المستخلص: |
English has become the most utilized language in intercultural communication, worldwide, as it is considered as the lingua-franca of the 21st century. Teaching English as a second or foreign language, alike, has been always a challenging task due to many considerations. However, the choice of the suitable teaching techniques and appropriate materials that meet learners’ needs and expectations is regarded as one of the fundamental challenges. Raising learners’ intercultural awareness is one of the vital objectives of ESP teaching in general and business English teaching in particular. In other words, business English teaching endeavours chiefly to promote learners’ abilities to communicate properly in some situations because they need to build not only their learners’ linguistic awareness but also their pragmatic competencies. To fulfil this, Discourse Analysis (DA) would be a good alternative that meets this objective. DA has brought scholars and critics altogether to come up with new linguistic approaches and methodologies. The present study aims at assessing teachers’ views and attitudes towards the usefulness of the discourse-based approach in enhancing business English learners’ intercultural communicative skills. In doing so, a study has been conducted on a sample of twenty four (24) business English teachers, from different affiliations, to check their different viewpoints. The findings of this study prove that the discourse-based approach, if it is applied properly, could contribute to enhancing not only Business English learners’ linguistic abilities, but also their intercultural awareness. |
