Abstract
Business communications instructors enroll an increasing number of English- as-a-second-language (ESL) students in their classes, yet find that the assigned communications and grammar texts are often inappropriate for this population. Research in the grammatical, rhetorical, and lexical items characteristic of business does exist, as do nonnative speaker "general" grammar texts. However, much more needs to be done before the English characteristics of business can be identified and adequately presented to the ESL student.Keywords
