Researchers are invited to submit abstracts and papers broadly consistent with this conference's topic.

The conference is open to anybody involved in 'Language and Business' issues, including both young and experienced researchers, PhD students, post-doctoral researchers, and professionals from business, government and non-governmental institutions. The conference will be in English, but research may be related to any language.

Although all papers that fit the theme ''Languages in Business Education'' may be submitted, the conference committee invites in particular proposals related to themes such as the following:

- The interface of languages in business education and intercultural studies
- Acquisition of intercultural competence in business language training
- The place of languages in the curricula of business programmes
- Levels of language proficiency in business education
- CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) in business and intercultural studies (e.g. implementation issues in tertiary education, teacher training and syllabus/curriculum design at university level, study progress measurement techniques)

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return 
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact 
your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple 
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company 
operates such a program.
