Just to add to the mix, Yaying, I suggest you look at SFU's MBA program description and see what they use - though maybe you'd want to distinguish your program? - and also I'll forward your query to a couple of colleagues who may have some ideas based on what they do. Wendy -----Original Message----- From: CASLL/Inkshed [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Yaying Zhang Sent: Wednesday, March 23, 2005 8:55 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: request for information Dear colleagues, I've been asked to develop a Management Communication course for our new MBA program here at the University College of the Cariboo (soon to be Thompson Rivers University!). Can you recommend textbooks that have worked for you? I'm looking for textbooks that approach business communication from a discourse or genre analysis perspective, so that students will learn to critically examine the discourse practices they are asked to engage in in addition to learning the practical aspects of business communication. Many thanks in advance! Yaying Yaying Zhang, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Department of English and Modern Languages University College of the Cariboo Box 3010, Kamloops, B.C.
