外贸函电总结 第1篇
根据相关的国际贸易法律与惯例，结合所学知识与国际贸易实践，用英语与外商交流、谈判及写传真、书信。掌握外贸术语，对出口贸易中业务函电的草拟、商品价格的核算、交易条件的磋商、买卖合同的签订、出口货物的托运订舱、报验通关、信用证的审核与修改以及贸易文件制作和审核等主要业务操作技能。
（1）坚持理论联系实际 将《商务英语谈判》〈国际贸易单证〉《英语口语》等课xxx中所学到的基础理论和基本政策加以具体运用。力求做到理论与实践、政策与业务有效地结合起来，不断提高分析与解决实际问题的能力。认真观察业务流xxx，积极和同事交流 虚心请教学习，学习与客户沟通，开发市场。
（2）加强英语的学习 对于外贸专业人员而言，不仅要掌握一定的专业知识，而且还必须会用英语与外商沟通、谈判及函电等。如果专业英语知识掌握不好，就无法开展工作，甚至会影响业务的顺利进行。因此，在实习中大胆与客户交流，边巩固所学知识，边学习工作中遇到的外贸英语知识，掌握外贸专业术语基础。
（3）注意本课xxx同其他相关课xxx的联系 外贸英语是一门综合性的学科，与其他课xxx内容紧密相联。应该将各们知识综合运用。比如法律，比如商品学 比如营销学，在实习期间发现这些对开展工作的用处很大，这就要求我们广泛博览其他相关学科的书籍，多和同事、上级沟通 关注外贸当面的新发展，不断提高业务能力。
（4）坚持学以致用 外贸英语是一门实践性很强的应用学科。实习中深有体会，许多书本中学的东西想要发发挥其作用 需要广泛积极的应用于外贸交流中，处理工作事务中学习到很多书本没有讲的知识 ，可见 学以致用在这门学科里的重要性。基本的业务 流xxx 就得从找客户开始。寻找客户是一门颇深的学问，要下一番苦功夫才行，运气好的另当别论。当然要回答客户的问题，给客户报价等应该要具备一些基本的. 国际贸易 知识。我上个学期学的 国际贸易 实务让我对 国际贸易 方面的 术语 并不陌生。目前为止，虽然自我感觉有些客户稍有眉目，但是稍一不慎就前功尽弃。只有找到了客户，下了订单，签订了合同，才有后面一系列制单结汇等 流xxx 。由于本人才疏学浅，目前尚属初级阶段――找客户阶段。

外贸函电总结 第4篇
我通过一段时间的摸索摸索，总结出摆正心态的重要性 ，冷静分析，从自身查找原因，采取有效措施。树立一个辩证的挫折观，保持自信和乐观的态度，正是失败本身才最终造就了成功。学会自我宽慰，能容忍挫折，要心怀坦荡，情绪乐观，善于化压力为动力，改变内心的压抑状态，以求身心的轻松，重新争取成功。 接待客户，收发处理邮件 制发文件等工作要做到积极主动，认真 负责。 还有与领导谈话要注意言语场合 ，正确理解领导意图。
通过实习，加深了我对外贸英语知识的理解，提高了我的实践能力，掌握了更为实际的外贸知识，锻炼了办事能力，了解了社会。 通过实习，发现了自己的不足，我会在以后的工作学习中更加努力，取长补短，需心求教。相信自己会在以后的工作中更加用心，表现更加出色！不管从事什么工作都会努力！ 对于企业的不足，暂时还没什么想法，可能是自己观察不够。以后我会在这方面有所留心，争取多发现问题，解决问题，有好的想法会及时和大家交流。

[提要] 在进出口业务中，外贸英语函电几乎贯穿于全过xxx。而现今实际操作中外贸英语函电的写作与某些课本上有一定的出入。本文就针对出入点以及实际写作中的原则及技巧进行阐述，为写作外贸英语函电的人员提供借鉴。
关键词：外贸；英语函电；技巧
中图分类号：G64 文献标识码：A
原标题：基于理论教学与项目实践相结合的外贸英语函电撰写技巧的研究
收录日期：2014年3月13日
在国际贸易中，一笔交易从买卖双方取得联系开始直至合同履行完毕，往往需要经过以下步骤：建立业务联系交易磋商合同签订合同履行。其中，各环节都会使用外贸函电进行联系，尤其是前两个环节的使用频率最高。在信息化高度发达的今天，外贸函电并不局限于纸质版的，也可以是电子邮件、传真或MSN。
一、撰写外贸英语函电应遵循的“7C”原则
1、体谅原则（consideration）：就是强调对方的情况而不是自己的情况，要体现一种站在他人角度去考虑、多体谅对方心情和处境。
2、礼貌原则（courtesy）：礼貌不仅仅是指有礼而已，或者简单的用一些礼貌用语就可以，它是从一个“You attitude”的角度考虑问题。如何让对方觉得是礼貌呢？尽量不用大写英文字母；不应使用过激、冒犯和轻视的词语；第一尽量用被动态；第二用疑问句；最后用虚拟句。
3、完整原则（completeness）：在函电中信息完整很关键，一封外贸英语函电应概括各项必需的事项。如，邀请信应说明时间、地点等，切忌寄出含糊不清的信件或一件事分多次书信传达给对方。
4、清楚原则（clarity）：是外贸英语函电写作最重要的原则。一封含糊不清、词不达意的书信会引起误会，甚至会造成贸易损失。要注意修饰词的位置；选择正确、简练的词以及正确的句子结构。
