Preparing students for the global workforce: Chinese and non-Chinese working professionals on key employability skills

In this study, 79 Chinese and non-Chinese working professionals responded to an employability-skills survey. They were asked to identify key language and intercultural proficiencies that would allow non-Chinese professionals to work more effectively with Chinese colleagues and clients. All participants work or worked in multilingual and multicultural settings from a limited set of business sectors and job positions in mainland China. Quantitative data suggest that the participants consider intercultural competence to be the most valuable skill in global work settings. Intercultural competence includes the ability to collaborate with colleagues and clients of different nationalities, the ability to adapt to Chinese problem-solving norms when conflicts arise, and the flexibility to apply Chinese cultural practices inside and outside the workplace. Notably, a significant mean difference exists between the Chinese and non-Chinese participants concerning adaptability to Chinese norms around conflict. Regarding language proficiency, the participants identified conversational competence as the most important skill for interpersonal communication at work and beyond, placing less emphasis on the ability to read formal documents and correspondence in Chinese. This analysis attempts to suggest pedagogical guidance for Chinese and other business language educators seeking to develop sustainable business language curricula that meet the demand for a globally competent workforce.

Real-client projects in the LSP classroom: Business and German students teamworking across disciplines

This paper presents a cross-disciplinary project in which business German and international marketing management students were teamed up to complete work for a real client. Each team developed a proposal for a new marketing and communications strategy for a non-profit organization focused on the German language and cultures. We first examine real-client projects as a subcomponent of experiential learning, with benefits highlighted in the secondary literature including the opportunity for students to apply their course-gained knowledge and skills and to interact with local communities, which lends purpose and authenticity to their classroom learning. We then present our cross-disciplinary version of a real-client project, outlined in four phases with specific tasks, deliverables, and goals. Project outcomes demonstrate the ways in which the real-client project allowed students to apply content knowledge and skills from their respective fields, while supporting peer-to-peer learning within a disciplinarily diverse team in a professional setting. We conclude with recommendations to facilitate developing and carrying out cross-disciplinary real-client projects in business language or other LSP fields.

Phraseological Units and Their Transformations

The peculiarity of French phraseologisms is that they are frequently used in the language of scientific, business and journalistic style. These are expressions from ancient literature, Greek and Latin phraseologies without translation. The construction of phrases assumes certain types and means of syntax, semantics and grammatical features of components, lexical and stylistic differentiation of components. The main role in the formation of the utterance is given to the verb, since it expresses the mode of action (punitive, conditional ...), its completeness or incompleteness, conditionality or unconditionality. In addition to grammatical meanings, the verb assumes its own semantics i.e. compatibility of the verb with nouns, adverbs or prepositions. An important role is played by the phenomenon of the propagation of the value of components or components of phraseology, when additional components enhance or actualize the fundamental value of phraseology and add more expressiveness to the given phraseological unit. Particular attention is given to phrases in which the internal form is conditioned by the use of prepositions, conjunctions, which serve to convey various circumstantial meanings. That is, additional components actualize the fundamental importance of phraseologism. Key words: phraseologies; literal meaning; idioms; images.

ШВЕДСКИЙ ЯЗЫК ОФИЦИАЛЬНО-ДЕЛОВОГО ОБЩЕНИЯ В НОВОЕ И НОВЕЙШЕЕ ВРЕМЯ

Processes typical of the Swedish business language during the modern era were described. The study is of high importance, because this functional style of the Swedish language has been insufficiently investigated despite the regulation and normalization processes in it are of obvious interest to specialists in the Germanic languages. The main research method is synchronic analysis enabling examination and description the material in terms of the existing norms. A wide range of examples were provided to illustrate that in the modern era the language of law gradually gets closer to the language of notifications, rules, orders, regulations, etc., i.e., to documents that are usually implied when talking about officialese (the official and business style). It was concluded that the modern period was marked by not only the distinction between these two stylistic types of text, but also by the fact that they both acquired features common to Swedish non-fiction texts (sakprosan). In the 19th century, these processes were not very evident and, despite some minor innovations, the Swedish business language still contained a number of archaic features revealed in the so-called “substantival sickness” (substantivsjukan). A fundamental change took place in the 20th century and is associated with the spelling reform of 1906, as well as significant changes in such elements of the Swedish business language as syntax, morphology, and vocabulary that emerged mostly in the second half of the 20th century. The results obtained are of great importance for studying the Swedish stylistics, as well as for understanding the essence and roles of language policy in the process of normalizing and codifying the literary language.
