Full textIn the Information Age (BRANDT, 2005), English is considered to be the lingua franca for corporate communication. Its use has become more frequent in companies due to the growth of international communication and the expansion of access to the Internet and its tools (LOUHIALA-SALMINEN & KANKAANRANTA, 2009). In Brazil, most studies in the field, developed through the widely recognized ESP (English for Specific Purposes) perspective, have been restricted to investigating the design of English language courses and material. Few contributions have been dedicated to the study of English writing, which plays a central role in corporate communication and allows the understanding of how individuals and institutions are organized (BAZERMAN, 2005). Thus, aiming at contributing to a better view of the reality of corporate writing in English in Brazil, the present research has developed a case study on e-mail use in a small Brazilian Information Technology company. As a theoretical framework, this research has adopted the Cultural-Historical Activity Theory approach (VYGOTSKY, 1996; LEONTIEV, 1981; ENGESTROM, 1987) as well as the New Rhetorics concept of genre as a social action (BAZERMAN, 2005). For data collection, the technology consultancy company granted access to the written communication exchanged in English by e-mail in two different projects. In order to proceed with the analysis of the collected data, the concepts of activity and contradiction (ENGESTROM, 1987) as well as writing genre (BAZERMAN, 2005) were used. To further investigate intercultural pragmatics issues raised during analysis, this study relied on the concept of speech act (SEARLE, 1989) and politeness theory (BROWN & LEVINSON, 1978; BLUM-KULKA & OLSHTAIN, 1984). Questions raised during the written communication analysis were answered through interviews with participants in the projects. Our findings revealed that (1) the written communication activity is part of the technology consultancy activity, playing the role of a tool which is used by the participants towards the realization of the object; (2) that the lack of intercultural pragmatics knowledge by the e-mail writers became a barrier in a context of multicultural communication and also that (3) e-mails can be considered vehicles through which several different writing genres can be delivered, contradicting the idea that e-mail is a writing genre itself. This study suggests the need of further investigation on the teaching of cultural pragmatics in business English courses in order to enable participants in the corporate world to face the increasingly frequent intercultural communication. In addition, this research attempts to reflect on what e-mail is and also on how language is used in it in a business scenario

Full textEffective communication is important, particularly for the over 26 million immigrant workers with non-English speaking backgrounds who have entered the U.S. workforce. The research problem addressed the disillusion of non-English speakers in the workplace because of the communication gap. The purpose of this study was to explore and describe the experiences of non-English speaking immigrant workers in overcoming language and cultural communication challenges at work. The research question focused on how non-English speakers or English as a Second Language (ESL) speakers describe their communication experiences in the workplace. The theoretical framework was based on the cultural approach to organizations and the transactional model of communication. A qualitative narrative inquiry design was used that employed sources of information including an interview questionnaire and existing literature. The target population was immigrant employees who are managers, assistant managers, and supervisors in New York City and Long Island who work in accounting, banking, finance, information technology, and marketing with at least 5 years’ experience. A purposive sampling procedure was used to select 20 participants for semistructured interviews. The qualitative data were subjectively analyzed by using member checking and triangulation. Key findings indicated 6 themes: miscommunication, lack of appropriate terms, delays in work completion, loss of respect, inability to express oneself clearly, and the need to use alternative means of communication. Opportunity for contributions to social change can include increased understanding and utilization of effective management and communication strategies for dealing with non-English-speaking and ESL workers. This can also help to bridge cultural and language gaps.

Full textThis thesis in applied linguistics and language teaching focuses on designing abusiness English course for the purpose of the development of pragmatic competenceof business English learners in order to improve their business communication in theEnglish language. Establishing and maintaining successful business communicationinvolving business people who use English as a common communication languagedepends on their ability to use the language in an appropriate way in an appropriatebusiness context.The research for this thesis consisted of two parts. The first part of the researchinvolved teachers of business English, students who attended business Englishcourses and employed learners who attended business English courses in privatelanguage schools. The purpose of this part of the research was to collect the data onbusiness English language teaching, the way the courses are organized and whatshould be included in the courses so that the learners are able to participate inbusiness communication in the English language.This was followed by the main part of the research, which involved twentyprofessionals attending a business English course. They were divided into two groups,control and experimental, with ten learners in each group. Both groups attended abusiness English course, however, the control group had a course based only on theselected course book, and the experimental group had a course designed on the basisof needs analysis and in accordance with the business situations in which they useEnglish language daily. Prior to the course learners in both groups completed ageneral data questionnaire, a needs analysis questionnaire, general and businessEnglish language entrance tests. The data gathered by the needs analysis questionnairewere additionally clarified by the answers in the first interview. The learners' progressin using English in business communication in both groups, especially regarding theuse of speech acts, was monitored by five tests, one after each of the topics coveredduring the course.The data collected in the research, both quantitative (collected by tests andquestionnaires) and qualitative (collected by questionnaires and interviews), werethoroughly analyzed. The analysis led to a conclusion that learners from theexperimental group showed substantially better improvement in tests and their overallability to communicate in business related contexts.The significance of this research is manifold and suggests that greater attentionshould be paid to designing business English courses for professionals and to athorough needs and business context analysis. Such courses would enable learners todevelop their pragmatic competence more successfully and, consequently, improvetheir business communication.

