Abstract
With the purpose to design a book for teaching English for Specific Purposes to students from the last semester of Business Administration at PUCE Esmeraldas, a descriptive, qualitative-quantitative research was undertaken, by using methods as analysis, synthesis and hermeneutics, the survey technique was applied to 17 Business Administration students from September 2018 to January 2019.
The results showed that students did not have knowledge of terminology, applied phrases, vocabulary and communicative functions which are caused by the lack of resources and materials, and the lack of knowledge of ESPB at the university.
The results coincide with previous studies about the importance of the creation of a business book for students in order to achieve the process of Business English learning. In conclusion, to design a book of Business English to students increase their knowledge about specific terminology for the career, besides for their future jobs in which applying communicative functions with foreign people around the world is important, and as a teachers’ guide by taking into account different strategies, activities and exercises to help students.
