¿Qué textos escritos se usan en el ejercicio profesional de comercio exterior en China? Análisis de necesidades para la enseñanza-aprendizaje de ELE

This article aims to identify what type of written texts are produced or translated in the professional practice of foreign trade between China and Spanish-speaking countries. Based on a needs analysis approach to teaching, a qualitative study is carried out in which, based on semi-structured interviews, information is collected from 29 participants from three groups: Spanish teachers; foreign trade teachers, and businessmen or employees dedicated to the commercial sector. The results provide a detailed image of the diversity and complexity of written uses in Spanish in this professional context: commercial, financial, legal-administrative and other protocol-type texts. These findings are essential for their implications in the teaching-learning of Spanish for specific purposes in foreign trade in the Chinese context.
