products and projects. Beyond commercial sectors, open science has positively contributed to a large and diverse range of social actors, from NGOs to citizen scientists or health advocates.

Understanding the international provision of allergen information picture in the non-prepacked sector. Food Standards Agency, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.46756/sci.fsa.jsi798.

Full text

Abstract:

Our rapid evidence assessment aimed to develop an understanding of the international provision of allergen information in the non-prepacked food sector. A mixed-methods approach was used, including a rapid literature and data review, stakeholder interviews, as well as co-production panel review with our advisor (Dr Audrey DunnGalvin) and members of Allergy UK and the FSA. We found legislation on nine of the 18 countries within the scope for this project. These included three EU countries who have also brought in additional national requirements to EU legislation (Lithuania, Republic of Ireland, and Netherlands); two non-EU countries that align to EU legislation and have additional legislation in place (Switzerland, and Norway); three non-European countries (US, Philippines, and Canada) have legislation in place or draft form; and the UK. While legislation was not found in English for the other countries, all 27 EU member states follow the EU legislation as a minimum requirement. The UK follows EU legislation as we were a member state at the time of implementation. The UK has since left the EU; however the legislation has been retained. The UK has additional legislation for food that is prepacked for direct sale (PPDS), but not other types of non-prepacked food. There is considerable variation across countries and regions, in terms of type of allergens and foods covered, the required format of provision of allergen information (e.g., verbal or written) and the food establishments included within the legislation. Across all countries included within the review, the use of precautionary allergen labelling was voluntary. The overall objective of this rapid evidence assessment was to develop recommendations for the FSA to inform future policy and regulation decisions based on evidence of ‘what works’. However, the reviewed literature provided no evidence of whether approaches are associated with improved safety, compliance, unintended consequences, or feasibility. We were also unable to infer effectiveness via data on reported trends in deaths or incidents pre and post implementation of legislation, as these data was not found for any country. Similarly, there was not enough evidence to allow a systematic analysis of incidents associated with different types or categories of food business operators (FBOs) selling non-prepacked foods. We are therefore unable to provide clear recommendations of ‘what works’ from the evidence. We have instead gathered information on the ideas or potential solutions suggested in the literature.
