 Wednesday, March 10, 1993

Educators, researchers, members of international organizations, and

business practices to second language acquisition. Topics may include
international economics, finance, import-export, customs, banking,
journalism, diplomacy, advertising, and computer-based foreign
language instruction.

Presentations must focus on the appropriateness and application of
business terminology to foreign language teaching, and should address
such issues as curriculum design, proficiency-oriented instruction,
activities for the foreign language classroom, translation techniques,
testing, and internships. All presentations must be given in English,
