中国“入世”后,外贸英语人才的需求很大。目前高校在培养外语人才方面已显滞后:教学内容陈旧,培养目标片面,教学手段单一。为适应新形势,要更新教材内容;采用新的教学方法,注重情景模拟,突出外语交际能力的培养;采用多媒体及其他新技术,丰富教学手段。

China's Entry into the WTO and the Cultivation of Personnel Good at English for International Business

After China' s entry into the WTO, there is an urgent demand for personnel who are good at English for in-ternational business or foreign trade. At present, China's institutions of higher learning lag behind the objective situa-tion in the cultivation of qualified personnel and also in teaching approaches. To meet the need of the new situation,new teaching materials should be compiled, new teaching methods be adopted, more and newer technical aids such asCAI be put to use in classrooms, and the focus of attention should be centred on the training of communicative abilitieson the part of the students.
