It also explores the causes for its rapid development and for its problems. The development of BE writing course-books is characterized by “six shifts”, i.e. shift from business-process-oriented system to speech-act- and information-oriented system; from single form of foreign trade correspondence to various forms of business writing; from emphasis on BE text itself to communicative strategies; and from using samples in too formal style to samples in informal style. There are mainly six problems in the development of such course-books, including absence of theories and principles in course-book writing, lack of necessary needs analysis, repetitive use of the out-of-date materials, low authenticity in materials and tasks, insufficiency in the development of three-dimensional course-books, and lag in BE writing course-book research. We hope this research is beneficial to the future development of BE writing course-books.
