With the rapid growth of the global economy and trade, and the accelerating pace of world economic integration, the focus of college English teaching in China has shifted from purely academic English teaching to English for Specific Purpose (ESP) teaching. As one of the main branches of ESP (Hutchinson & Waters, 1987), the teaching of English for Business Purpose (EBP) has received unprecedented attention. As of 2009, the Ministry of Education has approved the establishment of a business English undergraduate program in 7 universities including the University of International Business and Economics. There are nearly 700 schools in the country.
