NICK BRIEGER is one of the four directors of York Associates. After a first degree in law and an M.A. in Applied Linguistics, his early career included language training and teacher training, mainly in Europe. In the 90’s, the accelerated demand for English as a Global Language took him to Asia, where he helped spread the word about the need to develop English language competence amongst those interested in pursuing international careers. In recent years, he has worked closely with a range of major international organisations in both the public and private sectors on communication and intercultural training programmes.

Session: DEVELOPING PEOPLE INTERNATIONALLY: BEYOND LANGUAGE COMPETENCE
Since its emergence on the ELT scene in the late 1970's, Business English has evolved through three key phases:
1. The early years (late 70s to late 80s): focus on language development around specialist areas, influenced both by ESP and communicative methodologies
2. The mid years (late 80s to late 90s): focus on communication skills in a business context, especially presentations, meetings, phoning, negotiating, and socialising, influenced by ideas on communication effectiveness (the total message) in contrast to linguistic accuracy
3. Emerging trends: focus on competences to reflect changing global working patterns, e.g. internationalisation of corporate HQ, virtual international teams, influenced by psychology (especially psychometrics), sociology and anthropology.
In this talk, I’d like to look at where we have come from and map out some possible ways forward for Business English so that it can continue to serve business communities.
