经济科学出版的新编剑桥商务英语教材第三版发行已经有很长时间了,不过大家对BEC的第二版教材和第三版教材的区别还不是很了解。这就为大家做个详细的对比。
原来第二版的两栏Language(语言)和skills(技能)到了第三版变成了三栏Business Topic(商务话题),Business Skills(商务技巧)和Exam Spotlight(考试聚焦)。第二版的skill是侧重讲应试能力的,内容是阅读、写作等等,而第三版的Business Skills则更侧重商务方面的实际运用。第二版的1a和1b到了第三版也整合进一个Module里面了。从内容的整体系统来看,条理也清楚了很多。
从内容构架来看,第二版教材的内容为:
Introduction
Teamwork
Communication
Entertaining a client
Corporate hospitality
Ordering goods
Cash flow
Brand power
Public relations
Relocation
New premises
Reporting results
Environmental report
Health and safety
Rights at work
Business expenses
Business travel
Flexible benefits
Staff appraisal
Marketing disasters
Going global
在经科版第三版教材中,Ordering goods,Health and safety, Business travel 这样的内容已经被挪到了初级教材中,这是和全书的内容体系有关的。第二版教材从全书体系来说,还是一个单元讲一件事情、一个方面。而第三版教材全书的中心比较明确,前面两个Module 讲了工作类型(Ways of working)和公司福利(Company benefits)之后,后面整个的内容都和Module 3 Starting a business有关,你要做生意,就需要打广告(Advertising),要布置你的workplace,招聘员工(Recruitment),做销售(Sales),培训职员(Training),树立品牌(Branding),做好管理(Management),了解经营内容(以Ethical economics为例),还要懂点商业法(Business law)。这就是Business Topic 这个部分带来的新的东西。
这就是说,第三版教材的中级和初级比起来,不只是语言点有了拔高,在内容组织方面,也从公司菜鸟级需要处理的事情,上升到了要独当一面需要面对的事情。第三版教材已经在编写思想上从侧重语言应用转向了侧重职场素质的培养。之前经常有同学问,手里已经有了第二版的教材,能不能直接跟着网校课程学习,从以上对比我们也看到,第三版教材在整个的编写体系上都做出了改动,所以我们建议大家还是买一本第三版的教材。
