2009 CIBER Business Language Conference

April 2-4, 2009
Marriott Country Club Plaza, Kansas City, MO

Whether managers are finding markets in Asia, Africa, Europe, or Latin America, speaking the local languages and knowing the cultural terrain can make or break a deal. But how do we teach these skills, especially to adult learners? Come to Kansas City to chart new directions in research and share ideas and best practices for teaching language and culture to business professionals.

The 2009 conference is being organized by the CIBER at the University of Kansas. Further details, including the call for papers and registration information, can be found at www.2009ciberblc.ku.edu.
