随着中国加入WTO，经济与国际接轨，对外贸易日益频繁，商务英语的重要性日益突出。商务英语作为一门特殊英语，有着自己与普通英语不同的特征。它涉及的范围十分广泛，包括商务，贸易，金融和国际关系等等。在表达上，商务英语更加注重直接性，准确性，简洁性和礼貌性。而句型表达方面多用一般现在时和被动语态。所以，对于学者来说，他们需要掌握更多与商务相关的知识。同时，在口语表达上，商务英语具有更强的准确性，简洁性和礼貌性。但是在商务英语教学上，却很少有一套能与普通英语区分开来的更体现其特性的教学体系。本文主要结合商务英语的特点，在基于现有的商务英语教学方法的基础上，把课堂上的教学内容与课外现实的商务活动相结合，使学者能够零距离地置身于商务活动，学有所用，更好的提高商务英语教学质量。
