主编张启途主持的国家在线开放课程外贸基础-函电与单证,急需配套教材满足日益增长的学习者使用。目前已在智慧树平台运行5学期,有73所本专科院校,1.88万人选修,学习人数逐学期稳定增长。
原教材《外贸交际英语》(2013年本社出版),因涉及大量电子商务知识,内容已陈旧,需要及时更新补充新内容。根据高职专业实际课程设置需要,根据市场需要,根据教学应用要求和实际教材内容需要,教材需重新整合,进行重构修改。教材的名称更改为《商务英语函电》更合理,也更符合教材选取需要。
本教材是随“商务英语函电”课程改革发展中的应用教材。“商务英语函电”是2008年山东省级精品课程,2016年山东省精品资源共享课程。课程出版后,将是国家在线开放课程《外贸基础-函电与单证》的应用教材。
