Abstract

This research examines the role of idiomatic expressions (IEs) in international business (IB) communication and non-native speakers’ (NNEs’) English proficiency. It investigates how IE affect IB communication’s effectiveness and whether IEs should be taught to NNE. We collected feedback from academics who confirmed the importance of IE and relevant business idioms from professional websites. We also assessed IE usage benefits for different cohorts working in IB settings. The results indicate that IE can enhance communication efficiency, cross-cultural social skills, monetary rewards, and satisfaction in IB. The findings support the need for teaching IE to NNE and justify inclusion in curricula.

将成语作为提高专业能力和跨文化交流的工具

本研究探讨了习语表达（IEs）在国际商务（IB）交流中的作用以及非母语人士（NNEs）的英语水平。研究还探讨了惯用语如何影响国际商务交流的效果，以及是否应向非英语国家学生教授惯用语。我们收集了学术界的反馈意见，他们确认了 IE 的重要性，并从专业网站上收集了相关的商业习惯用语。我们还评估了在国际商务环境中工作的不同群体使用 IE 的益处。结果表明，国际商务英语可以提高沟通效率、跨文化社交技能、金钱回报和国际商务工作的满意度。这些研究结果支持了对非国民教育进行国际教育的必要性，并证明了将国际教育纳入课程的合理性。

期刊介绍： Business and Professional Communication Quarterly is the only refereed journal devoted to research that advances the teaching of communication in the workplace. The journal aims to present the many interdisciplinary, international, and organizational perspectives that characterize the field and specifically to publish research that advances knowledge about business and professional communication pedagogy and praxis in both academic and workplace settings, including technical and scientific communication, rhetoric, program design and assessment, the impact of technology, sustainability, global and multicultural issues, nonprofit communication, and best practices. As an interdisciplinary journal, BPCQ welcomes manuscripts that address a variety of theoretical, applied, and practical approaches and topics in the teaching and praxis of business, corporate, organizational, professional, or technical communication, including qualitative and quantitative research on classroom teaching or assessment, case studies of specific classroom techniques, reports on strategies for program development, innovative assignments or methodologies, and reviews of scholarship relevant to business and professional communication pedagogy. BPCQ especially welcomes manuscripts that address the principles of SoTL (scholarship of teaching and learning). BPCQ also publishes articles on a particular theme, for which a call may be announced on the ABC website: http://www.businesscommunication.org.