5、简洁原则（conciseness）：要求用最少的语言表达最丰富的内容。要做到简洁，必须避免废话连篇；能用单词表达短语的就用单词，能用短语表达句子的就用短语，能用短句表达长句的则用短句。
6、具体原则（concreteness）：外贸英语函电必须避免采用模糊、大概和抽象的词语和语句，应尽量运用具体的事实和数字，这样将有助于加快事务的进xxx。
7、正确原则（correctness）：语言和内容都要正确。具体体现在以下几点：标点符号的运用；单词的位置；介词的表达，数字前如果要用介词则须十分小心。
二、写作外贸英语函电的技巧
1、函电不宜写得过长。一般地，很多欧洲客户处理每一封函电的时间是2～3秒，也就是大致扫一眼。重要的函电，一般马上仔细阅读并回复；不是太重要的，会在outlook里标注上要处理的具体时间，然后从in box拉到相应的子目录里。
2、要有明确的主题。主题明确的写法举例“ ABC inc/Home Depot vendor-solar xxxk/DEF .”其中，ABC inc代表了客户的公司名，主题里首先加上对方公司名，表示对对方公司的尊重；Home Depot是美国第二大零售商，Home Depot vendor-solar xxxk明确表示自己是北美第三大零售商，既表明了实力，也勾起对方的兴趣；最后的DEF .代表自己公司。
3、函电开头不宜使用“From the internet……”。实际操作中，“From the internet，we get your company name.”类似的话千万不要说！可以这样写：“We're glad to hear that you're on the market for...”。（我们很高兴获悉你对某某产品有兴趣）。
4、不要长篇大论的介绍公司或工厂。但是可以这样写：We supply solar lights for Home Depot with high quality and competitive price. Hope to cooperate with you！简单的一两句话点到重点，调起对方的胃口，让他反过来问各种问题，这样容易达到目的。
5、不要为炫耀英文水平而不简洁。外贸英语函电的精髓就是“简单、简单、再简单”。能用一个词表达的绝对不用两个词或短语，能用一句话写清楚的绝对不写两句！
6、不宜用异样的字体。很多人为了追求醒目，总喜欢用很夸张的字体、颜色、甚至放大、加粗、斜体等等，其实一眼看上去会让人很不舒服。欧美人一般比较常用的字体就是以下几种：Arial、Verdana、Calibri、Times new roman，有时用Tahoma字体的，但相对少一点。一部分台湾和香港客户会用PMingLiU字体。至于颜色，一般都是黑色或者蓝色。切忌在一封邮件里出现多种奇奇挂怪的颜色，像彩虹一样，让对方感觉不舒服。
7、主动语态不宜用得过多。老外在英文函电写作中很少会用“We”、“I”之类的人称。相反，大多会用被动语态。比如“我们明天会寄给你样品”。中国人喜欢表述为“We'll send you the samples tomorrow. ”这句话没错，语法正确、意思清楚。但是老外通常会这样写“Samples will be sent to you tomorrow.”用的是被动语态，人称也就没有了。
8、切忌问一些毫无意义的话。比如“Do you want our products？”如果对方说No，怎么回复？外贸函电尤其是开发信还是要直接一点，直接告诉对方你是谁，做什么，优势在那里。只要清楚表述出这三点就可以了。
9、慎用附件和图片及URL链接。附件和图片很容易被国外的服务器拦截的。所以，第一次联系对方的时候最好全文本，不要出现任何的图片和附件。
10、语气要委婉，不要过于生硬。“please，help，kindly，could，thank you，appreciate”这样的话在邮件来往中是很普遍的。除非你和对方已经非常熟了，偶尔客套一下即可，平常可以不用了。
三、外贸英语函电案例
假如写一封邮件告诉客户John，上次收到的样品已经寄给工厂了，但工厂说材料不是ABS，而是PP，需要价格他们重新核算，但近期内原材料涨价，希望贵方能尽快确认，以便我方采购原材料并安排生产。
Hi John，
Samples received and already passed to vendor. The material was PP，not ABS. Offer sheet is preparing and will be sent to you soon.
By the way，raw material increased these days，please make a decision quickly to go ahead after price confirmed. We'll arrange the mass production. Thanks and best regards.
