BUSINESS ENGLISH ARTICLE SUMMARIES AS ASSESSMENT TOOLS

Summary/Abstract: The present article tries to present the pros as well as the cons of the use of business English article summaries as assessment tools. The great plus of such a tool is the fact that it offers the opportunity of involving both written and spoken English skills. It is also a way of boosting students’ confidence, but it may be challenging too (in terms of spoken English production, grammar or summarizing business information). What is the most encouraging part about our resorting to such a tool during business English seminars is our positive students’ feedback who see it as a quite effective method of improving their English skills and a way of updating their economic knowledge ‘in real time’ as articles are generally ‘fresh’ information providers.
