Abstract

In this commentary, I discuss the value of Chan's (2009) research-informed checklists for evaluating business English materials by providing a practitioner's approach to using the checklists. I adapted the checklists for three different uses. The first was to evaluate the teaching methodology followed in a business English textbook from an ESP series. The second use was as a guide and evaluation tool for my in-house business English material development. The final use was also to support the design and then evaluation of custom-made banking English course materials. In conclusion, I found that adapting these research-informed checklists, based on local needs, creates opportunities for professional development, tailored courses, and transferability to other ESP genres.

C. Chan(2009 年)的实践者评论:"建立研究与教学法之间的联系:评估商务英语教材的整体框架"
在这篇评论中,我讨论了 Chan(2009 年)以研究为基础的核对表在评估商务英语材料方面的价值,提供了实践者使用核对表的方法。我对核对表进行了调整,用于三种不同的用途。第一种用途是评估 ESP 系列商务英语教科书所遵循的教学方法。第二种用途是作为内部商务英语教材编写的指导和评估工具。最后一个用途是支持设计和评估定制的银行英语课程材料。总之,我发现,根据当地需求调整这些以研究为基础的核对表,可以为专业发展、量身定制的课程以及向其他 ESP 体裁的移植创造机会。
