8th Annual Summer Institute for Teaching a Second Language for Business Communications
June 21-25, 2010  - University of Pennsylvania

The Summer Institute for Teaching a Second Language for Business Communication is designed primarily for secondary and post-secondary language educators. This program includes an overview of basic business fundementals, combined with discussion of current issues in language-teaching methodology and curriculum design. Participants work on group projects in which they design curriculum modules that apply the concepts addressed during the program. After the institute, participants receive a compilation of all the projects to enable them to adapt and use the modules in their own classroom situations. Participants who are Pennyslvania or New Jersey public school teachers are eligible to receive continuing-education credit.
