🌟 Plenary Talk: “Embracing Change and Renewal in Business English Teaching”
Join us for a plenary talk to explore the evolving roles of Business English (BE) teachers from the 1980s to today. Discover how technology, especially AI, is reshaping BE teaching and meeting modern learners’ needs. We’ll also delve into a case study from the capital markets sector, highlighting how BE teachers may support multilingual-cultural teams in achieving their goals.

Ever noticed how “messy” real-world English can be—and yet, it still gets the job done?

Evan Frendo and Virginia Lopez Grisolia are looking at the evidence behind authentic workplace talk and why the classroom rules don’t always apply.

🎤 Session: “English as a business lingua franca (BELF) in reality: Looking at the evidence.”
🕒 Friday, April 24, 10:35 to 11.05
🏢 Auditorium 1
