Abbott","doi":"10.4079/gbl.v23.7","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4079/gbl.v23.7","url":null,"abstract":"The research on language for specific purposes (LSP) is rich and varied in part because scholars bring to the field their research expertise from other disciplines, such as linguistics, literary studies, and cultural studies. The array of research topics and approaches also reflects the efforts from within LSP to foment research, such as providing conference, publication, and professional development opportunities that build a community of researchers. Mostly absent from the LSP literature, however, is autoethnography, an increasingly popular research method with the potential to examine complexities within specific professions, the courses we teach and ourselves as LSP scholars. In this essay, I argue that autoethnography—a research methodology that describes the author’s (my) personal experience in order to present and analyze “cultural beliefs, values, practices and identities,” (Adams et al., 2022, p. 3)—should have a place in the future of LSP research, as a complement to other research methodologies. I share an autoethnographic account of my experiences developing and teaching a new LSP course. In particular, I focus on the role of self-doubt, isolation, and imposter syndrome as I ventured into an unfamiliar professional terrain to me: healthcare. In the end, this study of the self reflects the troubling position of LSP within the culture of one language department in US higher education and raises questions for further inquiry.","PeriodicalId":34034,"journal":{"name":"Global Business Languages","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70611005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there is no clinically contextualized, standardized approach to medical student language assessment. This article reports on the development and effectiveness of a training curriculum to prepare raters to use a new rubric, the Physician Oral Language Observation Matrix (POLOM), to reliably rate medical student Spanish oral proficiency after observing videorecorded encounters between students and standardized patients. Curriculum effectiveness was primarily evaluated by examining each rater trainee’s level of agreement with expert consensus POLOM ratings (i.e., inter-rater reliability as measured by the generalizability theory dependability coefficient). Out of the study’s nine rater trainees, who were from either medical or linguistic professional backgrounds, five proceeded to the calibration phase, and four attained the reliability threshold required for calibration. The paper concludes that this rater training curriculum can successfully train raters to use the POLOM reliably when evaluating medical student Spanish oral proficiency during videorecorded healthcare encounters. To allow for improved assessment of student language skills prior to use in patient care, future efforts should focus on POLOM validity assessment and larger scale rater recruitment, training, calibration, and maintenance.","PeriodicalId":34034,"journal":{"name":"Global Business Languages","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70610649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Davie","doi":"10.4079/gbl.v22.5","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4079/gbl.v22.5","url":null,"abstract":"For students who major in world languages in undergraduate university programs and go on to apply the resultant knowledge professionally, the imperative to continue learning about that language and about communication more generally does not stop once they graduate. However, their ability to undertake world language-related professional development can be beset with challenges, such as cost, time, finding the right training, and, vitally, securing employer support. For their part, while employers of world language graduates rely greatly on their staff’s language proficiency and cross-cultural knowledge, they can fail to appreciate knowledge gaps or provide adequate ongoing training (e.g., Arthur & Beaton, 2000; British Academy, 2016; Davie, in preparation). This article assesses the world language professional development situation in one major UK employer of language graduates, a department within the national civil service. It firstly describes the steps taken to address graduate knowledge gaps through the creation of in-house learning modules in linguistics and cultural and linguistic anthropology. It then analyses trends in feedback elicited through a mixed-methods data collection approach. Finally, it discusses the effectiveness and impact of the learning and considers the implications of the study for employers and higher education.","PeriodicalId":34034,"journal":{"name":"Global Business Languages","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70610679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hanson","doi":"10.4079/gbl.v22.2","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4079/gbl.v22.2","url":null,"abstract":"Business school graduates, especially international business majors, now begin their careers in a globally linked economy that requires crosslinguistic and cross-cultural communication skills. Related research areas—including studies on the impact of language on multinational businesses, the internationalization of business school (and related) curriculum instruction in Language for Specific Purposes (LSP), and the role of translation and interpreting (T&I) in the language classroom—have developed independently, limiting opportunities for dialogue and collaboration. This current study encourages a transdisciplinary approach that brings scholars from these related research traditions into dialogue. Following an overview and synthesis of these research areas, this study presents a summary of language requirements in 208 international business programs at US undergraduate institutions. Finally, four strategies to incorporate LSP and T&I in business school curriculum are outlined, including recommendations to promote T&I literacy, develop content-aligned language instruction, encourage collaboration between language and business faculty, and engage business school accreditors to spur change. The objective is to promote the mutual development of curriculum between business schools and language programs, specifically by encouraging international business programs to recognize the value of LSP and T&I instruction to promote career readiness.","PeriodicalId":34034,"journal":{"name":"Global Business Languages","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70610886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