上述函电几句话点到主题，简洁、清楚、准确。能用一句话表达的，不写两句，省掉一切能省的废话；表达方式尽量少用第一人称，多用了被动语态。这就是一封好的外贸英语函电。

外贸函电总结 第6篇
关键词： 外贸函电教材 示范信函 教学改革
一、引言
外贸函电是国际贸易专业课xxx中的一门实践性很强的核心课xxx。它将英语写作与外贸专业知识紧密结合，考查学生的知识综合运用能力。笔者在教学过xxx中通过对2010年后出版的20余种课本教材进行研究，发现现行教材普遍存在一些缺陷。
二、外贸函电教材普遍存在的缺陷
1.传统信函写作比例偏高，电子邮件介绍极少。
随着信息技术的发展，外贸业务方式随之发生了很大改变。电子邮件逐渐成为外贸函电的主体形式。据统计，全球每天有90%以上的国际贸易商人使用英语电子邮件进行贸易业务交流[1]。但是现行课本却致力于传统书面信函写作，要么没有关于电子邮件的篇章，要么仅用极短的篇幅介绍什么是电子邮件或电子邮件的特点。对于如何写电子邮件，电子邮件写作与传统函电写作有什么区别，没有一本教材展开论述。个别教材中的大量示范信函属于电子邮件，但没有指出其特点及应用范围。
2.示范信函重复率高且年代久远。
外贸函电课本的主体是通过大量示范信函的展示来教导学生写作。通过对20余种课本教材的对比，笔者发现多种教材引用同一示范信函的现象普遍，例如磋商环节，有11本教材采用了“关于铁钉的询盘”作为询盘示范案例。且各种教材中均有不少示范信函年代久远，甚至个别案例是改革开放初期信函，简单更改年份仍在使用。这类信函语言与时代脱节，内容更是不符合当今社会现实，很难引起学生共鸣，缺乏实际指导意义。
3.示范信函内容缺乏真实感，前后无连贯性。
外贸函电课本除了简单介绍写作要点外，主要靠大量示范信函来教学。现行教材虽然各章节均加入大量xxx，但是xxx之间缺乏联系，前后章节之间缺乏连贯性。询盘的是客户甲，回复的却是客户乙；发盘产品是缝纫机，购买的却是水果罐头。学生看到的都是零散的信件，没有真实的交流、沟通的感觉，更没有外贸业务的流xxx感。
4.只有技术性信函，没有社交性沟通写作训练。
沟通是外贸业务人员必须具备的技能。外贸信函除了表达业务往来的信息外，还应该有人际沟通的一面。现行教材全面介绍了磋商、运输、保险等业务信息如何写作，却没有关于外贸交际的写作指导。例如展会后如何写信跟进相关客户，客户要求验厂时如何写信确认行xxx，个人出差时如何设置自动回复邮件等实际工作中十分常见的信函写作，在教材中均没有涉及。
三、教学改革措施
针对现行教材普遍存在的缺陷，笔者认为大学授课应基于教材，但不能局限、拘泥于教材。通过近两年的教学实践，笔者认为可以从以下几方面进行教学改革。
1.模拟外贸流xxx教学法。
首先必须从课xxx的总体设计进行改革。针对现有教材章节各自独立、示范信函前后无连贯性的缺陷，按照实际外贸流xxx重新编制授课顺序。教师将学生分为几个小组，模拟成立外贸公司。按照外贸xxx序，从建立业务关系开始，模拟真实场景下的询盘、发盘、还盘等环节，由各组同学进行外贸函电写作。每个小组形成完整的书信来往记录，并写出模拟外贸实战报告。通过模拟实战，一方面提高学生对课xxx的兴趣，另一方面通过参与写作增强学生动手能力。
2.引入“福步论坛”，使用最新的真实案例进行教学。
外贸函电总结 第7篇
如何表达在涨价前订货
Thank you for your letter of October 10 for business copiers. We are now sending you our price-list and catalog of the newest types that are under production and we can supply at once from stock.
We want to notice you that prices of copier parts and components have gone up steadily since the second half of the year. Though we have tried hard to keep our quotations down, we are afraid the margin for keeping on going like this will not long. Therefore, we suggest that you will let us have your order before further rises in costs, which will lead to a raise in prices very soon unavoidably.
感谢贵方10月10日关于商用复印机的询函。现随函奉送本公司正在生产的、并有现货供应的最新型号的产品清单和价目表。
我方想告诉贵方，自下半年以来，复印机的零、部件价格一直不断增长。尽管我方尽量压低报价，但恐怕有此余地的时间不会太久。因此，建议贵方在零、部件再次涨价，并不可避免地引起成品涨价之前便向我方订货。
要求及时供货
We understand that you are the agent for the White Tiger ties. We enclose our order for 1000 dozens of the White Tiger ties. Please note that we need these goods rather urgently as Christmas is drawing near. If you could supply goods timely for seasons, we would make repeated orders, provided prices are reasonable. Payment for the enclosed order will be made on a draft at sight under our letter of credit opened in your favor on receipt of your confirmation that the goods are sent out, and can be delivered before 1, December, .
获悉贵公司为“白虎牌领带”的代理商。兹附上1000打白虎牌领带订单一份。
请注意，由于 圣诞节 在即，本公司急需这批货物。如果贵公司能够及时供应时令货品，而且价格公道，我方将继续订货。
此票订单之货款，待确认贵方已于12月1日前发货之后，本公司即向贵公司开出见票即付的 信用证 。
要求代理商报价
We have read in China Daily that you are the exclusive agent for Hi-Fi Corporation of Africa and Asia. Would you please send us price-lists and catalogues of all the Hi-Fi wireless products and terms of payment. Please advise if you would grant special terms for an annual trade over 1 million . dollars. A visit of your representative would be appreciated. Perhaps he could bring the newest samples of the 999 hand phone, an item of growing interest here.
我方从《中国日报》上获知，贵公司为高保真公司在非洲和亚洲的独家代理商。
请惠送该公司所有无线通讯产品的目录、价目表及付款条件，并请告知，如果每年交易额达100万美元以上，是否可获得特别条件。
敬请贵方派代表来与我们洽谈，并携带最新999型手机样品，该产品在此地销路看好。

外贸函电的规范与否直接影响到客户对公司的印象，对于外贸人员来说，每天写外贸函电，回复函电。你的函电是否规范呢? 把直接的函电于下文对照看看。。。
说明涨价原因
Dear Sir or Madam:
Enclosed is our new price list which will come into effect the end of this month. You will see that we have increased our prices on most models. We have, however, refrained from doing so on some models of which we hold large stocks. The explanation for our increased prices stems from the fact that we are now paying 10% more for our raw materials than we were paying last year, along with some of our subcontractors having raised their prices as much as 15%.
As you know, we take great pride in our product an dare proud of the reputation for quality and dependability we have built over 15years. We will not compromise that reputation because of raising costs. We have, therefore, decided to raise the price of some of our products.
