Book Synopsis Employability for languages: a handbook by : Erika Corradini
Download or read book Employability for languages: a handbook written by Erika Corradini and published by Research-publishing.net. This book was released on 2016-06-25 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Languages sit firmly in the skill-set of the 21st-century graduate. In an increasingly multicultural and multilingual job market, monolingual graduates are at a disadvantage: as the recent Born Global report (2016) notes, ‘multilingualism has now become the new normal’. The contributions in this collection are imbued with this idea and they demonstrate clearly and practically how languages are an aid to global communication. The aim of this book is to provide a space to bring together expertise and good academic practice for the benefit of educators and academic audiences. We therefore hope that the contributions in this collection will continue to inspire practitioners in the education sectors to embed employability skills into their curricula of studies, from as early as secondary school into higher education.
Book Synopsis Is Developing Employability Skills Relevant to Adult Language Students? by : Tita Beaven
Download or read book Is Developing Employability Skills Relevant to Adult Language Students? written by Tita Beaven and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Open University (OU) students are typically mature students who combine studying part-time with work or caring responsibilities; the average age of OU language students has been dropping, and about 30% of our new students are now under 25. The traditional view of adult learners who study languages is that they often study for pleasure or personal development, rather than for clear career goals. The current study investigated whether adult students found the development of employability skills as part of their language courses useful, and, if so, the development of which particularly key employability skills they valued most. A short list of references and links is included. [For the complete volume, "Employability for Languages: A Handbook," see ED566902.].

It also outlines the innovative pedagogical strategies, methods, and resources employed by language academics to help graduates transition from university into the world of work through their MFL studies.

The conference that was organised as a collaboration between the Department of Modern Languages and Cultures and the Confucius Institute of the University of Nottingham brought together researchers, practitioners, employers, and experts working on 21st century professional competencies and language education.

Book Synopsis Language Investment and Employability by : Mi-Cha Flubacher
Download or read book Language Investment and Employability written by Mi-Cha Flubacher and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-09-20 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a unique insight into negotiations around language investment for employability in the context of public employment services. Drawing on extensive ethnographical research carried out in Regional Employment Offices in Switzerland, the authors follow the stories of various job seekers. In doing so, they challenge the currently dominant assumption that investment in language competences leads to better employability. Arguing for a political economic perspective on these issues, this book will be of interest to anyone concerned with the connections between language and social inequality, as well as students and scholars of sociolinguistics and applied linguistics.

Book Synopsis The Language of Employability by : Maria Fotiadou
Download or read book The Language of Employability written by Maria Fotiadou and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-10-01 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book employs a corpus-based Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) methodology to analyse the language used by university careers services in the UK. Drawing on a corpus which includes the public-facing websites of careers services from 24 Russell Group and 34 Post-92 universities, the author highlights some of the potentially problematic 'common-sense' views and ideas that are currently promoted to students using these services. She argues that the language used by university websites promotes neoliberal ideology and encourages the denaturalisation of such language. This book will be of interest to linguists, sociologists, education scholars, and scholars who are otherwise interested in the notion of employability.
Book Synopsis Spanish for Business by : Amparo Lallana
Download or read book Spanish for Business written by Amparo Lallana and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As language lecturers, we believe that we equip our graduates with a range of key skills that give them an edge in the employment market. But, query final year students of a Business and Languages degree on the value of language learning for employability, and they are likely to mention a small number of functional abilities such as CV writing and interview skills. This perception gap inspired us to critically assess how employability is embedded in our language modules. We started by identifying the most sought after skills amongst employers and then explored with the team how these skills are integrated and developed through tasks and assessments. Finally, matching skills and tasks, we visually modelled the process by which students acquire more complex skills as they become increasingly competent in the Target Language (TL). A short list of references and links is included. [For the complete volume, "Employability for Languages: A Handbook," see ED566902.].
