Abstract

As part of the special issue “Business English: Research into Professional Practice”, this article aims to contribute to a major discussion in the field of business English concerning ways of strengthening the research–pedagogy interface. The article is a commentary on my previously published paper, “Forging a link between research and pedagogy: A holistic framework for evaluating business English materials” (2009). In this commentary, I discuss various aspects of the paper, including the significance of its proposed approach to connecting research with pedagogy, the influence of the paper on business English and other fields, and the application of its ideas by practitioners to business English materials evaluation and beyond. I also reflect on the paper's influence on my subsequent work as both a researcher and a practitioner. I conclude by suggesting future directions that should help to bring research closer to pedagogical practice.

加强商务英语及其他领域的研究与教学之间的联系

作为 "商务英语：作为 "商务英语：将研究融入专业实践 "特刊的一部分，本文旨在为商务英语领域关于如何加强研究与教学法之间联系的重要讨论做出贡献。这篇文章是对我之前发表的论文 "建立研究与教学法之间的联系 "的评论：评估商务英语教材的整体框架"（2009 年）的评论。在这篇评论中，我讨论了论文的各个方面，包括论文提出的将研究与教学法联系起来的方法的意义，论文对商务英语和其他领域的影响，以及实践者在商务英语教材评估及其他方面对论文观点的应用。我还反思了该论文对我作为研究者和实践者的后续工作的影响。最后，我提出了有助于使研究更贴近教学实践的未来方向。
