The organizers are pleased to invite papers in a special field of study combining the three subjects in the above section title: Business related to Language related to Management. In our world of speedy globalization business cannot do without special language competencies (oral presentations, public speaking, translation, interpretation, etc.) and language learning requires a constant renewal of and alternative approaches to classroom management, curriculum management and language school management. English is the lingua franca of international business but languages of each nation should be appreciated and promoted as part of a multicultural world. The conference organizers would be happy to see papers on issues which touch upon the above aspects and present possible answers to the new challenges. The section is organized by Professor Péter Szaffkó, Director of Debrecen Summer School teaching Hungarian language and culture since 1927, Associate Professor and Ambassador of the University of Debrecen, Hungary, and Visiting Professor of Poznan University College of Business.
