POPESCU, TEODORA
Dicţionar terminologic de afaceri englez - român
= English-Romanian dictionary of business terminology /
Teodora Popescu. Cluj-Napoca : Mega : Argonaut, 2017

 

.

The current dictionary is the result of twenty years of teaching and researching English for Specific Purposes, translating and interpreting in the field of business, banking and finance.

The dictionary comprises thirteen business-related topic-based units that are most relevant to students of economics, learners and teachers of English, as well as to business professionals. Based on experience and research in the field, the author covered the following areas: accounting, banking and finance,
business administration, business communication, economics, employment, environment protection, information technology, insurance, international trade, management, marketing and advertising, tourism and business travel.

It consists of approximately 5,500 dictionary entries and 2,500 contexts of use for single words and typical collocations. Overlappings were avoided, except in cases when the words or collocations are used differently according to the area of interest (e.g. marketing vs accounting). The present edition does not include contexts for all the dictionary entries, but subsequent ones will concentrate on a wider coverage.

 

POPESCU, TEODORA
The Business English Language Curriculum /
Teodora Popescu. Cluj-Napoca : Mega : Argonaut, 2017

 

The present study came to life as a result of the scientific inquiry and classroom practice the author carried out over a period of almost twenty years of teaching business English at tertiary level, before, during and after completing a PhD thesis in Business English language curricula. She has constantly, throughout these years, tried to combine theoretical investigations with practical applications, and whenever possible, she kept a record of the analysis of quantitative and qualitative data obtained as a result of her classroom research, and analysed it in order to improve my teaching performance and my students’ learning experiences, or, as the case may be, to present the results on different occasions, such as conferences or round tables dedicated to the subject.
It is structured into four main chapters, which lead us along the path of business language curriculum, from the general, wider perspective upon curriculum to more hands-on, practice- and research-based approaches to business English.
