This thesis would not come into being if I had not received help from mysupervisor, teachers, classmates, and family. They offered me so much encouragement,without which I could have already given up. But before I express my sincerestgratitude to them, I would thank my God. It was always He who first came to help mewhen my faith was influenced by Blakes unorthodox theological thinking. Again itwas He who gave me wisdom and patience to do whatever I did for his glory.
“Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might.” (NIV, Ecclesiastes 9:10)And here is the prayer when I was in the valley of despair: “May the favor of the Lordour God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us-yes, establish the workof our hands.” (Psalm 91:17) It is His faithfulness and unfailing love that urged me towrite the thesis with all my might.
My supervisor Xu Xiaodong did offer me so much help that I feel so grateful tohim. He has lent me over thirty valuable monographs, biographies, anthologies, andcollections of essays. Nearly all of the books were bought from abroad at his ownexpense. His fervent love for literature, his relentless pursuit of knowledge, and hismeticulous attitude towards research manifest the personalities and qualities I shouldcultivate as a qualified scholar. Whenever I sent him an article he always gave meprecious suggestions that really improved my critical thinking a lot. For many times Ifailed to keep my promise, he forgave me and kept encouraging me to pursue mystudies. I give my most genuinely gratitude to him for his generous help.
Besides my supervisor, I have benefited from many other teachers. Prof. ZhangRuwen, Prof. Yi Jianhong, Prof. Jiang Yuebin, Sun Jiurong and Wei Lina, they havetaught me many critical approaches and broadened the scope of my knowledge invarious fields of literature. Moreover, I would like to extend my gratitude to myclassmates and roommates. They taught me how to balance study and rest. I alsothank my family, especially my sister, who came to my school many times to visit me.
Her support and comfort gave me much strength.
Lastly my gratitude would be expressed to Charles Gardner, Paul Berger, HelenC. White, Maung Ba-han, S. Foster Damon, J. G. Davies. Even though some of themhave gone to the land where no traveler returns back, their results of years of researchwill be passed down to future generations. Without their researches, students ofWilliam Blake would fumble many more years in the mystical land of the mystic-poet.
William Ralph Inge, Miss Evelyn Underhill, Emily Herman, Joseph B. Collins,without whose systematic exploration of mysticism I would be totally at loss in thevast ocean of this particular human experience.
My school is big and beautiful. It is in my hometown. There are many flowers, trees and grass there. There is a track on the playground, too.
I'm in Class 3, Grade 6. In my school, every grade has three classes. There are seven lessons every day. We must get up at 5:30, because our school bus comes at 6:30. We get to school probably at 6:55. Our class begins at 7:50. We eat lunch at school at 12:00. We finish school at 3:30. So we go home very early. After school, I do my homework at home. Sometimes, I play football with my friends. We are all very happy. This is my school!

Nunan(1993)曾以英语作为第二语言教学为例说明“行动研究”的六步骤：①确定问题;②初步调查;③提出假设;④干预;⑤结果;⑥报告。Kemmis 和McTaggart(1982)认为行动研究的基本过程应包括计划—实施—观察—反思四个基本环节。
本研究以Nunan“行动研究”六步骤为框架，以《国际贸易实务(英)》为例，阐述商务英语“行动研究”具体方法：
① 确定问题
② 初步调查
③ 提出假设
学生对教学内容无兴趣主要原因有：首先，英语专业学生基本都是学文科出身，数学功底比较薄弱，这是主要内因。其次，在提问过程中教师用了较多的陈列性问题，很难激发学生学习难度较高的课程，尤其是理论部分。
④ 干预
⑤ 结果
教学内容和方法改变后，学生对课程的兴趣和参与度显著提高，最重要的是师生、生生互动大大增强。
⑥ 报告

行动研究近年已成为教师专业发展和课程发展的重要手段之一(Elliot，1991)。
商务英语作为一门交叉型(林添湖，1999)、应用型、复合型(张武保、严新生，2008)学科，其学科地位在1997年得以确立。随后，全国国际商务英语研究会成立，商务英语研究在我国迅速发展起来。30年来，商务英语领域共有2472篇学术论文得到发表(叶兴国等，2011)，研究内容涉及商务语言知识与技能、商务英语教学、ESP理论与研究、谈判、跨文化交际等方面。国外学者对商务英语的定义、性质、范畴等进行了较为系统的研究，成果显著。对Elsever Science Direct SSCI期刊数据库检索所得的18篇商务英语论文中，56%主题为商务英语教学研究，为商务英语语言研究，为商务英语教材研究。关于商务英语行动研究的论文比较少，对商务英语进行行动研究仍有一定学术和应用空间。
