Transferable Skills for the 21st Century: Preparing Students for the Workplace through World Languages for Specific Purposes (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780578458090)

This book highlights pedagogical approaches to teaching World Languages for Specific Purposes (WLSP) in the United States. Each chapter begins with an overview of a transferable skill that students acquire through the second language acquisition process. These overviews are followed by case-studies that illustrate how instructors have incorporated transferable skills in their WLSP courses in order to prepare students for the professional/academic demands of the 21st century. The book's last chapter also provides practical suggestions for adjusting WLSP (as well as world language) curricula to enhance students' career-readiness skills.
