| Mar 24, 2010 - | 2010 CIBER Business Language Conference: Global Literacies: Integrated Approaches to Cross-Cultural Training The CIBER Business Language Conference provides the opportunity for teachers, scholars, policy makers and business leaders to discuss business language education. The conference responds to the overarching mission of the U.S. Department of Education’s CIBER grant program to enhance the competitiveness of U.S. business globally by linking the human capital and information needs of the U.S. business community with the international education, language training, and research capacity of universities across the United States. The conference ties into the larger national discourse about the ways that language education must keep pace and meet future challenges for applied language programs in light of research, trends, and needs of the changing economic environment. Through the lens of literacy as a critical construct in the fields of second language acquisition and education, participants will be invited to share ideas and charter new directions for language and cross-cultural training. The notion of literacy frames the discussion of cross-cultural training as situating appropriate understandings and meanings in proper contexts. |
