Abstract

As one of the basic core courses for Business English majors, Integrated Business English enjoys several characteristics such as a large number of class hours, intensive class arrangements and heavy construction tasks, which are all big challenges for both lecturers and students. For courses with such demanding characteristics, it is particularly necessary to establish a teaching assistant program. This paper takes the teaching assistant program for the course, Integrated Business English taught in the author’s university, as the research object, adopts the method of action research and combines the observation method, questionnaire method, and interview method to study the design and implementation of the teaching assistant program. With the aim to provide suggestions and references for the establishment of teaching assistant programs for other courses, this paper also discusses the effects of the program and reflects on the further improvement measures.
