Fwd: GW-CIBER: Your Special Invitation to the World Russian Forum

[Richard Robin]

Dear Colleagues,

The Center for International Business Education and Research at the
George Washington University (GW-CIBER) is collaborating with the
organizers of the World Russian Forum in an effort to bring world
class experts to Russian language educators, students, and
practitioners.

We invite you to join us for the 27th annual World Russian Forum to be
held May 19-20, 2008 on Capitol Hill, at the George Washington
University, and the Russian Cultural Center in Washington, DC. The
main purpose of the Forum is to discuss and generate new ideas for the
development and broad expansion of U.S.-Russia cooperation in global
security, business and commerce, science and education, and other key
areas. There will be a specific session for Russian language
instructors that will focus on understanding, analyzing, and
interpreting the rich content on Russian business, politics, and
educational issues in order to devise ways in which these new insights
can be transferred into the Russian language classroom, and more
specifically the Business Russian classroom. In-depth discussion will
be led by experienced business language professional Dr. Maria
Bourlatskaya from the Lauder Institute at the University of
Pennsylvania. Participants will be immersed in the Russian language
throughout the duration of the program.

The GW-CIBER is subsidizing the majority of the $250 registration fee
for Russian instructors who are interested in attending the World
Russian Forum. The reduced fee is $100. You have to register thorough
the GW-CIBER in order to receive this discount! Please feel free to share
this information with your graduate students and other educators who
might be interested in participating!
