It is a challenge to identify how and when professionals actually use languages other than English. Interactions from finance to marketing to accounting and operations all demand specific expertise. It is also essential to figure out how cultural issues surface in real-world interactions. Fortunately, the same principles that apply in creating task-based and project-based learning for business language also correspond with principles that impact language acquisition in general. The object of this presentation is to share practical, hands-on strategies in task-based and project-based learning of business language that also apply to other models of language teaching in general.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Orlando R.
