Английский язык уже давно проник во все сферы человеческой деятельности и стал инструментом интеграции в глобальное общество. Изучение английского языка признано необходимостью в большинстве стран мира. Однако если в школе упор делается на освоение курса «General English», то при обучении английскому языку в вузе на первый план выходят овладение академическими навыками и навыки профессионального общения. Эти два аспекта и легли в основу данного учебного пособия, которое охватывает первую часть практического курса «Английский для востоковедов» (‘English for Asian Studies’). Курс построен на принципах коммуникативного подхода к изучению английского языка и включает четыре вида речевой деятельности: прослушивание (Listening), чтение (Reading), говорение (Speaking), письмо (Writing), а также изучение грамматики и вокабуляра. Основной целью учебного пособия является развитие у студентов как академических навыков (написание эссе, аннотаций, тезисов, выступление с презентацией, участие в круглых столах и дебатах), так и навыков в сфере английского для специальных целей (овладение англоязычной терминологией будущей специальности, знакомство с культурологическими, экономическими, историческими, политическими реалиями изучаемого региона). Пособие «Английский для востоковедов» основано на аутентичном англоязычном материале, посвященном странам Восточно-Азиатского региона, и состоит из шести частей (Units): Unit 1. Анимэ (Япония); Unit 2. Бренды (Китай); Unit 3. Образование (Корея); Unit 4. Искусство (Дальний Восток); Unit 5. Инновационные технологии (Япония); Unit 6. Азиатский образ жизни (Дальний Восток). Учебное пособие рассчитано на студентов бакалавриата отделения востоковедения и предусматривает наличие у студентов уровня коммуникативной компетенции на английском языке в диапазоне B2+ – С1.

Gain a deeper understanding of Asian financial reporting and how to detect irregularities The Asian region, and particularly China, is becoming a hotbed of investment activity. There have been quite a few accounting scandals in Asia in the recent years – now rivaling those we have seen in the Americas and Europe. Assessing potential or active overseas investments requires reliance on financial statements, the full parameters of which may vary from region to region. To effectively analyze statements, it is necessary to first understand the framework underlying these financial statements and then lay out a protocol for detecting irregularities. It's impossible to create and implement a practical plan without a deeper knowledge of the various factors at play. Asian Statement Analysis: Detecting Financial Irregularities provides a framework for analysis that makes irregularities stand out. Authors Chin Hwee Tan and Thomas R. Robinson discuss international financial reporting standards, including characteristics particular to the Asian region. Tan and Robinson's combined background in academia and Asian finance give them a multi-modal perspective and position them as top authorities on the topic. In the book, they address issues such as: Detection of irregularities independent of particular accounting rules The most common irregularities in the Asian market Similarities and differences between U.S. and Asian accounting techniques An overarching framework for irregularity detection The book uses real-world examples to illustrate the concepts presented, with the focus on Asian companies. As the first ever in-depth study on manipulation and irregularities in the Asian market, Asian Financial Statement Analysis: Detecting Financial Irregularities is uniquely positioned to be a valuable resource in the move toward the next phase of global reporting standards.
