January 23, 2010  - Florida International University

Florida International University’s CIBER is proud to announce the 2nd Annual KLanguage for Business Conference: K-12 and Community College, Technologies and Tools for a New Language for Business Course. The day conference will be held in Miami, January 23rd at the Sofitel Hotel. The Conference has the support of consulates, language associations and cultural organizations. We have chosen four language tracks—Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese and Japanese—concentrating on the most relevant languages taught in the classroom today. The program will serve to instruct high school teachers and junior community college professors on the importance and necessity of incorporating aspects of Language for Business into the standard curricula. It will provide teachers and professors with materials and practical lessons on how to incorporate and develop a course in the K-12 curricula on Language for Business.
