Global Literacies: Integrated Approaches to Cross-Cultural Training Sharing ideas, Engaging Communities, Integrating Practices
The theme of the 12th Annual CIBER Business Language Conference explores the practice and theory of language and cultural training through the lens of literacy. The notion of literacies emphasizes the multiple competencies required of future business leaders to situate appropriate understandings and meaning in proper contexts (discursive practices in specific cultures/contexts depending on who is speaking, what they are speaking about and the channel of communication). The upcoming conference continues the tradition of bringing together teachers, scholars, policy makers, and business leaders to discuss business language education and to share ideas about the ways language education for future business leaders can benefit from principled frameworks and understandings of literacy, cross-cultural awareness and second language acquisition.
