On the Application of Code-switching Strategy in Business English Teaching Under the Construction of “New Liberal Arts”
Abstract
In English teaching classrooms, code switching is becoming a common phenomenon and as a teaching strategy it has been widely used by teachers in China. Under the background of construction of “New Liberal Arts”, this paper sets out to investigate teachers’ code-switching strategy in ESP (English for Special Purposes) teaching, especially in business English teaching classrooms. It is found that conscious and necessary code-switching in ESP teaching classrooms can make teaching more efficient, and its functions and positive effects on bilingual teaching should not be underestimated. It is hoped that this study can provide some suggestion to ESP teaching and help enhance an effective teaching mode by using code-switching strategy and suggest that teachers should be aware of this teaching tactic and use it technically in their teaching process.