Communicating effectively with others has been a great skill that people want to master in order to perform well and survive in the business world. Nonliteral language use is a communicative method to reach easy and fast mutual understanding. Also, studies on gender differences in nonliteral language use are receiving contributions from different disciplines and slowly gaining more and more scholars’ attention. However, to date, studies on gender differences in nonliteral language use for achieving discourse goals in business transactions have not received much attention yet. The purpose of this study, therefore, is to investigate the preferred use among types of nonliteral language by professional males and females during the process of achieving discourse goals and maintaining successful communication in the business world. Results of this empirical study showed that males used more hyperbole, irony, metaphors, and understatement of nonliteral expressions to convey emotions and to achieve particular goals, and females used more indirect requests and rhetorical question to show polite, supportive, cooperative, affective orientation, and expressiveness to keep relationship and connection with people. The results of the present study showed that the styles of nonliteral language used by professionals in business were consistent with findings in previous research from other disciplines – such as psychology, linguistics, feminism, and pragmatics, even though the findings in the present study on hyperbole of nonliteral language showed an inverse pattern compared with the findings in the previous research. The results also suggested that professional males and females could adopt the types of nonliteral language to achieve discourse goals, which could be regarded as strategies used during successful communication in negotiation with counterparts for solving warranty claims of product lines or for undertaking price adjustments in the business world.

Full textThe aim of this research is to evaluate the communication proficiency of students studying Cost and Management Accounting (CMA) and to assess whether the subject communication, as a course, is having any positive influence on students who are lacking critical thinking and literacy skills. It is necessary to analyse the factors affecting communication because of the diversity of the Durban University of Technology (DUT) students coming from different cultural, ethnic and geographic backgrounds before evaluating the communication proficiency of students. The field of accounting is broadly quantitative in nature, but Management Accounting, although a branch of this broad knowledge is more qualitative in nature. Data analysis, report writing and decision making are fundamental to Management Accounting. The target population for the study was CMA students. This population entails students enrolled for the first time in 2007 and current second and third year students. It was necessary to follow the progress of the 2007 cohort of students to establish whether students were achieving their qualification within the specified three year period as required by the CMA course and whether communication skills were an issue if they were unsuccessful. The objective to include second and third year students registered in the Department of Management Accounting at DUT in 2012 was to acquire current and pertinent information with regard to student perception on the subject relating to communication skills. An analytical type of research approach was used to conduct the study and quantitative data was collected using questionnaires and computer reports to gain an insight into the impact of communication skills as a subject in the CMA programme. The study confirmed that gender and the location of schools played a role in the academic performance of students. The overall performance between the genders revealed that female students performing slightly better than their male counterparts. English First Language (EFL) female students demonstrated much better academic performance than the EFL male students. Irrespective of language differences, if a student had an aptitude and performed well in the English Language at grade 12 or matric, the student has a better chance of being more successful with the CMA programme The number of EFL and English Second Language (ESL) students acknowledging that the English language affected them in obtaining better grades in CMA was fifty one per cent. Since the second and third year CMA students perceive that their lecturers were unaware of their poor understanding of the English language after completing the subject Communication Skills in the first year of study indicates that the subject is not having the desired affect. Both EFL and ESL students also acknowledged the vital role that Communication Skills play in education, social and economic development. This study, inter alia, recommends a screening of new students for English proficiency and providing academic support for students who have problem with literacy skills. It also recommends increasing the subject content of Communication Skills and extending the duration from one semester to two semesters.
