K-12 Conference - Languages for Business - Florida International University
FIU CIBER in collaboration with the Embassy of Spain, and other institutions is organizing a conference to make all text books for teaching Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese and Chinese for business available to K-12 teachers. Through our partners the conference will bring editorial companies from different parts of the world to Miami to showcase the materials to K-12 teachers of all around the US. There will be travel grants available for K-12 teachers. FIU-CIBER language coordinator, Dr. Maida Watson, created a list of the latest editions of Spanish for Business text books available to the public. She distributed the list to all participants of our Faculty Development program "Teaching Spanish for Business in Spain" and was an immediate success. The idea is to share the materials with the K-12 academia.
The Centers for International Business Education and Research (CIBERs) were created under the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 to increase and promote the nation's capacity for international understanding and economic enterprise. Administered by the U.S. Department of Education under Title VI, Part B of the Higher Education Act of 1965, the CIBER program links the manpower and information needs of U.S. business with the international education, language training, and research capacities of universities across the U.S. Thirty-one universities were designated as centers that serve as regional and national resources to business, students, and academics. Together, the CIBERs form a powerful network focused on improving American competitiveness and providing comprehensive service and programs that help U.S. business succeed in global markets.
