PART 1: INTRODUCTION Part one of the research states the rationale for the study. It also outlines the aims, scope, method, significance, and design of the thesis 1. Rationale Gwer the past decade, the merease off international economic integration atter Vietnam’s accession to the WTO has made more job opportunities available for Vietnamese labor force. People are made accessible to positions not only in local business enterprises but also in large forcign corporations.
As a direct result, university graduales ave greal chances to be employed by local companies which have increasing business relationships with oversea ones, and even by multinational enterprises. [ence, the ability to use English has become one of the preliminary requirements for a potential candidate, Although Vietnam has been exposed to the market economy for a considerable period, there remains a lack of economic tsrminology system in generat and Vietnamese equivalents of English occupational filles in particular. Professional litles a among, those English terms which are popularly used in both local and global companies, In addition, an incomest choice of business contacts due to the misunderstanding of their job title’s responsibilities may negalively affect the viability of business cooperation. As a matler of fact, working people need to have some knowledge about business titles.
Being a teacher of English responsible for teaching linglish ta students majored in Imanagemenl, studies, my job is to help students improve their language proficieney and. provide them with the language skills they need for their future career. Thus, I feel the need to pre-teach students the common job titles and people's responsibihties when they hold these posts. So far, few rescarchers have had interest in researching the job titles in the cconomic fields.
Therefote, to be able to provide leamers with better understanding of the professional tiles and their implied meanings, if is ne ary for me lo do a research into the frequently used job titles and the responsibilities undertaken by people carrying those titles. ‘Throughout history, joint-stock companies, though might be denoted by different names, remain one of the most popular business models in many countries in the world as well as in Victnarn. In addition, the prof sioral titles of this Lype of company can be found ABSTRACT ‘This study is an attempt to uncover the intrinsic meanings of commonly used English profsssional titles in the managerant sy em of American joint-slock companies and look for their Vieamese equivalents.
