The results show that all the students are highly willing to learn English for business purposes, as they believe learning English for business purposes can contribute to future career development, enhance the pertinence of English learning and expand the depth of professional learning. What’ more, the teaching policy for conducting the English teaching for business purpose is well-prepared, but requirements like teaching materials, the arrangement of the course structure, teacher competence, and evaluation system are need for further improvement.
