| Title | Integrating the Language Aspects of Intercultural Competencies into Language for Specific Purposes Programmes |
| Body | Read research about the importance of teaching linguistic and intercultural competencies for the workplace! From: https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED595329.pdf Abstract: Business schools and their foreign language departments are expected to support their students in the transition from the academic sphere into the world of work, where non-domain skills including intercultural competencies have gained importance in degree jobs. To react to labour market trends, the Institute of Business Communication and Professional Language Studies decided to offer courses of intercultural skills with the aim of preparing students for appropriate and effective communication in an international environment. This is to be achieved by developing open, conscious,and adaptable behaviour and also by the acquisition of the linguistic and non-language elements of intercultural communication. Students should know how information is conveyed both in their mother tongue and the target language (explicit and subtle ways of expressing thoughts, potential areas of misunderstanding). The paper also deals with the benefits business organisations can gain by possessing intercultural competencies. |
