ConferenceGW-CIBER: World Russian Forum
The Center for International Business Education and Research at the George Washington University (GW-CIBER) is collaborating with the organizers of the World Russian Forum in an effort to bring world class experts to Russian language educators, students, and practitioners.
We invite you to join us for the 27th annual World Russian Forum to be held May 19-20, 2008 on Capitol Hill, at the George Washington University, and the Russian Cultural Center in Washington, DC. The main purpose of the Forum is to discuss and generate new ideas for the development and broad expansion of U.S.-Russia cooperation in global security, business and commerce, science and education, and other key areas.
There will be a specific session for Russian language instructors that will focus on understanding, analyzing, and interpreting the rich content on Russian business, politics, and educational issues in order to devise ways in which these new insights can be transferred into the Russian language classroom, and more specifically the Business Russian classroom. In-depth discussion will be led by experienced business language professional Dr. Maria Bourlatskaya from the Lauder Institute at the University of Pennsylvania. Participants will be immersed in the Russian language throughout the duration of the program.
The GW-CIBER is subsidizing the majority of the $250 registration fee for Russian instructors who are interested in attending the World Russian Forum. The reduced fee is $100. You have to register thorough the GW-CIBER in order to receive this discount! Please feel free to share this information with your graduate students and other educators who might be interested in participating!