We hope you will understand our position and look forward to your cooperation.
With best regards,
Hillary
说服买家涨价之前下单
Dear Sir or Madam:
This is regarding our quotation dated 2 November, and our mail offer dated 8 November concerning the supply of widgets(小机具).We are prepared to keep our offer open until the end of this month.
For your information, the market is firm and growing. There is very little likelihood of any significant change in the visible future. As this product is in great demand and the supply is limited, to secure your order, we would recommend that you accept this offer without delay.
Yours sincerely,
Hillary
对价格作出让步
Dear Sir or Madam:
Thank you for your mail. We are disappointed to hear that our price for your required product is too high for your acceptance. You mentioned that Japanese goods are being offered to you at a price approximately 8% lower than our quote.
We accept your position, but we are of the opinion that the quality of the other makes does not measure up to that of our products. Although we are keen to do business with you, we regret that we cannot accept your counter offer.
We do want to try and work with you, and meet your request, but the best we can do is to reduce our previous quotation by 3%.We hope that this will meet your approval.
We look forward to hearing from you.
With best regards,
Hillary
答复在30日有效期的信用状付款的建议
Dear Sir or Madam:
Thank you for your order of 500b/w TV sets by your letter dated 17 July.
We have considered your proposal to pay by a 30-day letter of credit. We do not usually accept time credit; however, in view of our long and mutually beneficial relationship, we are willing to make an exception this time.
I must stress that this departure from our usual practice relates to this transaction only. This one-time accommodation does not set a precedent for future transactions.
I am enclosing our sales contract covering the order. I would be grateful if you would follow the usual procedure.
Yours sincerely,
Hillary
答复直接付款的要求
Dear Sir or Madam:
Thank you for your letter dated 2 October requesting payment against documents for contracts and 483.
We are pleased to say that we agree to your request. We wish, however, to make it clear that in our future transactions, involved for each transaction is less than US$5,000 or the equivalent in Renminbi. Should the amount exceed that figure, payment by letter of credit will be required.
We would like to say that this exception is allowed only in light of our long and mutually beneficial association.
Yours sincerely,
Hillary

Thank you for your letter of October 10 for business copiers. We are now sending you our price-list and catalog of the newest types that are under production and we can supply at once from stock.
We want to notice you that prices of copier parts and components have gone up steadily since the second half of the year. Though we have tried hard to keep our quotations down, we are afraid the margin for keeping on going like this will not long. Therefore, we suggest that you will let us have your order before further rises in costs, which will lead to a raise in prices very soon unavoidably.
感谢贵方10月10日关于商用复印机的询函。现随函奉送本公司正在生产的、并有现货供应的最新型号的产品清单和价目表。

外贸函电总结 第11篇
（一）教学方法
通过相关的总结，我们发现当前外贸函电教学过xxx中主要存在两种教学方式：首先是单纯的“讲译练”的教学方式，顾名思义就是由老师进行讲解，之后对课文内容进行翻译，最后对各种书面文件的书写进行翻译。这种教学方式大部分时间都花在了理论知识的讲解上，过于重视外语的写作以及翻译训练，错误地将外贸函电与外贸英语写作画上了等号。其次是结合案例来教学的方式，这种方式相比较第一种教学方式来说更加贴近这门课xxx的实际状况，因为融入了案例，所以说不管是外贸文书的写作训练，还是必要的英语翻译技巧，学生的综合能力都能够得到提高。但是这种教学方式之下，老师对于案例的讲解往往会遗留很多细节问题，然后这些问题却是学生在将来的工作中真正需要面对的。基于工作过xxx的外贸函电教学改革，主张的就是从对外贸易的基本环节入手来对这门课xxx进行教学，它比一般案例教学更为具体，也更容易帮助学生梳理这门学科的知识体系，形成逻辑化思维。
（二）教师水平参差不齐
目前，在我国很多高校的外贸函电课xxx都是由英语老师来负责教的，他们虽然具备扎实的英语功底，但是外贸方面的知识却很匮乏，尤其是缺乏真实的实践经验，所以说虽然能够从英语的角度对学生进行有针对性的指导，但是在专业知识讲解方面的作用却不是那么明显。如果不改变这一问题，基于工作过xxx的外贸函电教学改革就难以发挥出它应有的作用。此外，部分学校会选择聘请相关企业的外贸骨干来学校进行交流，多是以开讲座的形式来进行讲解，但是由于次数有限以及其他方面因素的影响，并没有取得预期的效果。所以，对于这门课的教学只有建立起高素质的教师队伍，提高教师的基本能力，才能够避免出现以上问题，进而实现基于工作过xxx的教学改革目标，真正培养出高素质的外贸人才。
二、基于工作过xxx的外贸函电教学改革
（一）改革教学内容
外贸函电的教学内容区别于其他的课xxx，我们可以简单把它分为两个模块，一个是显性知识，另一个是隐性知识。显性知识指的是一些我们可以“看到”的实际的知识，例如公式、图表、文字和图片的形式，而隐性知识指的就是经验性和口语性的知识。传统的课xxx教学过于侧重显性知识的教学，只注重培养学生的基础知识，忽视了学生的动手操作能力，学生对于隐性知识的掌握就很成问题。因此我们应该改革教学内容，实现显性知识和隐性能力的有机结合。对于学生的培养我们不能仅仅局限于课本知识，我们教育的目的是培养能够满足社会发展需求的高素质人才，因此我们还要注重综合能力的培养。外贸函电是一门需要扎实的英语基础以及掌握基础的外贸知识的课xxx，所以说从两个方面对学生进行培养，才能够真正满足社会的发展。
（二）改革教学模式
综合当前外贸企业对于人才的实际需求以及这一行业的总体现状，我们可以总结出真正能够胜任外贸岗位的人才需要具备以下能力：沟通能力、谈判能力、学习能力、吃苦能力、表达能力以及团队合作精神。而基于工作过xxx的教学改革，恰好能够培养学生这些方面的能力，具体来说可以通过在课上进行“模拟公司运营”的方式来锻炼学生解决问题的能力。而不是一味地讲解理论或者案例，老师是模拟过xxx的总协调者，而学生则是“公司”的员工。教师把实际需要讲解的内容整编成一个个“项目活动”，让每一个学生都能够参与进来，各司其职。当然人员的搭配上老师一定要综合考虑各方面因素，尽量做到合理，这样学生对自己未来的工作环境能够有一个准确的感知，会意识到自己哪一方面还存在问题。这对于提高学生的综合素质，培养他们的实际工作能力是非常有帮助的。外贸函电是一门实践性很强的课xxx，对于这门课xxx来说，基于工作过xxx对其进行改革，能够改变当前这一行业之内人才素质不高的现状，真正培养出能够独当一面的外贸人才。但是具体来说，因为各方面因素的限制这部分的改革还存在很多问题，对于这部分工作我们需要形成一个完整的方案。上文是根据笔者的经验对此进行的总结，希望能够对改善当前外贸函电的教学现状有所帮助，也希望有越来越多的外贸人才能够走向工作岗位，推动我国经济更好地发展。

说明价格调整原因
I enclose our new price list , which will come into effect ,from the end of this month. You will see that we have increased our prices on most models.

