    Business English Teaching Advantages and Disadvantages of Computer Network
    Abstract: This paper analyzes the computer networks in business English the advantages and disadvantages of computer network in Teaching Business English pointed out that with the development of information technology, the role of computer networks has long been far beyond its accessibility. In cultivating foreign business English talent, should break the traditional business English teaching mode, create a new student-centered teaching model, emphasizing language training business environment. At the same time, students not only to master business English knowledge and skills to master computer knowledge and skills.
    Keywords: Business English teaching; Computer; Teaching
    With the global economic integration and the rapid development of China's foreign trade and economic, social need more and more not only understands English, but also understands the business of high-quality compound talents. Compound in the training process of foreign talent in business English, business English has played an important role. By Business English teaching, on the one hand, students can master the key terms of international trade and the necessary business knowledge, familiar with the trade business processes, improve their listening, speaking, reading, writing and translating the basic skills; the other hand, students can master the business basic etiquette, economic, trade and other basic theoretical knowledge and to improve intercultural communication competence, and ultimately competent foreign economic and trade activities in English the work of a complex foreign business English talent.
    First, the computer network to improve business English teaching and learning environment.
    Business process work is essentially a communicative process. Business English teaching objective is to develop the international business environment, the ability to communicate using English. Traditional business English teaching environment is basically confined to the classroom and textbooks, giving students a zero-business environment, leading students to go to work is likely to encounter when "environmental shock", it is difficult to apply the knowledge to practical work to go.
    Computer Assisted Language Learning (computer - assisted languagelearning) in China has been seriously and applications, and make many new educational ideas in English teaching can be achieved.
    (A) of the computer networks to create a self-learning environment.
    Henri Holec suggested that schools should set up two teaching goals: to help students acquire language and communication skills; the second is to help students acquire self-learning ability.
    In the process of teaching business English, computer network so that students can take advantage of rich multimedia courseware and networks for self-learning resources, regardless of time and place restrictions. Students according to their needs and interests, choose learning content, control pace, explore learning, and business English to master the relevant economic, trade, finance and other knowledge, constantly on the basis of their experience of the original construction of its new knowledge understanding and develop their cognitive structure.
    In addition to a wealth of business knowledge, computer networks also provide students with a great deal of linguistic data, so that students do not have to rely on teachers and teaching materials.
    A variety of media resources and specialized business English teaching site for students provides a wealth of resources, students can choose to read or by Original Movie, English songs, English radio and other means to improve the business English listening, speaking, reading and writing , translation of basic skills.
    A computer network for the media, students can also e-mail (e-mail), chat rooms (chatroom), or MOO (multiuser domainobject oriented) for one person one person, one-many, or many of the common people when (synchronous), or when the total exchange (asynchronous), to resolve the difficulties encountered in independent study.
    (B) with the use of multiple information channels of information will help to improve the memorizing effect.
    Noam Chomsky (Avram Noam Chomsky) pointed out: "We probably should try to have a normal human instinct itself determine the intuitive ability to create a language-rich environment." Human nature to receive information is through the people to carry out the various senses including vision, hearing, touch, smell and taste, which plays the most important visual and auditory effect.
    Multimedia technology in business English teaching, can provide a wealth of images, video, image and text so that students in the learning process audio-visual integration of image and sound synchronization input, effectively stimulate the cerebral cortex, increased memory capacity to more than the traditional, single language-based teaching methods to achieve better teaching results.
    (C) a large number of real business English language input materials to make enough "repeat rate."
    Van Patten absorbed in talking about language that: "knowledge of the language can be absorbed in the language input must have sufficient 'repeat rate' (frequen2cy) and 'prominence' (salience)". Computer, network and business English teaching combine all aspects of the business scene in front of students to show true. Students not only through the computer network to find on the reception, negotiation, meetings, consultation, offer, shipment, insurance and other business activities, written materials, you can also find the relevant hearing, video, audio and video data.
    Subject to certain terms of business activities, such as inquiry, students can find information on a variety of dialogue and speech, reading, writing and cultural background information. Information in a variety of business terms, business knowledge, repeated, so that students improved imperceptibly ability to use language to expand their knowledge level. In addition, through computer networks, teachers can guide students through an online real-time training for international trade business, trade or through the process of teaching software training. This is not the real business English textbook knowledge of the limitations of materials, to stimulate interest and enthusiasm of students, the student's theoretical knowledge and real business environment to link up effectively to help students overcome the "environmental shock" phenomenon.
    Second, business English teaching in the computer network application errors.
    And compared to the traditional teaching business English, computer network application to business English teaching toward individualized learning, independent learning direction.
    However, in many colleges and universities teaching business English class, the essence of teaching has not changed, or a traditional teacher-centered teaching model.
    Tape recorder with the traditional form of teaching blackboard chalk compared to just more than a CD-ROM, computer and network, business English teaching is still the teacher talks, the students listen to the situation. To Business English teaching lesson was, for example, on the one hand, over-reliance on teachers, courseware. Teachers tend to completely copy the contents of textbooks to multimedia courseware, and then explain the use of courseware. Even if the students after school online learning, online edition of the textbook content is basically a repetition of the content of little value. In this case, the potential to stimulate learning, promote student self-learning, highlighting the student's individual learning, it is very difficult. On the other hand, the computer and the network itself the objective of its limitations, of course, vivid multimedia teaching, but in the teaching process, teachers often provide students with an excessive amount of information, while ignoring the individual differences of students. Students in a short time a large number of teaching information, to a certain extent, restrained the imagination of students, detrimental to their problem-solving, analysis of capacity development issues.
    Thus, many colleges and universities in the Business English class, generally considered the computer as an auxiliary tool for teaching purpose is to help teachers improve teaching methods, and its features are: first, the secondary teacher presentation tool (Auxiliary Professor of difficulty or focus ); Second, textbook-based teaching content; Third, students are taught the knowledge of the object; fourth, does not change the structure of teaching content and teaching; Fifth, teacher-centered teaching structure. Teaching computer use is thought to enhance the teachers to teach the information, because the information is magnified on the screen. Therefore, the computer as a technology enhanced teaching effectiveness can only play a supporting role, but can not really become a tool to solve practical problems (Morrison and Lowther, 2005).
    The present era, with the development of information technology, the role of computer networks has long been far beyond its accessibility. Especially in the commercial area, and the computer has become a whole, can not be separated. Business activities, many of the specific business must be done through the computer and its network. For example, in electronic commerce (e - business), the inquiry, offer, negotiation, contract and so need to e-mail (e - mail), online chat, etc. to complete.
    If you just take the computer network as a supplementary tool, is not enough.
    Because the computer aided greatly weakened the function and role of the network itself, not a fundamental foreign business to help in cultivating talent in English, so the need to break the traditional business English teaching mode, create a new student-centered teaching model so knowledge sources can be extended to educational websites, databases, e-books, audio and video products, learning courseware, newspapers, magazines, television, radio, books, virtual library, learning software, network communication platform, and other materials is no longer a classroom teacher "knowledge instilled by" students to become active builders of knowledge. At the same time, students learn business English but also in knowledge, skills, master the computer knowledge and skills.
