Proposing and Illustrating a Research-Informed Approach to Curriculum Development for Business English

This article proposes and illustrates a research-informed approach to curriculum development for Business English, focusing on three specific topics: business communication, negotiation skills, and intercultural competence. Drawing on insights from language acquisition, pedagogy, and business communication studies, this approach emphasizes the importance of needs analysis, learner-centered instruction, and task-based learning. By integrating these principles into curriculum development, educators can create Business English programs that are relevant, effective, and responsive to the dynamic needs of the business world.
