As the economic exchanges between China and Japan are becoming more and more frequent and deepened，the market no longer favours graduates who have mastered Japanese language only. The demand for qualified talents who are proficient in Business Japanese knowledge is increasing. The concept of Business Japanese has also come into being. Up to now, there are still many colleges and universities which trade Business Japanese just as a practice course. In this course, students learn business knowledge after learning Japanese knowledge. The university in which the author works, is the member from the beginning of the establishment of China Association of International Trade-International Business Japanese Research Committee in 2007. After years of exploration and practice, a distinctive Business Japanese major has been formed in author’s university, not just a course. The market is always changing. The existing curriculum system and teaching methods can not be applied all the time. In the past, people always explored the improvement in the traditional Japanese teaching method. The introduction of JSP theory (Japanese for Specific Purposes) can help us to solve this problem from a more professional perspective. JSP theory originated in the 80s of last century, and its development is short. It has been introduced into China for a short time, and has not even been popularized in the field of Japanese education in China. At present, the study of JSP theory in Japanese education is mostly about the analysis of professional terms and discourses, or the discussion of teaching materials and teaching methods from the perspective of learners and instructors. There are relatively few papers on JSP courses from the perspective of social needs. After entering the twenty-first Century, education of Japanese major in Colleges and universities is facing unprecedented competition pressure and survival pressure. How to cultivate Japanese talents who meet the needs of the society and how to improve the advantages of graduates become important issues that must be considered. The author is to use JSP theory to guide the reform of business Japanese curriculum system and teaching methods, and then achieve the goal of training business Japanese talents that meet the needs of society.
