Following the success of BESIG's first ever online event in June we are very happy to announce the second in this series of events, which this time has been organised to explore and discuss intercultural communication in business and the business English classroom.
A team of leading business English and intercultural communication professionals has been invited to share their considerable expertise in this increasingly important, many would argue crucial, aspect of our work.
This entirely web-based conference will take place at 14.00 (CET, i.e. UTC/GMT+2 ) on 30 September 2010. The schedule is as follows:
14.00 Baoquan Liu: Assessing Intercultural Business Communicative Competence
14.20 Evan Frendo: But we have a contract!
14.40 Sabrina Gerland: Teaching culture with a pragmatics approach
15.00 Peter Franklin: Mindfulness - and what else it takes to 'do' intercultural business communication
15.20 Panel discussion and Question & Answer session with online audience (20 - 30 min)

Looking forward to seeing you at the this exciting event on September 30, 2010.