As you know , we take great pride in our machines and are jealous of the reputation for quality and dependability which we have achieved over the last years.

We hope you will understand our position and look forward to your orders.

外贸函电总结 第18篇
[关键词]外贸英语函电 教学现状 教学体系
一、引言
高职教育具有与普通教育不同的特点与规律，它以“就业为导向，服务为宗旨”。所以，高职教育的教学改革不仅要考虑到教育层面的教学认知规律，还要兼顾市场经济条件下对从业人员职业能力的诉求。国际商务和国际贸易专业学生既要掌握一定的国际贸易理论，也要有一定的外贸业务操作技能。外贸英语函电是国际贸易买卖双方主要的沟通手段。外贸英语函电写作技能是外贸业务员最基本的职业技能，而外贸业务员也是国际商务和国际贸易专业学生职业发展的目标岗位。因此，对外贸英语函电课xxx的教学内容、教学模式、教学方法、教学条件等教学体系进行创新性研究，从而提高学生的函电写作实战能力，为今后的职业发展奠定良好的基础是十分重要的。本文将以浙江工商职业技术学院国商国贸专业的外贸函电教学为例，分析了外贸英语函电课xxx的教学现状，并对其教学体系进行了创新性研究。
二、外贸英语函电课xxx教学现状
目前，浙江工商职业技术学院国商国贸专业的外贸英语函电课xxx实施项目化教学模式，理论教学与实践教学的比例大致为1:1。这种以外贸工作过xxx为主线的任务型课xxx打破了传统的灌输式、填鸭式教学模式，强调学生的主观能动性，使学生在策划、组织和实施项目的过xxx中内化理论知识，同时提高了操作技能。然而，该课xxx在项目化教学实践的过xxx中依旧存在着一些问题：
1.教师层面
（1）极端化教学。外贸英语函电的教学目的是培养既具扎实的听、说、读、写、译的语言功底，又懂外贸专业知识的“语言+专业”复合型人才。教师在授课中往往出现两种极端化教学方式。一种是将函电课等同于英语语言课xxx，着重分析函电的字、词、句，而忽略了专业知识的传授。学生不明白在哪个外贸环节写什么类型的信函、信函的写作目的是什么、要解决什么问题等。另一种是教师只是一味地强调专业知识的讲解，却忽略了学生语言技能的提高。两种极端化教学方式均无法实现学生运用规范的语言独立撰写专业的函电的目标。因此，对于教师来说，正确把握语言和专业知识的讲授比例，并有效地融语言和专业于一体是非常重要的。
（2）教学资料与实际应用的脱节。目前，外贸英语函电的教学资料均来自教科书。在教学过xxx中会产生两个问题：一、教科书上的样信虽然丰富，但是样信之间在内容上缺乏连贯性，不利于学生对整笔业务往来函电的理解和掌握；二、教科书上的样信更加注重语言方面的修饰，采用较多的“大词”、“生词”，既不利于学生的消化吸收，也是与实际应用相脱节的。因此，教学需要在教学资料的选择进行仔细斟酌。
（3）教师缺乏企业实战经验。随着2000年1月《教育部关于加强高职高专教育人才培养工作的意见》中提到的：“双师型”教师队伍建设是提高高职高专教育教学质量的关键。很多高职院校都对专业教师提出了更高的要求，并将“双师”资格的考核作为人才聘用的条件之一。这在一定xxx度上促使教师不断提升自己的职业能力和素养。然而，从事外贸英语函电教学的教师虽然拥有经济师资格，但是真正参与过外贸业务磋商的人却是寥寥无几，很难将函电内容分析透彻。如在浙江工商职业技术学院国商国贸专业有四位专业教师讲授外贸英语函电课xxx，只有一人具有十年的外贸工作经历。
2.学生层面
（1）学生缺乏对信函预设情境的系统性了解。外贸英语函电项目课xxx分为准备工作、建立业务关系、业务磋商、支付、包装、保险、装运、投诉与索赔等八个子项目，采用“讲练”结合的方式。而在“讲”这一环节中，只是针对设置的项目练习零散地讲解样信，缺乏系统性。实际上，在外贸各个环节下可能存在各种状况，如在支付这一环节中，可能存在着商讨支付方式、要求采用简化的支付方式、催开信用证、修改信用证条款、延展信用证等。因此，只是针对设置的项目练习介绍几封样信是不完善的。
外贸函电总结 第19篇
关键词：外贸英语函电；教学改革与实践；思路
一、外贸英语函电的意义及重要性分析
外贸英语函电是外贸英语专业学生必修课xxx之一，是一门将英语与外贸业务相结合的课xxx，也是一门实践操作性很强的课xxx。外贸英语函电课xxx具有实用性强、专业性、综合性强、规范性与灵活性相结合的特点。随着世界经济一体化的迅猛发展，中国对外贸易的活动也越来越频繁，这就要求外贸英语、国际贸易等相关专业的学生掌握更多外贸英语函电的特点和写作技能，提高他们将来在国际商务活动中运用英语的能力。但长期以来，外贸英语函电课xxx受传统英语教学的影响严重，理论教学占去了很大比重，时间很薄弱，而外贸英语函电显然是一门应用性强的课xxx，需要更多的实践环节来强化。因此，越来越多的高校开始重新审视外贸英语函电课xxx的重要性，努力的在转变着传统僵化的教学思路，与时俱进的提高着外贸英语函电课xxx的教学质量。
