Conference
Language(s) at the workplace :
A Challenge for Education and Vocational Training
Proceedings (french only)
Abstracts
- In the past 10 years a series of questions on the importance
of language in the workplace has emerged, prompted by the rapid transformation of work and
new technologies, to analyze the problems this wave of change may be creating in
vocational training and education systems. Increasing demand for technical skills,
generalization of writing skills in the workplace and new forms of organisation have
changed the relationship between written and oral communication.
The objective of this conference was to update the links between the
multi-disciplinary research of the "Langage et Travail" network and the research
conducted in the fields of vocational training. One of its goals was to discuss the
current developments of language in the workplace and to analyse its treatment in
education and vocational training.
The conference was intended to researchers, students,
professors, managers and those in the workforce- anyone concerned with language uses in
the workplace and its importance in the world of education and vocational training in
France and abroad.
