Totally agree , my major is Statistics (minor in finance).
I have so few chance to sharpen my " business English" skill.
I take lots of classes in Johnson B/S. Ha....still no chance to
speak English. Most of time you need to "read" lots of articles,
textbooks, or lecture notes.
Conversational English is fine. ( cause I have some US friends)
But what we need is "business English"....it is really hard to
improve in just "2" year program.
English is much important than anything if you want to work in US.
( If you can not speak fluent English , how can you compete with ABC or native speakers ?...even through you know a lot , so what ! )
hahahaha \$m[1]:蠻贊同水手的看法 來美國和英文學好沒太大的關西 光是MBA的課業就非常吃力的 如果你選財務主修的話更是沒啥機會講話 頂多一到兩次的project presenttation 大部分時間都是埋首書堆 如果你選Marketing主修的話也許好一點點點點點
一切還是要靠自己下工夫 像我托福260 上課沒問題(因為有textbook阿) 看american Idol大概可以聽到九成 看CNN掉到頂多五成 看哈利波特 慘慘 大概兩成 更糟的是 在美國生活日常會話大多和我們學的不一樣 常常一句話就震住
我現在開始調整我的時間分配 學業不求A 但多些時間看英文 免的回國 被人家校 哈哈哈 留美的 英文不怎樣嗎 讓你參考囉
對了 我覺得所有知識 多是學了又忘 頂多是抓到idea 花點時間搞英文比較好 不然空有一身好本領 確講不出口 滿遺憾的