二、外贸英语函电教学改革与实践的主要思路
（一）优化课xxx设置，增加实践环节比重
（二）提高教师素质，加强师资队伍建设
教学质量，是高校办学的生命线，而优秀的教师队伍则是高校教学质量得以保障的基础。外贸英语函电课xxx是一门应用性很强的课xxx，因此，也相应的需要教师有足够丰富的理论知识与实践经验。一方面需要教师有扎实的英语教学功底，能对各种环境下的外贸函电用语、措辞进行深入细致的分析。另一方面还要求教师要有比较扎实的外贸相关专业知识，能有机的把英语与外贸专业知识联系起来。这就要求教师需要做“复合型”人才，所以高校一方面要加强对现有教师的培训工作，从英语知识本身加强；另一方面也要给教师更多培训和继续教育的机会，让他们有更多的机会深入企业，参与企业的实际工作，较快提高业务知识水平[3]。还可以定向的增加对英语教师外贸知识的培训，以提高教师外贸英语函电课xxx的教学水平。为此，现在很多学者都提出了外贸英语函电课xxx教师要进入“双师型”的复合型教师时代，其界定为“既取得了教师系列职称,同时又获了其他有关系列职称资格的教师”。
（三）完善教学模式，优化项目教学方法
项目教学法主要是以职业岗位为导向，通过密切联系与职业相关的工作流xxx，用特异性的项目任务来完成对学生专业技能进行培训和训练，充分体现了理论联系实践现代教育理念的一种教学模式。该教学模式比较有效的避免了教师一言堂或者教师占主导地位的课堂，对于调动学生学习积极性，发挥学生主体性，提高教学效率有着非常积极的作用。在具体的教学实践中，教师需要先根据学生的具体情况，比如爱好、兴趣、能力、成绩等，把学生进行分组，每组4个人。任务一：对教师提供的资料进行讨论、分析，对供求信息的可能来源进行推测，总结出寻找潜在客户的诸多途径；任务二：分小组各自成立一个虚拟的贸易公司，成员分别承担不同的任务，讨论如何向客户介绍“公司”，包括产品和经营范围等；任务三：找出有关建立业务关系信函的结构，术语与句式，学生以“公司”为单位，根据客户的求购信息和先前的讨论结果写出结构合理、表述清晰、语言流畅、逻辑严密的建立业务关系函，每组至少完成一封信函[4]。最终，由教师对各组的成果进行评比，优胜者教师要给与奖励。
（四）创新教学思路，活学活用课堂知识
虽然说外贸函电中很多都是规范的用语，尤其一些贸易往来的信件、函件，普遍要求文字表达上要清楚、简洁、礼貌、措辞规范。但在实际的商务信件往来中，还是有一些技巧需要我们注意。因为毕竟打交道的双方都是有感情的人，既然是人与人之间的交往，很多时候一些更为恰当的语气表达方式，可能收效要比过分墨守成规的条条框框要更有效。比如，我们在函件中使用被动语态，在一些场合下就可以有效的化解双方产生的一些矛盾，而且能委婉地向对方提出要求和建议，避免了生硬的语气，容易让对方接受我方所要传达的信息，促成交易的顺利实现。[5]比如语句：Your kindness in giving priority to the consideration ofthe above request will be highly appreciated．(我们将非常感激贵公司对于上述请求的优先考虑。)；另外，在合适的场合选用过去时态，往往也会比现在时态更能委婉的表达意思：比如：We hoped that you would do your best to promote business as well as friendship．(我们希望你方尽最大努力既促进业务又增进友谊。)
三、结语
教学法的研究为越来越多的英语老师所重视，关于英语教学方法的观点文章也层出不穷，然而对于外贸英语教学方法的研究却相对较少。因此，外贸英语函电课xxx老师也更多的是遵从传统的教学方法来教授商务英语这门现代课xxx[6]。结果导致学生普遍应用能力差，在工作中常常无所适从。而要想彻底转变这种现状，不仅需要外贸英语函电课xxx老师要不断的转变教学方法，更重要的是从教学理念上要摆正。要从更深层次上认识外贸英语函电课xxx的意义，尤其是其实用性的价值方面，更是要深入的分析。当然，不仅仅是外贸英语函电课xxx，任何一门课xxx的教学改革都不可能是一蹴而就的事情，都离不开教师长期的研究、分析，包括学校整体教学思路的转变。这些都是需要教师更多的付出，以学生能力提高为中心，最终才能形成更为行之有效的外贸英语函电课xxx教学思路。

Key words: writing strategy training vocational college Business Correspondence
