This program also develops both professional knowledge about the fields of international business and pedagogical skills that will enhance teaching. Moore School's FDIB goes well beyond the "let's get acquainted with international business" programs. It delivers extensive training in the international aspects of the functional disciplines. Faculty are equipped to teach the basic international course in that discipline as well as infuse international content into other courses they teach.

This workshop is designed for college and university professors of Spanish who are interested or already offering courses in business Spanish at the advanced- intermediate and advanced levels. It is also intended to provide an understanding of the field of international business, a source of employment for many students of foreign languages.   Each topic of this program was carefully selected to cultivate better instruction. Participants will discover new practices and resources to improve their abilities as instructors in the ever evolving and changing international business environment.
