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.<br><br>Presentation strands:<br><br>Literacy and Business Language Instruction: Implications for Classroom Practices<br>Literacy for Professional Contexts: Approaches to Cross-Cultural Training<br>Literacy and Study-Abroad/Immersion Programs<br>Heritage Language Learners and Literacy for Professional Contexts<br>Assessments: Proficiency Testing, Cross-Cultural Competence, Content Knowledge<br>Curriculum Development and Implementation (Modes, Standards, Proficiency)<br>Literacy and Technology<br>Case Studies: Literacy and Business Practices<br><br><br><br>Submitting a Proposal:<br><br><br><br>You may submit your paper/proposal by using our online submission system!
