Hello group! I am doing a MA dissertation on ESP listening skills in the context of business English language teaching in Japan.
This is an under-researched field, so I am hoping to get as many survey responses from business English teachers as I can.
The survey asks about how business English teachers teach listening; for example, what skills they focus on, and the methods they use. The idea is to get as broad of an idea as possible regarding what goes on in classrooms, with an eye towards finding ways instruction could be enhanced.
I’d really appreciate it if anyone teaching business English (in non-university contexts, sorry) could fill in the survey. And if you are particularly interested in the topic, add your email address at the end for a follow up discussion and interview.
Thanks very much to everyone who can participate – it is very much appreciated. Link to the survey is below:

Thanks again to anyone who can participate.

Completed. Good luck to you.
CD player for textbooks. Best of luck wasting your money on an MA. In the 17 years that I’ve taught English in Japan it’s either the CD player if nobody is in the adjacent booth or we read it together or I read it myself if someone is going to be bothered by the CD player! Hope that helps you as a MA graduate in teaching English?!
