This book presents a critique of current English as a Business
Lingua Franca (BELF) practices using research conducted in Bosnia
and Herzegovina. The authors identify English communication
behaviors that hinder or promote success in the workplace, and
trace these back to curricula and teaching practices. The authors
suggest which skills employers need and expect from employees, and
question whether English courses concerned with general academic
English skills and business vocabulary are sufficient training for
linguistically-complex workplaces. The book also examines whether
the focus on achieving native-like proficiency with high
grammatical standards and a strong emphasis on form are adequately
preparing students who aspire to use English in professional
contexts as a means to 'get their job done'.
