Abstract

Since China joined the World Trade Organization, its massive economic development has become more integrated with the global economy, especially by playing an active role in world trade activities. While during trading with foreign businessmen one of the most important obstacles is business communication. Along with the business globalization and The Belt and Road Initiative, Business English has become the bridge for paving the way to the business communication between international enterprises. Therefore, the versatile Business English majors are the demanding talents in the global market. With the globalization of science and technology, more and more universities have made educating and nurturing the compound and integrated talents as their teaching objectives. While due to the interdisciplinary nature of Business English, the teaching content covered by Business English involves many other fields of knowledge, which to some extent increases the difficulties of learning Business English. In order to better understand the complexity of the interdisciplinary features of Business English, this paper will analyze the interdisciplinary nature of Business English from the perspective of International Trade Practice Course, and analyze the various academic disciplines covered by International Trade Practice Course such as linguistics, economics, International Commercial Law, Business Correspondence, statistics and so on through case studies, then highlight and summarize the interdisciplinary nature of Business English, and put forward corresponding suggestions for the teaching and learning of Business English in the light of teachers and learners.
