Conception of a Collaborative Platform for Dynamic Sharing of Professional English Resources

Globalization makes international communications between countries much more significant, which is well manifested in all industries. Therefore, talents with a good command of professional English (PE) are critical for enterprises to gain success in international competitions. However, school education cannot provide adequate training for PE talents because of the lack of PE resources and teachers with proper professional knowledge. This paper proposes a conception of a collaborative platform for dynamic sharing of professional English resources. According to the conception, this platform is of strong Web 2.0 characteristics and relies a lot on language information processing technology. It brings the scattered PE stakeholders in different industries together and makes them share resources and experience to benefit each other. The platform can also facilitate translation work by its increasingly bigger corpora. Moreover, it can be used for school education purposes as well.
