Abstract

In response to a restructure which reassessed the place of languages in the University, the decision was finally taken that as there had been some solid interaction between Languages staff and programs and Business staff and programs to place the Languages department within the School of Business. Teaching innovations have emerged which combine language and business learning, including major curriculum innovation, overseas work experience, and interactive web-based Japanese language acquisition techniques.
