There has been an increasing demand in the business circles of this country for solid teaching/learning materials designed for the beginner to acquire the basic structures, vocabulary, and usage of English business letter writing. An attempt has been made by Prof. Teruhiko Suzuki of Doshisha University and the present writer to develop an introductory course for Business English, with an extended use of some of the theories and latest findings of the Audio- Lingual Approach and the Multi-Sensory Method in the area of foreign language acquisition. This taped material consists of two major parts: (1) International Business Letters, and (2) Programmed Drills of Basic Forms of Business Englih. The letters, which are divided into three sections, present various international business situations covering from 'Making Accommodations for an Overseas Visitor' to 'Request for Opening of a Letter of Credit'. The letters are recorded on tape with space where breath grouping takes place in the reading of a sentence. Three types of drills follow each letter. The drills are designed to provide the learner with an opportunity for complete mastery of the basic structures and their application in creative business communication situations. All basic structures, taken from the body of the letters, are those frequently seen in business writing. The first type of drill is simple repetition of the basic sentence. The second type is grammatical substitution. By substituting the cue words and phrases provided, the learner is expected to be able to use the basic sentence in new situations as well as deepen hi understanding of its structure. An example of this drill is shown below. The revised List may affect your future marketing program. a. new regulation b. trade agreement c. political change d. joint venture plan e. import restriction law The third type of drill is contextual substitution, in which the learner is expected to increase his power of expression by rephrasing the basic sentence with similar expressions in given context. We believe this will serve as a step to enable the learner to carry on better commujiication in the target language. The following is an example of this drill. If you need any additional information concerning these changes,. please let us know. a. please write us. b. please inform us. c. please drop us a line. d. we would be delighted to hear from you. All the drills are taped with proper models and pauses necessary for four-phase audio-lingual practice. The Japanese notes in the text will help those learners where no instructor is available to teach them.
