Working Towards a Proficiency Scale of Business English Writing: A Mixed-Methods Approach
by Li Wang Jason FanThis book presents an empirical study to develop and validate a proficiency scale of business English writing in the Chinese tertiary context. Through a mixture of intuitive, quantitative and qualitative methods, the book demonstrates how a pool of descriptors are collectively formulated, statistically calibrated and meticulously validated for the establishment of a proficiency scale of business English writing. The writing scale differs in significant ways from the existing language scales, most of which were constructed in English as L1 or L2 contexts and applied to English for General Purposes (EGP) domains. This book also provides important insights into the construct of business English writing as well as the methods for English for Specific Purposes (ESP) proficiency scale development and validation. It is of particular interest to those who work in the area of ESP teaching and assessment.

Workshops moderieren: Eine sehr kurze Einführung
by Stefan Kühl Mascha NolteWorkshops sind im Vorfeld konzipierte, moderiete Arbeitstreffen, bei denen sich Teilnehmende außerhalb der organisationalen Regelinteraktion einer eingegrenzten Thematik widmen. In der Moderatoren- und Berater-Branche hat sich in den letzten Jahren ein Paradigmenwechsel in der Planung und Durchführung von Workshops ausgebildet. Nach dem neuen Paradigma werden Workshops als Elemente in breiter angelegten Interaktionsplänen verstanden, in welchen sie durch ihnen gleichrangige Interaktionsanlässe wie Kontraktgespräche, Sondierungsinterviews oder Großkonferenzen ergänzt werden. Insbesondere dort, wo Workshops auf organisationale Veränderungen zielen, werden sie in eine umfassendere Veränderungsarchitektur eingebettet. In diesem Buch wird kompakt gezeigt, wie man Workshops in einen umfassenden Interaktionsplan einwebt und somit als Element organisationaler Veränderungsprozesse nutzen kann.
