Abstract
Business English, a practical applied subject, aims to train students to master English language skills as well as solid business professional knowledge. As one of the branches of ESP English for special purposes, there are indeed many problems to be solved in the current business English teaching, concerning single teaching mode, little interaction between teaching and learning, ignorance of students’ needs and lack of practical teaching materials. The original purpose of this paper is to explore the great significance of anchored teaching method to ESP teaching based on the theory of constructivism. It has incomparable advantages over other traditional teaching, emphasizing the creation of teaching situation, collaborative learning as well as the evaluation of learning effect. A topic about “franchise” in Cambridge Business English course will be taken as an example to display a comprehensive process of the use of anchored teaching method, which can help us pass on this method to other relative courses.
