International business in a foreign language: developing linguistic and intercultural competencies

Benoit, Céline; Robert, Aurélia

Abstract

This case study examines how Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) and Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) are used within the International Business and Modern Languages (IBML) programmes at Aston University, Birmingham. It highlights how combining both pedagogies enables students to become highly employable graduates, enhancing not only their communication and linguistic skills but also refining their intercultural awareness and business acumen.
