The book aims to develop competence in advanced Chinese particularly on business content. In contrast to the normal practice that language is taught in isolation from substantive content, Business Chinese presents the language in both content and context-the language and content is firmly context embedded. When using the book, learners need to integrate their language skills and content knowledge to accomplish the learning tasks. To keep abreast of the real business world, all the texts and exercises are authentic materials coming from Mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Tailored to the learners' communication need, the book integrates the oral language (listening and speaking) with the written language (reading and writing). Business Chinese is a practical guide for those who aspire to Chinese language and China business.
