2、平考试 BULATS:Business Language Testing Service (2000年引进) WTO 和 EnglishWTO: World Trade Organization世界贸易组织-其职责是管理世界经济和贸易秩序，目标是建立一个完整的、与货物、服务、贸易有关的投资及知识产权等更具活力和更持久的多边体系。加入世贸就是接受和采纳国际规范行为，置身于国际管理秩序和体系。English 是国际通用语言。语言也是行为，也有国际性和规范性问题。可见，运用国际通用语言，遵循国际游戏规则，开展国际活动，都是在同一轨道上，不可分离。我国入世之后，社会需求变了，人才标准变了，教学观念、培

3、养目标、教学内容和方法等也要相应改变。英语教学要侧重语言的功能和交际的技能，而不是局限在语言的符号系统和语言知识。英语教学要培养用英语做事的本领，而不是考试做题的本事。学英语要改text为task，改“懂know”为“会can”；改“学study”为“干do”。语言的工具性、人文性、教育性决定了语言与认知、思维、社会、交际和素质等有千丝万缕的联系。语言学习是刺激反应的过程；是培养技能的过程；是体验交际的过程；是情感经历的过程；是文化学习的过程；包括彼此的文化和多元文化，总之是人生经历的过程。 “语言学习企业”“企业” ：人们为获得利益通过努力挣得知识、技能、利润、业绩和经历的场所。-剑桥国际英

5、际人才的必要条件之一是英语。21世纪是跨文化交际时代，跨文化交际需要跨国用语。有人说，WTO是“狼”，那么，“与狼共舞”也要懂得“狼”的语言，要知道“狼”想干什么，要骂人也要让对方听得懂。Englishlanguagevarietiestoolbehaviorskilllearning purposesMeans/mediumculture & culturesserviceBusinesstrademanufactureoffice routinesBusiness Englishfeaturestext-typesvocabularysituationsnotionsfunctionsOb
