24 - 25 June 2011

IATEFL BESIG in collaboration with The School of Languages and International Studies at the University of Central Lancashire, UK, takes great pleasure in inviting you to the Summer Symposium on Teaching Business English with Digital Technologies.

Twitter. Facebook. Video conferencing. Virtual worlds. E-mail. RSS. Social media. All of these terms are being used today in modern international business communication as digital technologies transform the way business people connect, interact, collaborate and share information. The symposium addresses the impact of digital and Web 2.0 technologies on business English teaching and training. The event will provide both practical hands-on talks and workshops to give participants a thorough overview of developments in the area. We look forward to welcoming you to Preston, England’s newest city.
