Abstract
This paper is a case study of the development of the curriculum for the Business English majors at a Chinese university. By demonstrating the application and extension of principles of English for Specific Purposes and research in applied linguistics in the curriculum development, the paper shows that an ESP-informed curriculum is able to integrate disciplinary knowledge, professional practice, and language. The implications of the case for curriculum development for Business English students in China are discussed.