写作是学习者英语综合能力的体现。对于把英语作为外语学习的中国学生来说,写作涉及的内容,小到标点、拼写,大到词句连缀、布局谋篇,处处离不开语言基本功,用“慢工出细活儿”来描述毫不夸张。函电往来是开展对外经济贸易活动中使用最广泛和局面通讯联系手段,是商业活动中的一个必要组成部分。面对我国快速发展的外贸形势,各高等院校纷纷开设了《外贸函电》课xxx,该课xxx也成为高职院校涉外专业的一门必修专业基础课。外贸函电旨在培养能正确阅读并书写外经贸商务函电的人才。
外贸函电课xxx是一门实用性较强的课xxx,要求学生在有较扎实的英语功底的基础上,还要掌握函电的专业术语和写作技巧,因此难度较大,进步较慢。对于国际贸易专业的学生来说可能有一定的外贸知识,但英语基础又不够好;对于英语专业的学生又往往英语基础不错,但外贸知识又相对匮乏。因此,要让学生主动学习外贸函电,在学习中迎难而上,教师除了要有丰富的英语知识和外贸知识外,还要注意在教学中对学生进行学习策略的培训。
一、学习策略的定义和分类
早期的学习策略,是在第二语言学习的基础上进行的。1975年,Rubin对第二语言的学习策略进行了调查,这标志着对语言学习策略研究的开始。此后,越来越多的专家学者对学习策略进行了研究,随着研究领域和深度不断扩大,取得了一些积极成果。以下是几种较有代表性的学习策略的定义:
(1)Rubin(1975)认为学习策略是有助于学习学习者自我建构的语 言发展的基础,这些策略能直接影响语言的发展。
(2)Stern(1983)认为策略最好用于泛指语言学习者采用的方法(approach)的一般趋势和总体特点,技巧(technique)用于描述可视行为的具体形式。
(3)Chamot(1987)认为学习策略是学习者采用的技巧方法或者刻意的行为,其目的是为了提高学习效果和易于回忆语言的形式和内容。
(4)Oxford(_)认为语言学习策略是学习者为了使语言学习更加自主、更加愉快而采取的行为或行动。
Rod Ellis(1994)根据他们所争论的焦点,采取折中的方法,从描述学习策略的特点入手,对学习策略作了一个比较全面的定义。她认为:(1)学习策略既可指总体的学习方法,又可指第二语言习得的具体活动或技巧。(2)学习策略的出发点是为了解决问题,即学习者运用学习策略是为了解决学习中碰到的具体问题。(3)学习者一般都能意识到自己所采用的学习策略,并能对其内容进行描述,尤其是当别人要求学习者注意自己的活动时。(4)学习策略涵概了语言及非语言的活动。(5)语言学习策略既可以通过母语也可以通过非母语得到执行。(6)有些学习策略是可从外部观察得到的行为,有些则是不可观察的内部心理活动。(7)大部分学习策略是为学习者提供了可处理的语言信息,对语言学习者有间接影响。(8)学习策略的运用会因事因人而各不相同。
语言学习策略的分类,较为典型的有如下几种类型:(1)O'Malley和Chamot(1990)根据信息处理的理论将学习策略分为元认知策略(用于评价、管理和监控认知策略的使用)、认知策略(用于语言学习的活动中)和社会/情感策略(只是为学习者提供更多的接触语言的机会)。(2)Oxford(1990)根据策略与语言材料的关系把学习策略分为直接策略和间接策略;记忆策略、认知策略和补偿策略。间接策略包括:元认知策略、情感策略和社会策略。(3)我国《新英语课xxx标准》中把学习策略分为认知策略、调控策略、交际策略和资源策略。
二、语言学习策略培训的意义
语言学习策略培训指教师指导学习者在学习和使用语言过xxx中根据需要有效地运用策略的活动。。近几年已经出现了学习策略培训方面的研究,有就某几种专门策略进行培训继而研究其有效性的,也有从培训模式入手进行探讨的。其目的都是为了说明学习策略与第二语言学习成效间的关系,寻找培养策略型学习者的有效方法。Pearson&Dole(1987)等以单项策略训练为目标对本族语学习者进行策略培训。Oxford et al 与Pearson相反(Cohen,2000),他明确强调策略意识,讨论策略使用的好处,指出要在一定情境中进行策略练习和自我评估,监控语言行为,并建议要学会将学习策略迁移到新的语言任务中。Cohen在《学习和运用第二语言的策略》一书中,提出了以策略为基础的英语教学模式(Cohen,2000)。这是一种以学习者为中心的教学模式,它将学习策略培训以明确或隐含的方式融入到课xxx内容中。这一模式有5个步骤:(1)教师对可能有用的学习策略进行描述、示范和举例;(2)基于学生自身的学习经验,引出更多(使用)策略的例子;(3)引导小组或全班学生讨论学习策略(如反思学习策略的使用方法、计划,评价所选策略的有效性);(4)鼓励学生练习,使用更多策略;(5)把策略与日常课堂教材相结合,以明确或隐含方式将策略融进语言,为学生提供语境化的策略练习。
学习策略培训不仅有利于学习者提高学习效果,更好地实现学习目标,而且有利于他们探索适合自己的学习途径,增强他们的独立学习和自主学习的能力,从而为终身学习创造条件。
三、高职高专外贸函电教学中写作策略培训的必要性
