Language for Business Conference

October 31-November 1, 2008
Hotel Sofitel, Miami, FL

Florida International University's CIBER is proud to announce the
Language for Business Conference: K-12 and Community College, new
perspectives on developing a language for business course. The day and
a half conference will be held in Miami, October 31st - November 1st
at the Sofitel Hotel. The Conference has the support of consulates,
language associations and cultural organizations and will bring
editorial companies from throughout the world to Miami to showcase the
materials to K-12 teachers and junior community college professors. 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.
