TEACHING BUSINESS ENGLISH FOR COMMUNICATION IN ROMANIA

Abstract

The paper mentions the history of teaching Business English in Romanian universities in the past 20 years and focuses on Business English for communication nowadays. It discusses the evolution of the subject and, as today teaching Business English tends to cultivate business expertise rather than teach language skills, a more systematic Business English curriculum is aimed at. Since learners need to improve their ability to communicate in particular business and general communication situations( for example : when socialising, telephoning, presenting, taking part in meetings and negotiating.), by teaching business English for communication students will be provided the opportunity to acquire the necessary skills.
