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.

Literacy and Business Language Instruction: Implications for Classroom
