Global Interdependence and Language, Culture, and Business (CIBER 2002)
Chapel Hill, North Carolina: March 13-16, 2002


   *  Conference themes:

The conference seeks to bring together business and language
professionals and academics to discuss the juncture of foreign language,
culture, and business in education today. Global interdependence demands
an educational milieu to match reality. U.S. students must be able to
take advantage of new opportunities, environments, organizations, and
technologies that are shaping the world. Business/language/literature
faculties possess untapped opportunities to join their respective
disciplines to create curricula, pedagogies, educational materials, and
technologies relevant for students' futures as part of an interdependent
global economy.


   *  Call for Papers, Extended Abstracts, and Posters:

We welcome submissions exploring theoretical, empirical, and practical
approaches to integrating foreign language instruction, cross-cultural
studies, and international business education to prepare for a globally
interdependent world. Presentations on the following topics may focus on
the K-12, undergraduate, post-graduate, or professional levels.

   * Business for Language Classes or Language for Business Classes?
     Cross disciplinary Approaches to Global Education
   * Business in International Literature and International Literature
     in Business
   * The Cultural Dimensions of Globalization and Equity (e.g., how do
     culture and language reflect profound economic changes)
   * Language for Specialized Uses: Educating for New Career Options