当前,高职高专《外贸函电》教学面临许多困难,其中最主要的因素之一是学生的英语水平整体不高。高校的扩招及国家对职业教育的鼓励和支持,让更多的高中生有机会接受高等教育,圆了他们的“大学梦”,这是令人欣喜的。但目前,我国高职高专院校的学生来源大多分为两种:一种是经过正式的高考录取的普通高中毕业生,他们经过了三年高中的英语学习。另一种是参加高职升学考试,从中专、技校、职业中学升入高职高专的学生,俗称“三校生”。这些学生的英语水平整体不高,对英语学习都有或多或少的吃力感。
以笔者现在任课的四个2008级涉外物流专业班级学生为例,他们的《外贸函电》课xxx开设在二年级的第二学期(即2010年春季学期)。2009年秋季学期,他们的《大学英语》课xxx期末考试的成绩如下:成绩最好的班级及格率为80%,而成绩最不好的班级及格率为60%,其中各班成绩在85分以上的学生人数均占不到全班的10%。从试卷分析的结果看,四个班学生在考试中丢分较多的题型是翻译和写作题。
《外贸函电》综合了英语的基础知识和涉外商务的相关知识,是一门系统性、模仿性、实践性和操作性都有很强的课xxx。结合高职高专学生的特点,教师不能只研究如何教,还要让学生知道如何学,以适应社会的要求“教会学生学习”。
四、高职高专外贸函电教学中的写作策略培训
为了提高学生的外贸函电写作能力,结合外贸函电的课xxx特色和高职高专学生的特点,笔者在教学过xxx中渗透英语写作策略的培训,主要体现在以下几个方面。
首先是学习、模仿样式。丰富扎实的词汇、语法知识是提高写作水平的重要基础。外贸函电除了要求扎实的语法知识外,还要学生掌握有关外贸的专业词汇。此外,外贸函电作为一种商业信函,有其特定的格式,通常分为缩行式(Indented Form)、齐头式(Block Form)和混合式(Modified Block Form with Indented Style)三种。内容也要求有开头语(Opening Sentence),信的正文(Body of the Letter)和结束语(Closing Sentence)三个部分。称呼语(Salutation)和结尾礼词(Complimentary Close)也是函电信件的必要部分。学生首先得学习商业信函的格式,弄清各部分内容在信中的位置和书写方法,然后在撰写信函时,可以直接或套手自己喜欢的一种格式。
其次是词汇和句子训练,归纳、诵记句式。丰富扎实的词汇、语法知识是提高写作水平的重要基础。外贸函电除了要求扎实的语法知识外,还要学生掌握有关外贸的专业词汇。由于外贸函电有其独特的语言特征,因此学生在学习时,可以归纳、总结所学过的常用词汇、短语和句型进行分门别类,然后花些时间背诵、记忆所归纳和总结的内容。学生可以通过强化那些带有短语或词组的较典型的句式,尽量能做到一书而就。这样的日积月累有助于学生词汇量的扩大以及短语和句型的运用。比如,给对方回信的开头用语,常用的有:
Thank you for your letter of April 28.
We welcome your letter of April 28.
We are pleased/glad to receive your letter dated April 28.
We refer to your letter of April 28.
第三进行英汉对比分析。由于母语环境的影响,要求学生完全用英语思维是不可能的。笔者在教学中注意分析两种语言的异同,收集母语负迁移造成的错误,使学生明白造成负迁移的原因,慢慢学会在写作中运用英语思维。同时,还引导学生运用已掌握的母语写作技能来服务于自己的外贸函电写作。
第四是操练、撰写形式。在具备了一定的外贸词汇量,掌握了必要的外贸句型,了解了外贸实务的各个环节后,学生要练习如何撰写各种信函的形式。在操练过xxx中,笔者引导学生由入深地分三步实施:(1)从英汉互译入手,先句子,再段落,到全文。(2)给学生必要词汇和相关材料,学生可以根据手头上的材料进行组织。(3)设计特定的外贸情境,学生按标准的信函格式自由发挥。
最后是自我评价和修改。修改阶段也是学生自我反思、学生之间相互商讨、相互评估、提供富有建设性意见、优化内容和结构的过xxx。笔者在外贸函电的教学过xxx中,改变教师评、学生看的单一模式,要求学生自评、互评,注意评价主体的互动和方式的多样性。在这个过xxx中,一方面使学生意识到与他人合作的重要性;另一方面,大大减少教师的负担,教师可以有重点地对作文进行反馈,找出有代表性的问题来讲评。
五、结束语
外贸函电是一门内容丰富、实践性很强的课xxx。该课xxx要求学生既要掌握外贸业务的专业知识,又要积累专业英语词汇及表达方式。高职高专学生各方面知识相对较弱,对学习外贸函电会遇到不小的困难,因此,在教学过xxx中进行写作策略的培训是必不可少的。笔者认为,在实施写作策略训练中,教师注意以下几点:首先,教师应掌握系统的学习策略理论,有培养学生学习策略的意识。其次,激发学生的学习兴趣,提高学生的学习主动性。第三,策略训练和语言训练相结合。第四,师生评估相结合。只有尊重学生的主体性、主动性和创造性,尊重学生的差异性,对不同学生采取不同写作策略的培训,学生的写作能力就会得到进一步提高。
