Abstract: With the establishment of business English major in the universities in China, more and more kinds of the business English teaching materials have flooded into the market. However, the authors find that the business English teaching materials in the market can’t totally meet the demand of business English education. Based on the theory of Constructivism, the authors firstly do the research on the present market of business English textbooks, and then design questionnaire to investigate users’ opinion about textbook. The statistics indicates that the existing business English textbooks can’t effectively attract the university students for self-studying, and more group work and activities are desirable. Finally, the authors try to offer some suggestions for improvement of business English textbook to enhance effectiveness of business English teaching and learning.
