As the number of Chinese learners increases, related learning and teaching materials have become more diverse. As a result, there are specialized teaching materials for travel Chinese, legal Chinese, and business Chinese, among others. However, compared to general Chinese teaching resources, materials designed and written for specific topics remain short in quantity and quality. In Taiwan, there are only three readily available resources for business Chinese: Far East Business Chinese I-III, Advanced Business Chinese 1 & 2, and Situational Chinese: Business and Business Travel. Thus, this thesis first undertakes a literature review regarding writing theory and principles for business Chinese teaching materials, and serves to examine the various Chinese business cultures. The thesis then analyzes the three business Chinese teaching materials mentioned above, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses. Next, it designs business Chinese teaching materials with two full lessons that cover the topics of trade shows and authorization, respectively. Note that these two lessons are written based on real experiences from IP authorization and the author’s work experience in the trade show industry. More specifically, by integrating real experiences into business Chinese teaching materials, the lessons create a scenario similar to the actual business world. This, together with interesting and diversified practice lessons and exercises, will enhance student learning. Students will be able to use what they learn in real business environments. To sum up, this thesis aims to present business Chinese teaching materials that are not only useful, but that also improve students’ communication skills.
